Kagamibiraki 2008

Again successful, thanks a lot to you all. Of course, there have been as usual a few negative points (too many people, not enough space, risk to get your head hit by your neighbour's stick) but nevertheless, there is by far a greater number of positive points. A warm-hearted atmosphere, excellent food (thanks to Claude Duverney), and information we have not only received, but also distributed. A "cool" General Assembly. No sick, no injured and a sound financial situation with a benefit of more than 1000 Euro for the EJF. This is mainly due to the voluntary job of the teachers and to the excellent organization by Jean-Pierre Pahud who was assisted by Georges Kraus and some more Jodoka from Geneva; they have all done a fantastic job. This benefit will certainly help us for the Summer Camp where it might be possible that we will have quite a lot of expenditures.

Please do not forget to read the minutes of our General Assembly 2008. I will be pleased to see you again either this summer or in January 2009. I wish you a nice and successful new year 2008 and hope you will experience some fantastic moments.
