ENFIELD JUDO CLUB have
been named as a lucky recipient of £500 worth of sports funding.
They were awarded the grants from the Cash 4 Clubs scheme, having
been selected by a panel whose distinguished judges included Dame
Kelly Holmes, Olympic Gold medallist and British record holder
in Athletics, and the Sports Commentator Barry Davies, MBE.
Enfield Judo Club based
in Middlesex currently has approximately 70 members of all ages
and skill levels. The Club is part-time, giving children and young
people the opportunity to experience Judo, and offering friendship,
confidence building and fitness all within the Enfield area in
a safe and friendly environment with qualified coaches.
The Cash 4 Clubs sports
grant was awarded to the club to enable them to purchase of jigsaw
judo mats. These lighter, more transportable judo mats will enable
the club to move around schools and Sports Centres within the
Borough of Enfield. The Jigsaw mats will enable them to carry
out displays across these venues in an attempt to reach out to
many young people.
"This Cash 4 Clubs
grant of £500 will push our club on to another level. This money
will help us buy mats to start Judo taster sessions for youngsters
in the local Enfield schools and brings us nearer in our quest
to bring schools to Judo club." George Hyslop of Enfield
Judo Club.
The club was one on
15 winners in this round of funding. For full information
