Already the Auckland Judo Association has the following events programmed for this year:
- 15 March - Level 1 Instructors Course - A development course to train Assistant Club Instructors. Currently we have half a dozen people keen to do the course.
- 20-21 June - Auckland International Open - This is Auckland's premiere Judo competition and attracts fighters from Australia and across the Pacific. Anyone keen to volunteer to help out should give us a yell as they are keen to find volunteers.
- 16 August - Howick Academy of Judo Competition - This is a nice 'entry level' competition for all ages from kids to masters.
- 5 - 6 September - North Island Championships - Another strong competition that we are lucky is in Auckland this year. Anyone keen to volunteer to help out should give us a yell as they are keen to find volunteers.
- 5 December - Rick Littlewood Open - A Masters tournament - Fun to watch.
- 6 December - Nippon Judo School Competition - This is another nice 'entry level' competition for all ages from kids to masters.
As well as these activities there are two other clubs looking at staging local competitions.
All in all it looks like a good little year of Judo.
