In our last newsletter I advised that our end-of-year 2021 club membership was a healthy 237 after reaching a 2021 high of 241, but that during the last COVID break and then the Christmas break, many of our club members’ Judo NSW registrations expired and our membership dropped to 219 during January. Although we had a lot of new trial memberships this year by mid-April membership dropped to a 2-year low of 203. Kelly McPherson and I have been chasing up our membership and we are now seeing an upturn with 208 financial Budokan members of Judo NSW. In short, we need your help and would really appreciate you being proactive by contacting Kelly if unsure about your membership status or club training fee payment requirements. With over 200 members and all of the coaches and committee members being volunteers, your help is needed for us to be able to keep up with our membership’s Judo NSW financial status and club training fees.
