REVIEW OF ACTIVITES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
COVID‐19 Pandemic
2020 was a very challenging year as a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic, which had a profound impact on the lives of everyone and had long‐term and ongoing effects on participation in sport. Indoor, contact activities such as Judo were among the sports for which imposed restrictions were most extensive and
long‐lasting. Medway Park Judo Club were unable to offer any Judo sessions at all between 16[th] March 2020 and 6[th] September 2020, inclusive. Government and NGB restrictions allowed for limited provision (socially distanced non‐contact solo exercise for groups of up to 15) between 7[th] September 2020 and 4[th] November 2020, inclusive, and we were able to offer two junior and one senior session per week on a pre‐booked basis, but there was limited uptake from members. Sessions were briefly resumed for juniors only (two sessions per week) from 7[th] December 2020 until the Christmas closure after 17[th] December 2020.
Membership and Fees
Judo coaching is delivered regularly six days per week (Mon‐Sat) through ten classes meeting the needs of various age groups and abilities. Our provision was limited by the COVID‐19 pandemic (see above). The total Club Membership number at the end of the period covered by this report could not reliably be estimated as the impact of the COVID‐19‐imposed closures and restrictions on participation were uncertain.
Our fees remain as below:
Member Session Fee: £2.00
Non‐Member Session Fee: £2.50
Annual Junior Membership Fee: £15.00
Annual Senior Membership Fee: £28.00
Annual Family Membership Fee: £40.00
NB ‐ There has been no increase to our membership or session fees since 2008.
