Budokan will be holding its 25th Junior NSW competition for Mons and Junior Boys and Girls age categories next Sunday 6th August and the first time we are running this event in over 2 years.
- Mons and Junior weigh-ins will be staggered. Although there are allocated weight divisions these will be used as a guide and weight divisions will be determined on the day to optimise participation. Novice grades divisions will be provided, minimum grade White-Yellow Belt. Minimum age is turning 6 years in 2023.
- We need volunteers for many of the available roles. Please assist wherever you can, especially the more experienced members and parents who can also help new people to be trained. The Volunteer sheet is available on the main table at the club. A notice is attached to the email enclosing this newsletter as well as instructions for Key Roles. Entry for this competition is ONLY at the door – cash only payment.
- We will also be running a fund-raising raffle at the competition, so could each family bring something that could be used to create hampers as prizes. These can be left at the club on the table at the back of the hall.
Finally, we will need to set up the hall on Saturday 5th August (tables on the mat, weigh-in room/scales, trophies, chairs, kitchen, BBQ etc). Normally this occurs during the club training sessions between 2.30pm and 5.00pm. However, this weekend the NSW Junior and Senior Development Squads are scheduled between 3.00 and 5.00pm although the times have not yet been confirmed. To minimise the impact on these sessions, we will tentatively schedule the setup for 12.00pm.
