Deanburn Judo Club, based on the first floor of the Community Education Unit, Abbots Road, Grangemouth, now runs two classes for youngsters and teenagers on Monday evenings, but from Friday, November 26, it will be opening its doors to adult students – no experience necessary – between 7pm and 8pm.

The club is run by Commonwealth Games and GB judo star Jayne Clason, who recently returned to competitive action, capturing a silver medal, while her student Ruiraidh Porteous secured bronze, last weekend at the British Judo Council open championships in Kettering.
