AJET Events Schedule, 2007
AROUND SAGA IN 80 DAYS!
From Katie:
I think it would be great to visit every place in Saga so that we really get
to know the area we live in. I want to plan trips to anywhere thats worth
visiting! Not many people get out to the cute little towns so if you live
somewhere that you think would be nice for an outing, a picnic or even a
house party (we all love those), let me know so we can organise something!!
So far I’ve come up with a few ideas but I need your help!
My ideas so far (most dates are to be confirmed):
August 25th: Karatsu Beach Party and Group C Welcome Party
August 26th: Saga Dragon Boat Racing
September: Tosu day; football game and dinner/drinks afterwards??
September: Kashima day; Kashima shrine
September: Karatsu day; Karatsu castle, burgers
October: Saga bowling competition; get into teams (perhaps from each
district i.e. Sajo, Sanshin etc) and see who wins!!
October: Imari day; pottery, karaoke
October 13-14th: Kagoshima Dragon Boat Racing
October: Halloween Party!! Could go to Fukuoka or does anyone want to offer
their apartment for a house party??
November 1st-4th: Saga Balloon Festival
November: Karatsu Kunchi
November: Sumo in Fukuoka
