Oita Godo Newspaper 1st April, morning edition

It has already been reached 14 years for the whole affairs that continued to the end. The Last Autumn, they were a people in charge of an Oita national sport tournament's preparation management so called 'a prefectural physical education tournament, bureau for handicap people of the entire country' which had closed on 31^st March, the mentioned bureau will be moved in the building in Oita. This Oita bureau has considerably opened since 1995, and started to be such place for holding meetings' preparation. For 42 years since a long period of the emperor's trophy and the first period of Japanese empress possession and other kinds of meetings had been such great successful for 14 years that it have reached and came to the end of their duties.

There are around 99 staffs had attended in this bureau. Miura Hiroichi, the president said about the bureau closing declaration that 'while we were a people in charge of 'Oita national and handicap sport tournament all the staffs were working hard with the honor feelings that we could hold up both of festivals with confidence by the motto 'if we try, we can do it' we always keep it in mind and try our best.'. Then, the entrance gate display signboard was removed, all the staffs was clapping their hands to shut the closing ceremony.

Comment: that's a sad news for me also as I was a participant in the Oita national and handicap sport festival before since last year, it still reserves a good place in my  memory. I want to say thank you to those staffs that they had arranged everything for us, from the first day of the preparation until the last day of performance, I had seen that everyone was working and trying their best. Now, it's closed but I'm confident that whenever they look at this place again they will have such nice pictures in their memories.
