JAPAN fundraiser in Tokyo postponed

Meanwhile, the fundraiser that was planned by the Tokyo Goannas in Tokyo tonight has been postponed. Tokyo Goannas President, Andrew Peyton explains below:

“We have decided to cancel our planned Fundraiser for the Japan Earthquake Appeal that was set down for this evening, Friday 18th March. Due to the planned power outages that will affect trains, commuting to and from the Fundraiser will pose considerable difficulties for all attending.

“Instead, we will be moving the event back one week to Friday 25th March at Paddy Foley’s Irish Pub, Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan.

“Thank you so much for your understanding and apologies for any inconvenience.”
