Conversation Evenings
One of Angela's regular Japanese conversation evenings held every alternate month at Etsu Japanese Restaurant in Liverpool.
The conversation evening in June was the biggest turnout since restrictions were lifted and everyone spoke some Japanese most of the time. It was great to have Japanese friends there too as they encourage everyone to speak as well. The food, as usual, was excellent, and it was a really enjoyable evening.
In December 2022, our conversation evening took the form of a year end party (Bōnen-kai).
2019 Guiding Course with Brilliant Liverpool Tours
Angela has just completed a very detailed course about Liverpool, its history and of course all about the Beatles.
The course was organised by Brilliant Liverpool Tours and Angela is now a professional guide and part of the international team which also includes Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Chinese speakers.
2017 Award for promoting the teaching of English in schools
In March 2017 Angela went to Naoshima where she was presented with an award for her services to promoting the teaching of English in the schools there over the last 15 years.
A formal ceremony was held in the Council Chamber of the Town Hall with the Mayor and Director of the Board of Education as well as most of the Council members.
The visit to Kagawa, for which Angela has been Ambassador since 2005, also marked the 30th anniversary of her time there as the first CIR (Coordinator for International Relations) on the JET Programme in 1987. Because of that she made a visit to meet with Governor Hamada and just before she left Japan, was told that she would be receiving an award from the Governor as part of his Constitution Day ‘honours list’. The formal ceremony took place on May 9th at the Kenmin Hall. The award was for her continued contribution to furthering international exchanges in all spheres of culture and education, between the UK and Kagawa Prefecture since 1988.
