Honorary honour

What can I say - I'm impressed!

Story:
After almost 40 years of training in the martial art, Ted Cook has been made an honorary member of Boston Judo Club.

The 67-year-old coach joined the club in 1968, having never participated in sports before, and was promoted to the rank of senior brown belt in 1972.

He undertakes a number of roles at the club, from helping to inspire other competitors to laying out the mats. He also works to keep up the links between the Boston club and Laval Judo Club in our French twin town.

"Judo is the best thing I have ever done," said Ted.
