I accompanied Asca and her "Cheerleader" / Counsellor, David Briggs to the Rugby Saturday Breakfast Club on what could certainly be described as a bright and sunny morning. The meeting itself was wonderfully casual and relaxed, with a popular thread of conversation during the meal being the temperature of the baked beans! Asca did comment during her talk that it actually felt like a family breakfast on a Saturday morning, which summed up the atmosphere nicely.
As always, Asca...

A very warm reception was waiting for Ambassadorial Scholar Asca Tsushima and her support team - myself and the two Rotarians who she referred to as her "cheerleaders" or her "English Dad's" - David Briggs and Colin Harris from the Nuneaton Rotary Club. Still, Asca referred to me as a "very very very very young Rotarian", which has to be 4 "verys" too many!
The idea of a speaker's host is a nice tradition and a role played very well by Len Leibling at...

Navigating during rush hour always make trying to get to a twilight meeting a bit of a challenge, but we just about made it to Drayton Manor Park in time to setup before the Tamworth Rotary meeting kicked off.

The general election was still in full swing as the Coventry Breakfast Rotary meeting began on the 7th May and those present had either had very little sleep, or had given up watching the election coverage at an early stage. Those that did make it were in for a treat though as Asca gave another of her excellent talks. Asca is constantly tweaking, changing and improving her presentation, which makes it a delight to watch. The audience participation was at the usual level, both with the...

Asca was certainly on form tonight and so were the members and guests at the meeting of the Arbury Rotary Club. Asca gave a wonderful presentation - now updated to feature a spring theme. She used her aptitude for involving the audience in her talk and the audience reflected this back when the talk was complete. She fielded some very diverse questions including personal ones about her history with learning English, thru broadband in Japan to the usual controversial question from Clive - this...

A wonderful evening was had by all at the Kinver Rotary Club. The meeting was brought forward by 30 minutes to accommodate two sets of 'entertainment' for the large attendance that had assembled at the Fox Inn.
First came Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar Asca Tsushima. Asca gave an excellent talk on herself and her experiences with English culture so far, as well as an interactive portion of the talk which covered Japanese table manners. The whole presentation was clearly appreciated by everyone...
