New Windsor Hotel Tuesday from 6.30pm

2009-08-17T13:29:08Z

Hi.

It's the weekly Japanese Language Exchange group and English language

Firstly, I'll be there early, from about 6.30pm, to celebrate my
birthday with a few friends. You're welcome to buy a drink and join
the group at that time if you wish.

Congratulations Ken

2009-07-27T15:06:53Z

Welcome Ken, who has taken over from Big James as the new organiser of
the group.

The Japanese Language Exchange Group webpage has also been updated
with some pictures, and a brief history of the group, including a
picture of Ken so that you can recognise him!
