Guildford JC & Surrey Police JC There have been several issues that recently have arisen at Guildford Judo Club which have placed them in jeopardy of folding after 38 years. Should this happen, no judo would be available in the area for juniors and as a County we would lose a permanent dojo. Personally, I feel very strongly that a long standing club such as Guildford should be given every opportunity to continue. After some discussions, agreement has been reached that the Surrey Police JC will move training venues to be based at the Guildford JC site. This will take place from the 1st April 2004. The SPJC will continue to train under its own name and on a Wednesday evening, just from a different site. The benefits that result from this move are more coaching staff and resources available to support both clubs junior judo opportunities for the SPJC a second senior session for Guildford JC retaining a permanent dojo within the County ensuring judo remains in the Guildford area for all levels prevents Guildford JC from folding Andy Grand
