Membership - Licences 

We have had a fantastic response with people using the website to renew and apply for their licences. We have had an increased number of people phoning in saying they have not recieved their licence as well. We have had to return to posting them temporarily while we get the bugs fixed.  

All new applicants will be receiving them by post with their green book cover. The grey books need to be reprinted in sight of the new BJA Syllabus and are awaiting approval from the Development Commission. Once the books are approved and printed you will recieve this booklet by post.

Thank you for your patience. Any questions, please email Pam Golding, Office Manager at: pamwelshjudo@hotmail.co.uk . Or call the office: 07826 452 688.
