From Alumnis to the Members

Hito all JCG student members:

It’s going to be 2005 and for the pastyear, it had been a great time working with the committee, both main comm and subcomm (Arts and Entertainment, Cuisine, Anime and Manga).

It was a great success too to see all of JCG members taking part in our activities actively. From a small group of 20-30 to the current strength over 100students attending our recruitment drive in the past six months has been agreat encouragement to all of us in committees of Japanese Cultural Group.

For all the hard work and participation in 2004 - A big thank you.

On behalf of the Alumni helpers in JCG, I would like to wish JCG committees and student a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

We look forward to seeing you again in our future events in the coming 2005!!!

Reminder of Membership Cards

Hello all,

I know this has already been said to all of you. But this is again to stress the importance of carrying your membership card around during all JCG related events. It is your identification as a JCG Member so please bring it at all times if possible.

For those who are coming down this Saturday, please also remember to bring the membership card as we are going to have different people from different clubs. To avoid the confusion of identifying you as JCG member, please help us by bringing the card.

Some Prob to Clarify

To all JCG Members,

This is to inform you of a few things that we’ve come to notice. Please take note of this in future to avoid unnecessary complications and problems.

1. When signing up for events, not giving the requested information like FULL NAME etc.

The problem is if you do not give us the correct details, when we submit forms for SEAL points to the SEAL coordinator, he will see mistakes in the forms when he inputs the data. Then the correct information has to be found again and we may have to call you again. Let’s not give problems to the organizer and the SEAL coordinator.

2. Bringing you JCG Membership Card

This card is given to you for a purpose like your matric card. It is to identify you from others who join some of our activites. Another reminder, please bring your card at all JCG related events (better still, keep it in your wallet). We will be asking to see your JCG card before the event for identification.

3. Queries about Events to Rosemarie and Ben

Please put all your queries to either trowa_07@yahoo.co.uk or jcg_stuff@hotmail.com. Normally for all events, there would be a statement on where to email or contact. Thus, use the given information and please do not call/sms to either Ben or me about events that we are not organizing. If you have any worries about events that either of us are organizing, pls do not worry. We would find a way to contact you or appoint someone to help us contact if there are too many people to contact. This only applies if we could reach ur hp.

If you would prefer a more direct way, you are invited to join our mirc channel - jcg@galaxy.net where both of us are normally there each night, if not the other. If not, please check the mailing list or forum.

Although we love to answer any of your questions and knowing that both of our numbers may have already be well-known to JCG pple, please do not abuse them unnecessarily. Our hp bills are very high, answering to many people.

Announcement 2),

Appologies to those who had earlier wish to sign up for membership with us.
Due to our main comm.’s busy schedule for the holidays(work, projects etc.), the registration date has been pushed slightly further, when school reopens. That way it’ll be easier for you guys to come. We will try our best to prevent any further delays as we also wish to settle this matter quickly.

So wait for further announcements with regards to this matter, till then do take part actively in the forum
or the Mailing List. We appologize once again the any inconvenients.

Any further queries can be asked via the following methods:

Mailing List add.: tpjcg@yahoogroups.com
mIRC: #JCG at Galaxynet
forum: http://emerald.bbboy.net/jcg (please remember
to sign up for this)

That’s all for the announcements this time around.
Till next time, enjoy your holidays!
