| CHIBA-KENの現状取り組み | 2005.8.30房惑/田島さんより |
①大会事務局へ申し込み済みです。ただし事務局からはまだ連絡がありません。 ②９月に房惑ホームページで参加者を募集します。SanDiegoは男１６名、女１０名でした。出来れば奥様同伴が楽しいと思います。 ③費用は１人２０万円の予算です。そのため旅行会社を通しません。全てを自分たちの手でやります。エントリー代金、宿泊代金、航空運賃、相手チームへの土産代など。私は５００円玉貯金を実施してます。おつりは５００円玉で貰うように。 ④正式にマネージャーは決定してません。私が行けると確約できれば、受けるつもりなのですが。暫定的に私がやります。 ⑤熊惑の皆さんのご意向、CHIBA-KEN（房惑とは一応別組織）メンバーに伝えます。私の友人・惑染（広島）の清水さん夫妻も常連になりました。Wellingtonは大人気です。大勢で参加しましょう。 ⑥今後何かありましたら、その都度メールします。遠慮せず私へも。既に「気持ちは Wellington」 です。 ⑦最後にSanDiegoで対戦したBattlers（NZ）のMikeからのメールも 添付します。益々Wellingtonが近く感じられるでしょう。 --------------------------------------------------------- Kenji San
Thank you for your email, It is good to
hear from you.
I have only just picked it up, as I have
been away in Tonga doing a study on seaweed
" Tongan Mozuku " which is being exported
to Japan.
You must be very fit to be able to play
more than 3 games in San Diego, especially with your team CHIBA - KEN having not
to many spare reserve players. I can understand you being
tired.
When in San Diego I tore a ligament in my
left sholder during the first game, I was not playing very well afterwards
especially when I played for your team as I was in some
pain.
I will have a operation to mend my sholder
in a months time, this will fix the damage.
My trip to San Diego was my first Golden
Oldies tournament as I only started playing late last year. I had played Rugby
at top level until I was 30 years old, that was 20 years
ago.
I very much enjoyed playing at Golden
Oldies level as it is very friendly and not to serious.
It was an honour to be allowed to play for
CHIBA - KEN, I hope I was of some use for your team. You may allow me to play
for CHIBA - KEN in Wellington.
On the San Diego tournament, I felt that
having all the games at one place was very good as it gave everyone the
oportunity to see other games and help other teams if necessary. they were lucky
to have such good facitilities and such good weather.
The transport arrangements from hotel to
field and other venues was poor and could have been done
better.
The opening ceremony should have started on
time as the delay was unnecessary and could have been
avoided.
The final dinner on the SS Midway was a
great venue, lucky the weather was good that night.
However in commenting on the above, I do
not have any past experience on other touraments.
Wellington will be different, I lived there
for 10 years, the place is a lot smaller than San Diego, the games will be
played at different venues. I also understand from the organisers there will be
a club approach to the 2006 tournament as there is very few venues that can
accomodate the expected 5000 people.
The city itself is very central, and would
expect that the social side of the tournament to be very central as
well.
Wellington is over 12 months away, your
circumstances may have changed by then.
If you do decide to come, spend some time afterwards and visit other parts
of New Zealand, which I am happy to help and show you, If you like the
outdoors, I can take you fishing our shooting etc.
Joyce my wife says hello and passes on her
best wishes.
All the best
Regards
Michael Chin
