STEVE ALLEN
Steve is Sue's right hand man. Despite the fact that he didn't start practicing judo until he was 40 his enthusiasm took him quickly to the rank of 1st dan. He likes angling and regularly cycles for charity, as far away as China!
Easily recognisable, he's the big guy with the permanent smile!
WENDY ALLEN
Wendy has been the Secretary of Manor since it's beginning. Initially, as well as ensuring the smooth running of the club, she was also a student who currently holds the rank of Blue belt. Although she no longer practices judo her enthusiasm can still be heard echoing around the Dojo! It was Wendy's father, who gave so much to the club and that now gives his name to our coveted GEORGE SHARP MEMORIAL TROPHY. Steve and Wendy have two sons, Brett and Bradley who are both accomplished judoka at the club.
