秋のご報告と請願採択のご報告 Autumn update and petition success

この週末も、新しいメンバーやシンガポールからのビジターを迎えて、とても充実した時間となりました。特に金曜日には、体育館への空調導入を求める請願を鎌倉市に提出する機会がありました。

この取り組みは一日で実現したものではなく、ここ三か月ほど、市役所の担当者や他の推進者の方々と何度も話し合いを重ね、多くの方に署名でご協力いただいた結果です。その甲斐あって、無事に請願が採択されました。来年度の予算に組み込まれ、担当が決まり次第、来年の夏までには空調が設置される見込みです。来年の夏には体育館に冷房が入るという、大変嬉しい成果となりました。

さて、10月まであと二週間。気温も少しずつ下がり、秋の訪れを感じる季節になってきました。10月・11月のスケジュールもすでに決まっていますので、ぜひお早めにご予約ください。秋のさわやかな季節に、皆さんと一緒にプレーできることを楽しみにしています。

We had another great weekend, welcoming some new members and even visitors from Singapore. A special highlight was Friday, when we presented our petition to Kamakura City regarding the installation of air conditioning in the gym.

This was not something achieved in a single day—it has been the result of about three months of steady effort. We have met with various representatives from City Hall, worked together with others who have been pushing for the same goal, and received invaluable support from all of you who helped by signing the petition. We are pleased to share that the petition was adopted. The project will be included in next year’s budget, and once the city appoints someone to manage the works, the installation should be completed before next summer. This means that by next year, we should finally have air conditioning in the gym—a fantastic outcome for everyone involved.

That said, there are still two weeks to go before October. The temperatures are beginning to fall, and autumn is just around the corner. We already have our schedule lined up for October and November, so we encourage everyone to book early. I look forward to playing with you all in the cooler season ahead.
