The Club was started in 1996 in the brand new Community Centre in Great Notley Garden Village. From humble beginnings the Club has grown from strength to strength and now boasts a membership of 48. The Club possesses four mats and these are all used for our regular Club sessions on Monday and Thursday afternoons throughout the year. From early on the Club was involved in home and away friendly matches with teams from surrounding villages and these introduced an element of competition. All members are encouraged to take part in these matches which are always played in an enjoyable atmosphere. Our home games are played on the second Thursday of the month in the evenings. We look upon ourselves as a very friendly club and welcome new members of whatever abilities. Club members will always be on hand to give advice and assistance to beginners.

In the meantime, keep well and keep socially distancing!
