Judo lessons in the White Hut from 'big Joe Metcalfe'

Posted by Norman Dunn on 22/7/2025, 3:57 pm

This photo is from when I had Judo lessons at the White Hut on Crawley Ave. We were taught by Joe Metcalfe & his friend Tony.
We were just learning then and had a visit from lads that already had yellow belts (2nd belt) and one of them was Bernard Hannah. He was good and 'hoyed me all over

Board regular Colin Thompson is on the photo and I wonder if he has a better copy of this pic with 3 names missing?
