- We held our first Mons and Junior (U/11) competition for the year. A solid turnout and support from athletes representing Budokan Judo Club, OKO, Tiger-Do, Zen Bu, UTS, Judo Way of Life, Blacktown City, Kumataka and UNSW. As usual, whilst we run this event using fully manual systems and processes, it started on time, ran smoothly and had fantastic atmosphere with the canteen and BBQ humming. Thanks to the NSW referees who supported the event and to our amazing club members and families who stepped up as always to help make this event another great success.
