Following the need to relocate the NHC Area judo mat, comprising 450 1 x 1 metre mats, the NHC Committee are looking at several options, one of which is an alternative suitable venue capable of hosting large scale judo events.
The venue, ideally a leisure centre, must be accessible i.e. good public transport links and be able to provide facilities to support a BJA Level 4 competition, including car parking, seating, cafeteria and a large sports hall at least 35m x 60m. It must also be able to provide a storage space for the mat, which needs 17 cubic metres.
If you are aware of any venues either in your location or the NHC region covering Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex and Oxfordshire, please contact Dave Clark by email: nhcChair20@gmail.com or phone 07802 984109.
If a suitable venue cannot be found it may that it is no longer possible to retain a set of area mats.
