Peter Simpson was the central figure in the running of Knottingley Judo Club and a long serving member on the West Yorkshire committee involved in organising gradings, competitions and running the West Yorkshire Squads.
He was also a long serving member of the Y & H committee at one time helping to running the Area squad but mainly organising and working to promote Area competition events.
Peter was lost to the Area under tragic circumstances.
