Birchwood High School in
Bishop's Stortford hosted an Olympic day on Tuesday 15 March to
mark 500 days until the 2012 Olympics.
Pupils from Summercroft
Primary School also took part in an array of sports which will
take centre stage in London next year including a judo taster
session organised by the British Judo Association.
Nicole Nunn, East London
Development Coach, delivered the sessions throughout the day and
was supported by pupils who are also members of the local judo
club, Bishops Stortford Judokwai.
“The day was a fantastic
success, all the pupils enjoyed trying judo and those already
involved with the sport were a great help to their school mates,”
said Nicole.
Andrew Wilesmith, British
Judo’s Eastern Development Officer, said: “ It was a great day
that allowed the young people in Birchwood to try new sports and
get a bit of a taste of what it is like to be a part of the Olympic
experience.
“A number of new youngsters
tried judo for the first time and the response was extremely positive.
Nicole is a first-class coach and a great ambassador for the sport.”
Bishops Stortford Judokwai

players are welcome. Please contact Nicole on 07814 556591 or
