Bushido Judo Kwai Success.

A Bushido Judo Kwai, blast from the past.

 

This recently appeared on FB Wallsend Memories, it relates to the 6th British Judo Council Area Championship in North Shields in 1978.
The item has three Bushido Judo Kwai members on the photo Mick Clark, Brian Green and Lorraine Birmingham , but the script below is only relating to Bushido Judo Kwai members, which would suggest that either Linda or I put the item into the Shields Weekly News.
