Good morning Debbie and John
 
Well done again for staging one of the most professional events I have had the pleasure to work on - and we have worked on sh*tloads of them over the past few decades so I do not make that statement lightly.  You must be very pleased to review the fruits of your efforts now that you can stop and take a breath.

Hi Debbie,

Please do use the photos for the website. Thank you guys for all your
hard work and energy, it's not easy organizing an event that big. I sat
in front of some Canadians and they were commenting on how well the week
was organized and also the number of volunteers involved. They also said
that is no way that they could pull off hosting the World Cup to that
standard.

Well done once again, see you all at the next event.

Jo Rugless, South Australia

 
Dear John & Deb, 
 
Congratulations – you must be feeling extremely satisfied.The World Cup was enormously successful, thanks to your efforts.I was both amazed and impressed with how well it went.You deserve some appreciation. I can see that what you have done for JKAA will never be completely understood nor fully appreciated.

Oss & Regards

Dear Debbie & John
 
Thanks for a wonderful week of Karate and fun.
 
Well done to you both and all your helpers for a successful event.
 
Unfortunatley I mislaid my Brown jacket and silvery scarf on the Cruise.  I contacted the Captain and he can't find it, if anyone has handed them in can you please ask them to contact me and I will pay the postage to have it shipped over.

I have spoken to many senior visitors from JKAWF member countries and everyone was very impressed by the standards displayed during their stay here in Australia.
