CONGRATULATIONS to the two girls for achieving their black belts at the judo club last week.

In your paper it stated that they are the first girls ever in the history of the club to achieve this.

To put the record straight, in 1984 Annette Giles, a Devizes girl, was the first girl in the club then to achieve her black belt when she trained with the karate section. She passed before a leading Japanese examiner.

The club awarded her the cup for that year and made her a life member.
