In any case we look forward to the new year, and hope to see as many of you as possible on the Herzogenhorn again. The registration has already started. Deadline is: January 15, 2021.
Also, please do not forget to pay your annual twa membership fee no later than January 31. By indicating your full name with membership number !
Merry Christmas and see you again in the New Year, - healthy and well

We would like to inform you that Mr. Masanori Takahashi passed away on July 25th 2020, after a long fight against cancer. Mr. Takahashi was supporting the Tendokan for over 30 years. He is one part of Tendokan's history.
It is so sad, he was such a great person.
May he find comfort and peace.
