Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

www.shakuhachiforum.com has received this correspondence from Riley Lee and World Shakuhachi Festival 2008. We encourage everybody to attend this festival. Everybody wants to come to Australia at least once in their lives and if you're a shakuhachi person, this is the best time. See you soon!

"Greetings Fellow Shakuhachi Enthusiasts.

I am happy to announce that registration for the World Shakuhachi Festival 2008 is now open. The on-line registration form for the WSF08 is up and running. We have already received our first paid registrations.

Please go to the ‘registration’ page on the Festival website. The Festival website is: www.worldshakuhachifestival08.com

You can register directly from the Festival Website using PayPal, securely and easily, using either a PayPal account, or just a credit card.

Early bird registrations are cheaper than later registrations. Plus by registering early, you will be helping the Festival with its very tenuous cash flow. The Festival has many expenses that need to be met immediately, yet most of the income will not be received until during or after the Festival.

Accommodation can also be booked via a link on the Festival website. Booking through our partner, ID Tours will get you extremely competitive prices for hotels in Sydney, possibly the best prices.

Booking optional tours (for accompanying spouses or before/after the Festival) through ID tours will also help support the Festival.

Please check the ‘accommodation’ page on the Festival website.

The Festival planning continues apace. The Invited Performers list will be refined soon. Once it is, then the Festival schedule can be fleshed out with the programming of specific pieces, workshop and seminar topics, etc.

The Festival website will be updated regularly.

If you’re planning to come to WSF08, please register now!

Sincerely,
Riley Lee
Artistic Director and Chair, WSF08 Executive Committee"
