Choosing the right platform for a judo club's online presence is crucial for its growth and community engagement.

Hi All
Wot a bizzy and successful weekend –
DAN GRADING AWE – John Schoenewolf 1 st kyu gained 20 more points towards his 1 st dan. The
competition was hard and skilful, lots of action; however, to put a perspective on his result, this was

Definitely a candidate for getting his name on the Alton Judo Club “Katana Trophy” in the not-too-
distant future. Well done indeed.
