<p>The short intensive commercial Christmas in Japan is over and the country gears up for the big one - <strong>New Year</strong> !</p><p>I have decided to mark this New Year by stepping back from the Judoforum as a contributor.</p><p>I feel I have thrown in enough firecrackers for the time being.</p><p>I will continue reading the Forums postings, but I will desist from writing any comments.</p><p>I am doing this in order to get on with my very interesting and happy life here in Japan.</p><p>I also feel that because of the coming AGM in 2006, the Forum will be getting an increasing number of whiners, accusers, defenders etc. etc. as Swedish judo swings into its annual &quot;Run-up to the AGM&quot; fever.</p><p>I will probably be back with some postings after the waves from your AGM have settled.</p><p>So with this posting, I wish you all a Happy New Year, and good luck with shaping the future of Swedish judo.</p><p>That's all from me for a while,</p><p>Douglas    </p>
