As always, I would ask for your comments and thoughts on the magazine so that I can continue to include articles and photos which are of special interest to you. Speaking of photos… as you know the vast majority of the images that appear in this publication are captured by yours truly and yet you may not realise that they represent only a tiny fraction of the pictures I have taken. I like to think that TWOJ promotes all aspects of our sport and offers a showcase not only for our fighters (both young and old), our coaches and officials, but also for the businesses and traders who support judo in so many different ways. In the process it occurs to me that I should actually take the opportunity to sell my own wares! So at the risk of this becoming a bit me, me, me, you'll see I have popped in a Bob-Willingham-photographer-commercial. There has to be some advantage to being editor!!
