About the Business
The Pinewood Judo Club was started in the year 1952 and operated in the canteens of various companies in the Bracknell area. It was then known as The Bracknell Judo Club and it moved to The Scout Hut where Roy Robertson was the guiding coach. Leslie Scovell taught the juniors and in 1958 Don Werner started to help her. Gradually Don increased his time on the twelve by twenty four foot Tatami and began teaching the seniors beginners. In 1977 an opportunity arose to buy an ex army sergeants mess building.
Every club is totally self-contained; on land they lease from the Parish. The scouts used the site for camping etc. However the Judo Club was again the first club to open. After much heart searching and consideration the Bracknell Judo Club became "The Pinewood Judo Club". The aim of the club is to teach children from four years of age upward competitive judo.
