February 2025 – East Midlands Amateur Judo Association Bids Farewell to Long-Standing Committee Members

The East Midlands Amateur Judo Association extends its heartfelt gratitude to two long-serving committee members who have decided to retire from their positions this year. Helen Blower, who served as Treasurer, and Dave Norman, the Senior Area Timekeeper and Recorder.

Both dedicated many years to their roles, contributing significantly to the growth and smooth operation of the association. Their commitment and hard work have played a crucial part in shaping the East Midlands judo scene into what it is today.

Although they are stepping down from their official committee positions, the community will still have the pleasure of seeing them at their respective clubs and at various area events in the future. Their continued presence and support will undoubtedly be appreciated by all.

As a token of appreciation for their outstanding service, both Helen and Dave were presented with engraved glass plaques, recognizing their dedication and invaluable contributions.

The East Midlands Amateur Judo Association thanks them for their years of service and wishes them all the best in their well-earned retirement from committee duties.
