British Judo Council (MAC) National Judo Championship 1976.

This pool sheet was sent to me recently, it comes from The British Judo Council (MAC) National Judo Championships held at Alexandria Palace, London, on the 16th October 1976, it was an all Bushido Judo Kwai final, between two first dans Chris Dawson and Bob Paterson, who were both founder members of Wallsend's Bushido Judo Kwai in the May of that year.
I took the gold on this occasion but exactly one week later, at a championship held in the North East of England, Bob and i found ourselves against each other again in yet another final, this time he took the gold and i the silver.
