Success at the Second Free Referee, Judge and Table Recorder Course of the year
The second free JKS England Referee, Judge and Table Recorder Course was held at Walsall Karate Dojo on Saturday 26th April 2014. The course followed on from the first one in February with the objective of developing a team of highly qualified and experienced
tournament officials within our organisation. Once again the course was superbly led by Geoff Dixon Sensei.
Unlike the first course of the year, which was more theoretical, this one saw participants in a more practical environment with most of the time spent on the tatami.
The course also culminated in some participants taking JKS England exams both theoretical and practical. Congratulations to the following:
Catherine Bamford - Table Recorder Qualified
Lorrraine Collins - Table Recorded Qualified
Kevin Christopher - Judge Qualified
Ian Shaw - Judge Qualified
Ian Gallagher - Judge Qualifed
Mick Beardsworth - Judge Qualified
Matt Beard - Judge Qualified
Jim Bamford - Referee Theoretical Exam Passed
Darren Rushton - Referee Theoretical Exam Passed
Mark Scott - Referee Qualified

The next event is scheduled to take place in October 2014 before the JKS England National Championships. It is open to all JKS members who meet the eligibility criteria. Details will be published on the website in due course.
