Sensei Gord would like to thank all Club members, assistant instructors, and parents for their support throughout the 2012-13 season! We will have a tremendous Club base upon entering our 46th season in September. As always, keep an eye out for friends, neighbours, family members who may be interested in joining our Club as new white belts, or returning colour belts. Judo is a ‘Way of Life’ – do not be left behind!
