St Ives Easter Course 2024 and 2025.

St Ives Easter Course was founded by Major Mike O’Neill in 1963 and is still going strong 60 years later.

We would like to send a huge thank you to all those who supported the Easter Course over the years and particularly this year.

A lot of sponsorship was pledged to the benefit of all those who were on the mat with our fabulous guest instructor Musashi Ebinuma and his wife Kana. It really was a great weekend.

Following on from the course we were given the news that St Ives Guildhall is being renovated and will be closed for two years. We immediately started seeking an alternative venue, but we have not found anywhere that is both suitable and affordable. We have met this last week and come to the difficult decision to put the Easter Course on hold for two years. So, regrettably, there will not be an Easter Course in 2024 or 2025. We hope to come back with a revitalised event in 2026.

From the Easter Course Organisers: John Couch, Jacky Gray, Tom Gray, Corinna Trathen.

Update to BJC members re: Coronavirus (‘Covid-19’)
Following the Prime Minister's announcement on Monday 16th March 2020, we invite all clubs and Judoka to familiarise themselves with the current advice, www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19 and act accordingly. It is not for the BJC to tell you what to do although many of our clubs have already decided to close.
The BJC has at its heart the idea that Judo is wider than just a sport, it is also about social responsibility.

Word Reader® Required Eulogy to Tony Grigg (from Sensei Otani - BJC President)

Posted: 16 September 2017
Thank you to everyone for all your support and kind words over the last few days.

Tony's funeral will be held at 3:30pm on Friday 29th September 2017 at Westerleigh Crematorium (see below for full address). It was Tony's wish to only receive flowers from close family. For everyone else, he wanted the money that would have been spent on flowers to be donated to St Peter's Hospice in Bristol, who have been so helpful and supportive for the entirety of his battle. We have set up a just giving page for this: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tonygrigg

Alternatively, cheques made payable to St Peter's Hospice can be sent to the Downend branch of Co-op Funeral Care for the attention of Rachael Beadle (see address below). There will also be collection boxes at the crematorium. After the service, there will be a wake held at The Major's Retreat, Tormarton. All are welcome to attend and it will start from around 5.30pm.

Once again thank you to everyone for your support during this difficult time.

On behalf of myself & the family thank you all for your kindness to the family & me on the death of Eddie. People have been so supportive sending flowers, cards and donations for the Newcastle RVI ward 36, who 14 years ago saved Eddie's life. We have sent a £525 cheque today to the ward. There are so many people to thank that it's impossible for me to get around to saying thank you to you all. The turnout at his funeral was amazing and everyone has being saying the same thing, Eddie was a gentleman who would help anyone special in Judo, which was his passion.

Hosaka Kwai Sale Judo Club donates to the MacMillan Nurses
Hosaka Kwai Sale Judo Club donates to the MacMillan Nurses
On 22nd of September Hosaka Kwai made their annual donation to Macmillan Cancer Support. Macmillan cancer support provides specialist healthcare, information and financial support to people affected by cancer. As well as helping with the medical needs of people affected by cancer, Macmillan also looks at the social, emotional and practical impact cancer can have, and campaigns for better cancer care. Macmillan Cancer Support’s goal is to reach and improve the lives of everyone living with cancer in the UK.

The donation, raised from internal fundraising activities including a weekly internal lottery, is made each September by the club, in recognition of the tremendous care and support provided by the Macmillan nurses to the club founder, Akinori Hosaka, 8th Dan Kodokan, during his battle with cancer and death In 2010. The Club has raised money for the Macmillan Nurses each year thereafter.

The 2016 donation was made to Karen Morris, Macmillan Cancer Information Assistant, based at the Macmillan Centre, Wythenshawe Hospital on behalf of the judo club by Mr. Tom Brookes, Chief Coach, assisted by the club Treasurer, Mr. Bernard Tunney and Mr. Harry Isalski the club Secretary.

The Club has a healthy membership of children and adults of all ages where judo players can progress from basic judo for sport and personal development or carry on further into competitions. The club has had a world champion, national and international players who coach and practice at the club.

Those who may be interested in the sport may visit their website www.salejudo.com or mail hosakakwai@gmail.com.

From Annette HQO
It is with sadness I report the passing of Jenny Hussey of Bushfields & Focus Judo Club Peterborough. She was a key member of Team BJC for many years arranging trips and events for the squads, she was also a successful member of the British Masters Team, a very kind person always willing to help others. Of late she had been technical officer for the Area since the passing of Cyndy Newman earlier in the year.

From Sensei Robin Otani - BJC President
I am so sorry to hear of Jenny’s passing and I send my sincere condolences on behalf of the BJC membership to her son Farron, contest 2nd Dan Cromer 2000, and her family, friends and Club members. Jenny was a hard worker for the BJC and on the mat, always striving to achieve her best in contest. Although a quiet lady she had strong resolve and will be missed by her Clubs, Peterborough Area and the BJC.
