The 9th Annual British Judo Awards Dinner – The Nominees

On 7th November 2015, British Judo will be pleased to welcome guests to the 9th Annual Awards Dinner at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham. The Annual Awards Dinner is an important event in the British Judo Calendar, giving the association the opportunity to recognise and celebrate the club volunteers, coaches, referees, officials and athletes who have achieved so much throughout the last year.

The number of nominations received for the awards this year was higher than ever before which goes to show the outstanding dedication and commitment of the volunteers involved in the sport of judo in Great Britain. The awards recognise a select few who have made exceptional achievements this year, but our volunteers across the country contribute to making the sport a success in the UK, and to every one of them, we say thank you.
