The Club has held its first Annual awards evening since 2019 due of course to the Lockdown restrictions.

The main purpose of the evening of course is to recognise the achievments of some of its members, both Junior and Senior in representing, and supporting DJC, and in this years case, going back to pre-Pandemic times.

Pete also took the opportunity to confirm what he has been communicating to members for the past year, that is the intention for his wife Chris, and himself, to step back from the day to day running of the Club, that's Chris full retirement, and Pete partial. The numerous circumstances surrounding this decision are various, but have been well documented by Pete elsewhere, but he was able to confirm the Club's new Management structure, and depending on the future of the Dojo, is confident for the future of DJC.
