Lynnette Slade (4th Dan) Receives JVI's greatest honour for a member

Life Membership

At the Annual General Meeting of Judo Victoria Lynnette was elevated to Life Membership.  This honour is only bestowed upon members who have given years of service to judo in Victoria and to judo in general.

Lynnette began her judo career in 1960 at the Caulfield judo club and with her husband, Malcolm, established Southern Judo in 1967.

She has worked tirelessly in various positions including JVI Registrar, JVI Assistant Secretary and competition organisation.  She has pioneered the application of computers to competition draw preparation and results.

We appreciate her nomination by Michael Picken, President of JVI (Mornington Judo Club) and seconded by Dominance Judo Club.

Lynnette joins John Dronryp and Malcolm Slade, the club's other JVI Life Members.
