The Lannemezan judo club has entered into partnerships with companies. An initiative that the leaders had in their boxes for several years.
On Friday evening, the Judojo of Lannemezan had organized, at its dojo in the Espace du Nébouzan, an evening in honor of its partners who are mobilizing to help the Lannemezan judo club. An evening postponed twice due to Covid but which was finally able to take place. And precisely, in his speech, Thierry Belin, the president, indicated that in this respect “to transform a difficulty into an opportunity” could be one of the slogans of the club. And to add: “because of, but also thanks to this pandemic, we have carried out this partnership, a project that we have had in our boxes for several years”.
“The difficulty, he said, was linked to the sanitary conditions of recent months, conditions which prompted us to establish a business partnership, because during this period the club suffered by losing in particular its practitioners. A partnership company that we have wanted for several years now. We can finally share this moment of conviviality, get to know each other, bind professional or more personal relationships, with the sporting values of judo as a backdrop. Today, the club does not count. less than 117 judokas and we can already say that after a year of transition the Judojo has resumed the normal course of its operation and is even on a good dynamic indicates the president.
And to add: “We also needed to forge these partnerships because beyond the health crisis, the management of a club is more and more demanding financially speaking with, in particular, distant trips to Toulouse, Mèze, or even in Ceyrat near Clermont-Ferrand, in Auvergne.
However, the priorities of the club are always the same: the training of referees and judges and teachers and competition. “Knowing indicates Thierry Belin that arbitration is the DNA of the club”.
Pauline Rey, regional referee
Like Pauline Rey, the young judoka who won the national cup for young referees, and who, as a result, was directly promoted to regional referee.
“Our ambition, for this next season which will restart in September, indicated the president, is to increase the number of our practitioners, particularly with regard to adult groups and the self-defense group led by Christian Jordan, national expert and 6th judo dan”.
After a demonstration given by Alex and Furian, in choreographed form, of the various judo techniques, the partners present explained the motivations that led them to enroll in this partnership action.
