The BJA introduced new
grading fees on 1 January 2012 with extra funds being made available
to our Areas.
It has been approved
by the Board of Directors in consultation and agreement with the
Chairs of the Judo England Areas that Mon/Kyu grading fees will
be increased.
This increase is to cover
rising costs and more significantly, to allow the BJA to extend
the current rebate it makes to the areas. From 1st January 2012
the area will receive each month a rebate of £2.00 from each grade
registered at BJA office for 0-18th Mon, this had previously been
limited to 0-6th Mon only. Areas will continue to utilise these
funds and those from the individual licence rebate, to fund judo
activity and education within their area.
Please note that with effect
from 1st January 2012 the grade registration fees for Mon and
Kyu grades have been increased from £7.00 to £7.50.
Any gradings that have
already been advertised at the old fee of £7.00 will be honoured
until 1st February 2012.
All grade registrations
received at Head Office on or after 1st February 2012 will need
to be paid at £7.50 in order to be processed.
Gradings submitted on or
after 1st February 2012 with the old fee will unfortunately have
to be returned.
Grade registration sheets
will be updated with the new fee, but old forms can still be utilised
until the current surplus stock is used.
The BJA recognises that
organisers of gradings may require to add a surcharge to the £7.50
grade registration fee to cover additional costs such as venue
hire, examiners’ expenses etc. The BJA recommend a maximum surcharge
of £5.00 per candidate, but recognise that the grading organisers
may charge more or less depending on circumstances. Any surcharge
should be retained by the grading organiser and not sent to the
BJA.
