The Virden Lion’s Club has donated $1000 to the Southwest Judo Club in support of the on-going program to enable greater student participation and towards Athlete Travel.
Chief instructor and Club President Michael Bergman reports that a donation from Virden Lions Club has made the regular Judo program available to five students and supplied funding for five athletes to travel to competitions.
Bergman says registrations have continued to come in and the club has gained new students since the beginning of the New Year.
“We have had some students return to the mat after having taken some time off and seeing the articles about the Kagami-Biraki….
“Our travel team is off to a very good start to the Spring Competitive Season. “
