临近第二学期的最后，在11月3号的时候，我们在Kura日本料理店举办了一场趴踢，来欢迎社团的新的管理层，升级成为穿护具的S1的社员们和S2的大家！
Reaching the end of Semester 2, a party was held on the 3rd of November at the Kura Japanese Restaurant to welcome our new executive team, bogu players and beginners!
紧接着AGM的烤肉聚会，这是管理层们第一场用来认识新加入的社团成员们（以及老伙计们）的社交活动，同时也是社团成员们认识新管理层的机会。不管是因为对剑道有着相似的热情，还是有着相同的爱好，或只是成为酒伴（笑），我们都很高兴大家能聚在一块儿。
Following the AGM BBQ, this will be the exec team’s first social event to get to know its new (and old) club members and vice versa. Whether it be from having a similar passion for Kendo, sharing interests or just being drinking buddies, it was nice to see everyone getting together.

恭喜S2初学者们完成了剑道测试！他们有Kelvin，一位对于培养S2成员们的技术做好了万全准备和有着丰富经验的前辈，作为指导者。他们训练的强度非常高，我们有时都会用着敬佩的目光看着他们（比如他们举着竹剑做一百万个素振…）。
Congratulations to Semester 2 Beginners for finishing their Kendo test! With the return of Kelvin as an instructor, he has never been more ready to nurture the S2 beginners’ Kendo skills. Their training are so intense, we sometimes look at them in awe (they do tons of suburi with a weighted shinai for example).

而S1的成员们刚开始了他们的护具训练，而这对于他们来说不光是身体的，也是精神上的考验。为了减缓疲劳和压力，这次晚餐也是专门让他们放松和偷税（愉悦）的～大学的期末考试正在迫近，所以这次也是希望大家能从各自的学习中稍稍解放一下～
The Semester 1 Beginners have just started their bogu training and it has been physically and mentally tough for them. To help alleviate their fatigue, this dinner is also dedicated to them to just relax and have fun. Final exams for University are coming up so its a good time to take break from all the study that everyone is doing (hopefully).
