Danny Williams
On behalf of the Elite Judoka at Camberley Judo Club, especially Danny Williams (who is in the Rio qualification zone) and Frazer Chamberlain (who met the World selection 'consideration' criteria), CJC would like to say a big thank you to everyone for the passionate support we have seen online over the last few days!
Rather than wasting their energy getting involved in the politics of selections they are keeping their heads down and doing what they always do, training as hard as physically possible and remaining focussed on the end goal.
Camberley Judo Club will continue to support them, and others, on their journey to Olympic qualification.
To keep the CJC team pushing for Olympic qualification we need as much help as possible, if you can make a small donation by following the link below it would be very much appreciated by all at CJC. Thank you to all that have already supported!
If you have any fundraising ideas or would like to book them for a Master class, please comment here or email info@camberleyjudo.co.uk

Barber Barber UK - Barton Arcade Manchester
Martin Daubney prepares for the opening of Leica Store Manchester, and brought out a very sincere and moving interview with Kim Phuc and Nick Ut - The 'Napalm Girl' and the Associated Press photographer who took the famous image. (my pictures were also there but seemed trivial by comparison).
