1. The first bits.
(a) Welcome:
From today I will be taking over from Euan as Admissions Coordinator. We all wish Euan well with his studies in Tokyo and hope that he comes back to Okazaki at the first available opportunity. If not then I'm sure we'll all be able to carry on fine. Euan was kind enough to grant me some of his precious time for a interview which gives an insight into the mind of a genius :-)
As a result of my studies at Yamasa during the past 18 months I've come to know Yamasa well. Along with many of the students, I've a good rapport with a number of teachers who have taught me during my time here. Don't expect any great changes in the set-up of the newsletter, though the style may be a little different to what you are used to. I would welcome any suggestions you have for the newsletter regarding content, articles and so on. If there's something you would like me to write an article about then let me know!
