9 Sept - Back to Normal Times
Summer Holidays are over and school has started again! We will be back to our usual time table from tonight: Juniors Beginners (5 - 14 yrs): 18:15 - 19:30 hrs (Novice to 3rd Mon = Red Belts) Juniors Advanced: 19:15 - 20:30 hrs (4th Mon and Higher = Yellow Belt and above) Seniors : 20:30 - 22:00 hrs 4 Sept - Update on Monday's session at St Thomas Moore High School
St Thomas More High School has provided us with the following update: Judo sessions on Monday will restart on 14th Sept. from 19.00 - 20.00 hrs. NOT 7th Sept as was earlier advertised.
10 July - Change of Payment for sessions on Wednesdays:
·Starting after the summer holidays we will change the way session fees will be taken. To enable the coaches to focus on providing the best possible service, i.e. teaching and focussing on judo, we have decided that from 1st September we will start implementing monthly payments. We really think monthly payments are the way forward. For now we will be trialling monthly electronic payments for Wednesday sessions only. Sessions at St Thomas More High School are not included, but this may change in the future. Details are as follows: Monthly training fees will be due in advance, payable electronically on first of each month - including holiday months (except in agreed cases of long term illness or injury). Electronic payments will need to be made to the following account: (Preferably via Standing Order to avoid late payments which will incur £5 additional charge, see Terms & Conditions below) Southend Judo Club Barclays Bank Account No: 90242047 Sort Code: 20-49-29 (Please use Surname of Junior/Senior taking part as reference for the payment) From 1 September 2015 fees will be: Junior Members (5 to 15yrs): £15.00 per month Senior Members (16+yrs): £5.00 per session £18.00 per month or £195.00 per year (Sessional or yearly payment options are only available to Senior Members) Family Members: · Two members from the same household: £25 per month · Three members or more from the same household: £32 per month New Starters · First lesson is free, then £4 (Junior)/£5 (Senior) per session for an introductory period of up to 6 weeks. · After the introductory period New Starters should move onto electronic payments. · After 4 trial lessons New Starters are required to join the British Judo Association; BJA membership provides individual’s insurance and Club Membership (if registered with BJA under Southend Judo Club). Visitors · Visitors from other clubs are always welcome. From 1 September Session fee for visitors (Junior or Senior) will be £5. Terms and Conditions · Monthly training fees are due in advance, payable on or before the first week of each month - including holiday months (except in agreed cases of long term illness or injury). · Late payment charge of £5 is added for monthly fees that are two weeks or more overdue. This will apply for each payment missed (It is recommended to set up a Standing Order to avoid late payments). · Members should provide one month’s notice of intent to leave the club. · Visually Impaired players remain free for now, as per our agreement with Southend Borough Council. · Gradings will fall outside the Monthly Payment scheme. Gradings will be charged at £10 as per BJA charging policy. · Senior Yearly fee: To be paid in advance, to start on 1st of any month. When deciding to stop or when leaving the club, refund will be £40 per full quarter left. We hope we can count on your corporation. Southend Judo Club is run purely by volunteers and we want to ensure that we make the most of their time. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to approach Ellie or Pascal. 10 July - Summer Holidays

Judoka of the week = David Webster! 14 Jan 2015
Judoka of the week = Connor van den Hoven! 08 Jan 2015 --- CHANGE OF SESSION TIMES ---
Effective from Wednesday 4th February the trainings sessions at Chase Sport & Fitness Centre will be : Session 1: 18.15 - 19.30 hrs: Junior Beginners and Red Belts (1-3 Mon) Session 2: 19.15 - 20.30 hrs: Junior Yellow Belts and Higher (4 Mon and higher) Session 3: 20.30 - 22.00 hrs: Seniors You may notice there is an overlap between session 1 and session 2 of 15 minutes. This has specifically put in place to link session 1 and session 2. It will make the transition from session 1 to session 2 easier once your child reaches the required grade for session 2. In those 15 minutes, session 1 and session 2 will jointly go through cool down / warm up respectively. As a club, we feel that children in session 1 and session 2 will benefit from the separation. This will provide our coaches more time to focus on each child individually and also tailor the sessions better to your child's requirements. 7 Jan 2015

With a heavy heart we said goodbye to John and Sharon on Wednesday October 2nd 2013. John and Sharon started Southend Judo Club back in 2005. After 8 years, leaving the club in a very healthy condition, John and Sharon have decided, for personal reasons, to move to Wales. Many of our current members, and even some members from the past, wanted to be there to wish John and Sharon good luck for the future. They will be sorely missed!
