| From the Prez We certainly began the new year for the IOC in a good way with an excellent Ohanami Party on April 6th! The weather, location, food, company and conversation were all tops. About 30 people relaxed in the warm sun along the river near JR Sakuranomiya station in Osaka and enjoyed all that the day offered. Now that the club is over 10 years old and with a change in committee members, it is natural that the way the club is run will change a bit too. The biggest new item is that the website has been dras- tically improved to make it much more up to date and user friendly. The Horse's Mouth will be found there regularly, getting events information to the members earlier. Also, each member is encouraged to come forward to lead an event. A long term calendar will be set up. Please consider when you are "free" and find a trail that fits what you can do. Easy and nearby events are very okay, if that is what your level is. Little by little over time we can challenge ourselves to more difficult hikes and rides. If each member leads even one activity during the year, we will have activities for each weekend! The IOC has quite a large file from years back that describes a wide variety of events in many places. Let-s have fun pouring over these files and rediscover what Kansai has to offer outdoor lovers. We also have a selection of hiking maps so we can make some new routes. JPY1000 will be paid back to anyone who turns in an activity report after leading an event. Come to the monthly meeting to get more details and become better acquainted with fellow members. See you there! Questions or comment? Please ask.
