Reuben's Japanese celebration evening

Gareth presents Reuben with his 3rd Dan certificate and gold watch

Following Reuben's success at achieving 3rd Dan last, it was decided to hold a celebration with a difference and a small group of students travelled to Manchester to enjoy a fist class authentic Japanese meal at the Teppanyaki Restaurant in  China Town.

Reuben presented Gareth with an beautifully embroidered GI for his help over the years.

We can never get Reuben to be serious?

Meriel and Gareth with bib's at the ready

Eve assures me that she was awake in this photo with Llinos

Anwen and Martin digging it to some appetizers

"Please Sir can I have some more?"
My guess is Martin was unaware I was taking this photo...

Can't get the staff these days, our chef burning our meal

The level of concentration by Marin is commendable

Reuben was measuring up his shot well and then.....missed!

Gareth complains he only had two drinks

Alison's eyes suggests she has had more than two???
