This year’s WinterFest (2023) was a great success. Mostly adults this year, which was disappointing, as we had set-up a number of seminars that were designed for our junior members. On the other hand, the seminars for adults were well received and focused on subjects of importance to both students and instructors, highlighting the “Fest’s” themes of “Uechi-ryu – Science, Art and Athletic pursuit”! I was impressed with the time and energy devoted by the Presenters to their choice of theme topics and next year will continue with this type of focus.
