I know next to nothing about judo i've realised. do all the throws use gi grips or are their under-hooks etc involved as well?

As a beginner you will learn the 'Judo grip' of sleeve and lapel.

There are many forms of grips and different grips can be used for different throws. However, as a beginner you should be working from sleeve and lapel and no other type of grip.

They do classes in Luton at weekends I believe, it all depends how much you want to do it.

The Civil Service Sports and Recreation Club will close on 27 May so they will move elsewhere in Westminster in the very near future.

It's the knock-on effects of Govt Cuts and affects more than just Govt Depts. Pity, it's a great facility.
