Rolampont, France – The Judo Taïso RC52 recently held its annual general assembly at the Auberge des Marronniers on March 28th, signaling a year of stability and continued growth for the club. The meeting, described as a moment of “continuity and conviviality,” followed a transitional period for the organization after Ida Duclos stepped down as president in June 2025.
Current president Anaïs Masson highlighted the club’s health, noting consistent membership numbers. The Judo Taïso RC52 boasted 65 licensed members last season and currently stands at over 60. Masson also acknowledged the contributions of her predecessor, praising Duclos’ “commitment and all the operate accomplished.” The club utilizes the communal dojo for training, now in its second year, providing adequate facilities despite occasional space constraints due to high attendance.
A Year of Events and Championship Inspiration
The past year was marked by a series of successful events for the Judo Taïso RC52. Members participated in local Bastille Day celebrations, hosted a jujitsu training stage in June, and organized a club festival that featured a special guest appearance by French judo champion Audrey Tcheuméo. Tcheuméo’s visit reportedly had a significant impact on the young judokas in attendance.
Financially, the club is on solid footing. Treasurer Murielle Colas presented a positive financial report, showing a surplus of nearly 1,000€. Despite a decrease in funding from the department and the FDVA, the Judo Taïso RC52 maintained its financial balance through membership fees, donations, and fundraising activities, including operating a refreshment stand during the July 14th festivities. Expenses were primarily allocated to travel, event organization, and supporting club members.
Professor Thierry Masson provided an encouraging assessment of the club’s athletic performance. Young athletes achieved success at departmental, regional, and even national competitions, securing multiple podium finishes. Masson emphasized the educational values inherent in judo, encouraging continued dedication from all participants.
Looking Ahead: Expansion and a Milestone Anniversary
The Judo Taïso RC52 has ambitious plans for the future. The club intends to continue hosting its popular events and is exploring the possibility of adding an adult training session to its schedule. Perhaps most significantly, the organization is already beginning preparations for its 40th anniversary in 2027. The general assembly concluded with a dinner attended by 27 members, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.
The Judo Taïso RC52’s continued success demonstrates the enduring appeal of judo and the importance of strong community involvement.
