Message from Ian Parker
Hi Martin.
I'm glad the weekend was a success and I'm sorry I couldn't make it.
With the refereeing, I think we are in a bit of a vicious circle. I know referees that say they don't mind refereeing but don't want to do it all day, especially if they are also competing. But unless all referees offer their services, we will all end up on the mat all day.
I think the days have passed of 3 referees per mat. In holland, they have a better situation with refs than us but what was interesting was they had enough referees to put 3 on each mat, however they used only 2 and rotated regularly. 1 main referee and one sitting next to timekeepers table. They did not overrule any scores, he was just an extra pair of eyes who the referee could confer with, eg before awarding a penalty.
I think we have to use the new rules. They are the rules of judo whether we agree or disagree and I think we would alienate ourselves if we didn't.
Also, 3 times in this year I have entered a team into BJC tournaments, every one has been cancelled due to 'lack of interest'.
As for holland, the tournament was very well run with 340 competitors over 5 mat areas. Everyone gets sent their entry card before the day with your weigh in time and fighting time. 2 weight groups on each mat start all at same time, finish roughly the same time then a medal presentation for all 10 groups. Therefore you can turn up, weigh in, fight, and get medal all within 2 hours. No sitting around waiting all day. Makes a big difference in my opinion.
The standard of judo, especially juniors was high. The seniors was not the best turnout. Groups of 6 where juniors had up to 20.
Ian Parker, gold. Cyeanne eaton, bronze. James Passmore and Elizabeth dathan no medal.

More on Club Mark
More on Club Mark
I think by now you will know my feelings on Club Mark especially where the British Judo Association are concerned 3 years and still not completed and you will have read about the Scots attitude to it. Well it seems Kent County Council also do Club Mark for those recognised sports who’s governing body are not participating in the club Mark scheme, why all sports do not have the chance to participate in this scheme is beyond me but that is another question. Our Warriors Grappling Academy are applying for a Sambo Club Mark and what a difference this makes to our Judo Club Mark, KCC sent a booklet telling us exactly what courses our members have to take and then list dates and venues for these courses all in Kent, not like the Judo alternative some being in Sheffield. Plus we are dealing with people who know us and they have a dedicated team which doesn’t change every year, most of what needs to be done has already been proved with the Judo Club Mark all the same people are involved in Sambo so hopefully it will take months not years. It seems some what ridiculous that the same people have to jump through the hoops twice, in Scotland we would have amalgamated the two clubs to get the one club mark, in England double the time double the money. Just proves what I have been saying take the Club Mark away from the National Bodies and bring it down to local level well done Kent County Council
Maybe some one could tell Faversham MP and Sports Minister Hugh Robertson, that’s if he has time to listen to local people with local knowledge

Still awaiting Club Mark after 3 years
Follow this link and see what they do in Scotland with regards to Club Mark http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=71&p=0
You will see that it allows local councils to give accreditation for Sport by passing the Governing Body this is a far more sensible approach to Club Mark and more importantly it allows every club to be able obtain some form of accreditation, the other advantage is that the scheme will be considerably cheaper. The Sittingbourne Judo Society has taken nearly 3 years to obtain Club Mark from the BJA, the Warriors Grappling Academy are applying for a Club Mark through the Kent County Council we will see how long they take

Question in Parliament on ClubMark
Most of you will know my concern reagrding ClubMark my MP Gordon Henderson asked a question the House for which I am very lucky to have an MP who is prepared to help
Gordon Henderson (Sittingbourne and Sheppey, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport
(1) what steps he is taking to ensure that sports clubs that choose not to apply for Clubmark status receive fair and equal treatment from local authorities and other providers of sports facilities;
(2) what role Knight, Kavanagh and Page has in the operation of the Clubmark scheme; and how much Knight, Kavanagh and Page has been paid by his Department for discharging that role in the last 12 months;
(3) what the cost of administering the Clubmark scheme was in the last 12 months for which figures are available.
Hansard source (Citation: HC Deb, 14 September 2010, c951W)
Hugh Robertson (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport; Faversham and Mid Kent, Conservative)
It is at the discretion of local authorities and local sports providers to determine the level of support they offer to local sports clubs. We are keen to help ensure quality of sporting provision across the board, and in many cases Clubmark, or its equivalent, helps deliver this.
Many local authorities have chosen to adopt the scheme because Clubmark accreditation recognises a club's commitment to providing a safe quality environment for young people.
Sport England invests £174,000 per annum into the Clubmark scheme directly through Knight, Kavanagh and Page who manage and administer the whole programme on their behalf.
Can not say I am over enthusiastic on Hugh Robertson MP reply especially as he is the MP for our neighbouring Constituency which is part of Swale B C One would have thought he would discussed his feeling with me direct as someone who lives in his Borough Council and was an ex councillor?.
The discretion is on local Councils this being the case I hope they instruct the local Schools Sports Officer to stop telling people not to go to Non ClubMark Clubs
Our Young Judo Club has been providing a safe quality environment for young people since 1957 when we were established and to suggest we do not is an insult to everyone who has been involved in the club If Hugh Robertson MP had spent more time looking round his Borough he would know that
£174,000 on Consultants to promote ClubMark which 80% of the Countries Sports Club are not involved in?
I believe Club Mark has been going for 8 years if this is the case that would have cost the Tax Payer £1,392,000 under Labour that is no surprise but under this Government that promises savings it beggars belief
Next time your Council Sports facilities increase ask them to get out of the ClubMark fund

