The summer grading of the British Judo Society saw over 40 young people promoted to higher grades. The highest grade was awarded to Olivia Lewis who produced many very good competitive techniques to win her brown belt. She also showed the examiners that her technical ability was of an excellent standard by passing the theory examination which has 20 different throws and 25 groundwork techniques.
Senior coaches Peter Thatcher, Margaret Thatcher and Andy Knapp were extremely pleased with her results and the scores attained.
