Our last meeting of the year will be the all important AGM. In this meeting, we'll give a report on our activities throughout the year, including expenditure and goals for the society moving forward. Most importantly, we'll hold elections to elect new members to the committee. Current committee members can hold their position if desired (for up to 2 years in the same office), but must attend the AGM to do so. Christopher Golden will be stepping down as Chairperson, so the position of Chairperson is open.

The Japanese Society will be holding a nomikai event on Saturday April 13th! The Japanese word "nomikai" literally means "drink-meet". In Japan, nomikai is a quintessential part of adult working life, where you socialize with colleagues after work to foster a greater sense of community (and also to ease the burden of a hard-working day).
For this event, we'll be visiting our local Japanese restaurant, Miss Suzy, to experience some Japanese cuisine. Everyone is welcome - if you've never tried Japanese food before or don't know how to use chopsticks, don't worry, you're in good hands. The venue must be booked in advance, so please book your place here on the C&S website to secure your place at the event! Availability is limited to 13 people. If for some reason you become unable to attend, please cancel your booking here as early as possible, so we get notified that a place has become available for another person.As payment can only be split 4 ways per group, payment will be collected from everyone after you've placed your order in the restaurant. Please pay Chris, Chairperson by Revolut (@christrfhl), making sure to add your name in the reference line so we know who has paid. If you don't have Revolut, payment by cash will also be accepted.

Learn how to use chopsticks and practice to get your skills up. After practicing, we'll put your skills to the test by pitting you against each other in a race to see who can wield their chopsticks with the greatest speed. Special prizes will be awarded to 1st place and the runner ups.
If you've never used chopsticks before, this event will be a great opportunity to get familiar with them and have some light-hearted, competitive fun at the same time. Also, it will prepare you for our later restaurant trips to eat Japanese food.
