When I was a child in the 1950's, the bathing suit for a woman with a mature figure was designed for a woman with a mature figure boned, trussed and reinforced, not so much sewn as engineered. They were built to hold back and uplift and they did a good job. Today's stretch fabrics are designed for the pre-pubescent girl with a figure carved from a potato chip. The mature woman has a choice she can either front up at the Maternity department and try on a floral suit with a skirt, coming away looking like a hippopotamus who escaped from Disney's Fantasia - or she can wander around every run-of-the-mill department store trying to make a sensible choice from what amounts to a designer range of fluorescent rubber bands. What choice did I have? I wandered around, made my sensible choice and entered the chamber of horrors known as the fitting room. The first thing I noticed was the extraordinary tensile strength of the stretch material. The Lycra used in bathing costumes was developed, I believe, by NASA to launch small rockets from a slingshot, which give the added bonus that if you manage to actually lever yourself into one, you are protected from shark attacks. The reason for this is that any shark taking a swipe at your passing midriff would immediately suffer whiplash. I fought my way into the bathing suit, but as I twanged the shoulder strap in place, I gasped in horror - my bosom had disappeared! Eventually, I found one bosom cowering under my left armpit. It took a while to find the other. At last I located it flattened beside my seventh rib. The problem is that modern bathing suits have no bra cups. The mature woman is meant to wear her bosom spread across her chest like a speed hump. I realigned my speed hump and lurched toward the mirror to take a full view assessment. The bathing suit fitted all right, but unfortunately, it only fitted those bits of me willing to stay inside it. The rest of me oozed out rebelliously from top, bottom, and sides. I looked like a lump of play dough wearing undersized cling wrap. As I tried to work out where all those extra bits had come from, the pre-pubescent sales girl popped her head through the curtains, "Oh There you are!" she said, admiring the bathing suit...I replied that I wasn't so sure and asked what else she had to show me. I tried on a cream crinkled one that made me look like a lump of masking tape, and a floral two piece which gave the appearance of an oversized napkin in a serviette ring. I struggled into a pair of leopard skin bathers with ragged frill and came out looking like Tarzan's Jane pregnant with triplets and having a rough day. I tried on a black number with a midriff and looked like a jellyfish in mourning. I tried on a bright pink pair with such a high cut leg I thought I would have to wax my eyebrows to wear them. Finally, I found a suit that fitted... a two piece affair with shorts style bottom and a loose blouse-type top. It was cheap, comfortable, and bulge-friendly, so I bought it. My ridiculous search had a successful outcome. When I got home, I found a label that said, "Material will become transparent in water. ++++++++ NOTICES "SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS PLEASE HELP US TO HELP THOSE WHO CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES Our shelves are bare, please help us to restock them.

Performing Arts apologises for the on/off confusion but Michael Brownlee Walker WILL be playing on Tuesday 14 February! The concert will take place as originally intended at 6.00 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall. There will be one difference - the concert will be FREE! An explanation! Michael had hoped to postpone his trip and recital but in fact his air ticket cannot be changed without considerable expense so he's flying this weekend as originally intended. As he was in hospital for over a week, he has obviously lost a good deal of rehearsal time so will not be playing the full programme and will decide once he's here just how much he can manage. He seems confident that it will be quite a substantial portion of what was originally advertised. It was always quite a short programme (designed initially for a lunchtime recital) so we have decided that there will be no charge for tickets - but we will be happy to accept donations! There will be snacks afterwards (on PAB!) and a cash bar so we hope everyone will stay on for a while - and perhaps pay subscriptions! We'll also take the opportunity to update you on Festival plans and, for those who might be interested, there will be a chance to see the improvements that have taken place at the Academy over the last year. We will refund the cost of tickets to all who have already booked. Please bring your tickets with you - and the seating plan will apply. Those who have booked plus Red Carpets will have their seats reserved and those who haven't booked can choose from the plan at the door as usual. If anyone wishes to book at Meikles, that's also possible - the booking office has been informed that there will be no charge. To confirm: Michael Brownlee Walker will be playing LOVE SONGS on Tuesday 14 February at 6.00 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall. The concert is FREE and there will be snacks and drinks afterwards. +++++ MATABELELAND FISHING TEAM FUND RAISER Country and Western Hoedown, Saturday 18th February 2006 @ 7.30pm till late.

PHILIP ROSEN A Tribute given by Peter Rollason on the Memorial Service on 10th February,2006. Philip was a Bulawayo boy, going back some 85 years. He attended both Milton Junior and Senior Schools, where he was a prefect, and he was greatly involved in sport, particularly tennis, cricket and rugby. In 1938, he went to England to study for his chosen career as a dentist, and he graduated as a Licentiate Dental Surgeon, Royal College of Surgeons in 1943. He was at Kings College in the Strand. He played soccer, cricket, hockey and rugby for the combined Charing Cross and Royal Dental Hospitals, and captained the hospital cricket team for two years. In 1944 he joined the Royal Air Force as a dental surgeon Flying Officer, later Flight Lieutenant. The war ended in 1945, and on 12th May that year, in the midst of the "Victory in Europe" celebrations, he married Laura Stevens, who came from Plymouth. He was asked to continue service with the RAF, particularly in order to help rehabilitate returning prisoners from the Far East of conflict. He never ever spoke about the harrowing details of this work. In 1948, he was offered a permanency in the RAF, with higher rank, or, as an alternative, free tickets for himself and his wife to return to Africa. A difficult decision after being away for ten years or so. They decided to make the trip, and the Air Force sent them by sea through the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal and down the East Coast of Africa to Durban, thence by train to Bulawayo. That was the quickest way, according to the Air Force clerk, who had to look up Rhodesia on the map to find out just where it was. In fact, it was a very useful almost holiday trip, which did him a power of good after the stresses he had experienced. They settled down in Bulawayo. He set up private practice as a Dental Surgeon, and Laura became a teacher at Baines School. Philip was a generous person. He gave of himself, of his professional acumen, and his friendship to so many people. He never refused a favour, and he was so well thought of by all his patients, by his colleagues and by his friends. He enjoyed people. Laura and Philip had their two daughters, Karen now in UK, and Bridget now in S.A., in Bulawayo and now there are 7 grand-children and 9 great grand children, all of whom Philip loved and adored. Philip's keen interest in sport continued unabated, and he played cricket as a member of the doctors' cricket team for a number of years. Even in later times, his interest endured and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to watch sport, and especially cricket, on T.V. He loved his sport. He also became associated with the Sport of Kings, horse racing, and was appointed a Steward of the Matabeleland Turf Club. This position he held from 1962 until the Club closed for a period. He was reinstated with the Club when it returned to activity in 1974. He remained a Steward for over 25 years more, and was elevated to Honorary Life President in 2001. Philip and Laura celebrated their Golden Wedding and later their Diamond Wedding Anniversary in 2005. That was spent with their daughter Bridget in Benoni and they stayed with her for her 50th birthday the next month. We celebrate his life and recall memories of him as a wonderful, cheerful, professional and well-loved person. To quote from a letter to Laura: "Our thoughts and condolences are with you and the family during this sad time of bereavement. Your husband was always considered to be a very senior and prominent person and in particular he was highly respected in the Medical Fraternity". That really sums it up. Philip was a gentleman, in both senses; a gentle man of compassion, sensibility and humour, and as a gentleman of respect, of integrity and of love. The world indeed seems a better place got for his presence. ++++++ 1. Mature Maid with references required to start ASAP - living in.

These ambulance trips have increased to 2.5 million @ trip and we thank EMRAS for their preferential fee they have given us and thank you to all the Staff for their hard work throughout the year.