Response to BJA membership numbers
I recently published a report from the British Judo Association claiming their membership has increased, I have had a deluge of emails rejecting this report and most are from BJA members, the main thrust is as follows
1) if membership is on the increase why are competitions and courses being cancelled on a regular basis due to lack of numbers/
2) Everyone know at least 6 clubs that have closed in the last 12 months
3) rules are putting people of Judo ( I can not see this the rules may stop them entering competitions but they will not people joining)
4) Schools Judo Programme has had a negative effect on club numbers
These were the main items some blame individual in the BJA, some blamed the Recession, some blamed the money being spent on Olympic potentials, some say not enough money is not spent on grass roots some say the ClubMark is a disincentive (that one I do agree with)
I can understand the BJA boosting the their membership figures up with a bit of spin, remember cuts are coming and their grant will be top of the list. I expect there membership has risen for two reason 1) they now allow members from other organisations to join so people like me and many of my members hold a BJA License as well as an IBF one 2) there schools Judo programme where they allow a school child to buy a license for just £5 must make one hell of a difference, but these are not real Judoka 95% do not even join a club and by including them in the membership numbers gives a totally unbalanced view of who is regularly participating in Judo
The drop in standard of grading in the BJA over the past 10 years should have brought more members in but it hasn't what I think is a good idea is there no idea of Judosize an Aerobic fitness work out using Judo, maybe also they should try re invent Kata with no throwing for certain people like more Ju No Kata. I know at my club we have had countless people attempting JUDO but turn to MMA because they do not like throwing, What about gradings in NeWaza? we need to attract the softer element society back into Judo which I am afraid to say is the great majority.
In march 2011 I will be running a Junior Judo Tournament on a points basis and allow all the trows the IJF have outlawed you will get a 1pt, 2pt, 4pt throw and Ippon throw is where you throw some one on their back and remain standing, Hold down 10 secs 2pt 20 secs 4pts maximum 4 pts on the ground no Ippon for hold down. Winner is someone who scores Ippon or gets a 12pt margin or reaches time and has the most points. Any Coloured gi can be worn and each child is guaranteed two fights
That my idea mind you I may suggest to the IBF Judo committee a grading syllabus for Ne Waza

BJA'S RECORD MEMBERSHIP FIGURES
By BJA
THE Olympic sport of judo is on the rise with the British Judo Association announcing record membership figures this week.
The figures published by the British Judo Association, for the year September 2009 to September 2010, illustrate an increase in both junior and +16 years judo participants in England.
As the National Governing Body for the sport in Britain, the Association has achieved a significant increase in junior membership with 47.5% clubs increasing their youngest ranks.
Overall junior membership has grown nearly 10% rising from 15,325 to 16,561 in the last 12 months.
There has also been a noted increase in participants aged over 16 years, with the number of members in England in this age group rising by 9.2%.
42.5% of British Judo’s clubs have increased their +16 members through a number of initiatives made possible thanks to the Association’s Sport England Whole Sport Plan.
The Association hopes to further build those exposed to the sport in this age group through the recently introduced Judo Fit, a new fitness class to music which can be performed by people all ages and fitness levels. The initiative aims to encourage a wider audience into the sport.
The new class will see the Olympic sport’s free-flowing patterns and movements will be performed to music as part of a high-energy cardiovascular workout.
Additionally, clubs have been supported through personalised marketing resources and a regional news service that have enabled them to promote themselves in their local communities.
The figures released come a month after a Government study, published by the Department for Education, revealed that judo is now being offered at 13 percent of schools, compared to 8 percent in 2003/04.
Schools currently host judo through the British Judo Association’s Enjoy Judo programme which sees British Judo coaches deliver tailored classes through breakfast clubs, curricular activity, lunch time and after school classes.
They also work in conjunction with British Judo’s School 2 Dojo programme which is supported by Sport England. The programme establishes strong ties between schools and a local judo club which provides an outlet for pupils, who have been equipped with the fundamentals, to practice the sport to a higher level. The programme has 600 schools linked with neighbouring judo clubs.
British Judo, which has adopted the motto of ‘judo for all’, has members ranging from five to 85 years of age.
The British Judo Association’s Chief Executive Officer, Scott McCarthy, said, “The indications are very positive that we are improving both the number of those entering the sport as well as our retention rates. We have built a system to support engagement and interactivity through our clubs as well as schools with the support of Sport England. We very much look forward to that system delivering improved growth figures for the foreseeable future.”
