In memory of Alan Povey

It is with deep sadness and regret that we have to announce the untimely death of Alan Povey.

Alan was one of the clubs long standing coaches, and his enthusiasm and dedication will be greatly missed by all. Our thoughts go out to Alan's family and close friends at this time.

Special Player Profile

Lee Harley

Lee Harley aged 14, has unfortunately had to give up practicing judo due to ill health. Lee who has been diagnosed with a rare blood disorder has been told by his specialist to give up all contact sports.  Lee has been a club member for around 4 years, and had just won his first ever medal – silver in the Salisbury Open, and was looking forward to achieving his green belt in the coming year.

Coach Glen Judd said although Lee is only small in stature, he is a tenacious and skilful player who rarely missed a lesson - a pleasure to teach.

The club wish Lee all the best in the future and look forward to the odd visit so Lee can keep an eye on his old club mates.
