IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

After December, I (Joe) will step down as organiser for this group, and therefore we are looking for at least one more person to take on the role.
Yui will continue, unless we get two volunteers, in which case we will both hand over.
The role of organiser is easy! All you have to do is:
- Choose a time and place for meetings
- Update Facebook and the blog
You don't necessarily have to be at all of the meetings, but of course it's best to attend as many as you can.
If you are interested or have any questions, please speak to Yui or myself by e-mailing berkshire.japanese@gmail.com smile emoticon

August meeting

Hello everyone!

Because August is busy with people on holiday we're only having one meeting this month, at Great Expectations (33 London St, RG1 4PS) on Wednesday the 12th of August at 19:30.

We are open to anybody, whether Japanese or not, whether or not you speak Japanese, and for whatever reason you are interested in Japan. If it is your first time, we'd love to meet you :)

We usually sit in the area with the bookshelves on the left of the entrance.

See you there!

July meeting part 2 - evening drinks!

Our next meeting will be Wednesday the 22nd of July at 7:30, at The Great Expectations in Reading.

Note this is WEDNESDAY! Not our usual Thursday slot!

We've decided to try a different day, due to the noise of the Thursday pub quiz!

All are welcome, regardless of nationality or how well you speak Japanese! We'd love to meet you!

Notice RE: July events:

EVENING DRINKS: Sorry we haven't set a date for the evening drinks yet - this is due to Yui being away and me being in Japan for work at a date which hasn't been decided yet! I should hopefully know tomorrow, so we will aim to confirm the next meeting soon smile emoticon

HYPER JAPAN: Partially for the same reason, but also due to lack of interest, we've cancelled Hyper Japan as a Berkshire Japanese Society event, but of course the actual event is still happening, so feel free to go along anyway if you already had plans to do so!
