Norwich Premier Judo Club
have followed the success of their football counterparts as they
celebrate a promotion of their own having been awarded Sport England’s
clubmark.
The Clubmark scheme, which
was introduced in 2002, is a set of national standards for National
Governing Bodies of Sport to adopt and their affiliated clubs
to meet. The scheme recognises and accredits clubs that are committed
to providing safe, effective and child friendly environments for
young people.
Norwich Premier has been
running for over 40 years and has recently moved to a permanent
dojo in Heathgate, in the centre of Norwich.
The club has developed
strong links with the local community including their partner
school Notre Dame, who come down to the club once a week to do
judo as part of their extra-curricular programme. Links have also
been established with the University of East Anglia, Active Norfolk,
the County Sports Partnership and the club delivers a judo programme
with Leicester Tigers RFC.
As one of the largest clubs
in the Eastern region, Norwich Premier have a fast-rising junior
section and an ever-popular adult class.
Andrew Wilesmith, British
Judo’s Regional Development Officer, said “Norwich Premier is
an excellent club and the Clubmark award just proves that they
are working well and have been making some excellent links. Well
done to coaches Nigel Thompson, Dave Horton-Jones and the rest
of the club.
