Japan Day Manchester 21st October 2006

L-R  Jon Drake, Mike Hickman-Smith, Paul Henry, Dave Fuller, Chris Henry, Avril Smith looking like 'the Defendants' but seeming quite happy about it!

 

R-L Bob Morrison, Avril Smith, Chris Henry, Dave Fuller rally round the Hata Banner in anticipation of the public's arrival.

 

The central zone of our three tables was 'Armour world' :  the guy in the middle with the mon on his chest didn't say much but was probably the most photographed by members of the public.

 

Everything papered, including the Tokubetsu Hozon Kanabo Naginata, thank heavens for lockable cases.

 

The Lord Mayor of Manchester asked especially to be shown our display- he seems to like what he saw there.
Kevin - Chairman of the JSNW- on the other hand seems a little worn out after working hard to get the event opened!
