Welcome to the ''Bulletin'                               Bulletins are now available as PDFs.

This is our on line / off line newsletter about Judo and the Kano Society - 

We aim to produce it at regular intervals - probably quarterly - and to publish content on line with hard copy for those who are not yet connected. Feel free to print off and distribute to colleagues and friends who you think may be interested.

The 'Bulletin' will later expand hopefully into a full magazine / Journal format - but this depends on you too ... we need members to help with the expenses and we need articles and contributions. This may be in the form of news, interesting bits and pieces, photographs or reminiscences and historical material.

We aim eventually to be able to collect an archive of Judo material which will be thus preserved for the future. The late Trevor Leggett had given permission to use his material as have other writers such as Richard Bowen. Syd Hoare is translating original material from the Japanese and has access to a quantity of Kano's writings which have not previously been available in English.

We are also aware that we are a Society with an International membership and hence we hope to produce material which will reflect this varied background.

I do hope you will enjoy the 'Bulletin' and make it your own. - 

The pages that follow are as near a representation of the paper version as I can get! - Most of the material is also on the site in other formats. Bulletins are now available as PDFs and we strongly suggest you view or download that version in preference to the webpages which give a much better representation of the originals.
