This year’s Words and Music summer event is being organised by Rebecca Otowa.

The event will be held at Gnome Bar, Kyoto, near Kawaramachi Nijo on Sunday, June 16, 2024,  6-9 pm. 

Since the staff at the bar have asked to be informed of the numbers of people, please RSVP to Rebecca before May 20 if you wish to attend. An email will be sent out to members before that as a reminder. There will be a menu list with options for ordering beforehand as has been the case previously. 

WiK is looking for people to perform with readings or music at this event. People who wish to perform, please email Rebecca or contact her by FB Messenger if you are on that.

PS Dues for next year will be payable at this time, as the event marks the deadline for payments. If you wish to pay in person, please make sure to bring along Y3300, preferably in an envelope with your name.
