THE Mayor of Worcester, Councillor Allah Ditta, looks to be heading for a fall as he grapples with Manuel Minkwitz at the Guildhall.

Herr Minkwitz is a member of a judo club from Kleve, Worcester's German town, who are visiting the city.

Kleverland Judo Club started the visit yesterday with a reception at the Guildhall, hosted by the Mayor.

This was followed by a tour around the Worcester Porcelain factory and Worcester Cathedral before an evening practice session at Worcester Judo Club.

Today they were due to take part in a judo competition against Worcester Judo Club, at the dojo above the bingo hall in Foregate Street.

Club members are due to fly home tomorrow.
