2025 has been an eventful year. How was it for you? The job of a wordsmith is ever evolving with advances in technology. The bonenkai is a great chance to talk with fellow wordsmiths and share ideas. Also, it’s a great opportunity to catch up with friends and meet new people.

This is a casual gathering with no fixed charge. Everyone is free to arrive and leave when it suits them. Partners and friends are welcome.

The Hub’s happy hour runs until 7:00 p.m. If you're a Hub member, you receive an extra 5 percent discount. https://www.pub-hub.com/index.php/shop/topics/28404

If you are interested in attending, we do ask that you contact us so we can give the venue rough numbers to ensure they reserve enough space for us. If you can’t decide until the last minute, just turn up. Of course there’ll be room for you. The more the merrier.

Informal book exchange
Also bring a book or two along with you to pass on to others. Please note that we ask you to take your books home if they aren’t claimed, as we will have no way of disposing of them.

Note: SWET Kansai will not be organizing a formal nijikai or venue for dinner, due to the fluidity of the function.
