Local Ambassador

Erica Lea, chairman of the parents’ committee of Ferndown Jitsu Club was presented with the Jitsu Foundation’s Ambassador of the Year Award 2008.

The Mayor of Ferndown, Cllr Lesley Dedman, presented the award to Erica for her contribution and commitment to the Ferndown Jitsu Club and the Jitsu Foundation. 

The club is no stranger to the prestigious award, with John Hanrahan, the manager, scooping it in 2004 and 2007.

John said, "Winning the ambassador's award is such an honour as there is a lot of competition from all the other clubs in the UK.  We have now won it three times.  This shows the commitment towards our club."
