FJAS Christmas Party for 2022 was held at the Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk on December 12 (Mon.).
As in the previous year, as a measure to prevent the transmission of the new coronavirus, the party was limited to members and their accompanying persons and was held in a seated style.

A total of 55 people attended this year, including Consul Sharon Bignell of the Australian Consulate in Osaka.

The party started with a speech by our Chairman Michiaki Uryu. He spoke about the Memorandum of Understanding recently concluded
between Fukuoka Prefecture and the New South Wales Rugby Union , as well as the delegation sent by the Society to Australia.
Consul Bignell also spoke about the friendship between Australia and Japan, and proposed a toast.

As in previous years, we prepared Australian-inspired food and wine. Guests enjoyed meals while watching a slide show introducing the year-long activities of the Fukuoka Japan-Australia Society and listening to a Christmas song performed by the Kyuden Brass Band, which had not performed at the event since 2019.
