Bookings will be accepted either by post or in person at the Zimbabwe Academy of Music. E-mail reservations will be made on receipt of a booking on the assumption that payment will follow promptly. The festival will run from Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 June 2006, with an opening concert on the evening of Wednesday 14 June and there will be some 16 concerts in the main programme as well as the usual 'Meet the Performer' interviews. The performers will include Benjamin Nabarro (violin), Ania Safonova (violin/viola), Matthew Sharp (cello), Jeanette Micklem (piano), Leslie Howard (piano), Michael Brownlee Walker (piano), Lorna Kelly (soprano), Cherith Keen (soprano) and Catherine Stirling (violin). There will also be a second, integrated programme in a second venue at the Academy where a whole variety of performances will be promoted, many of them centred on the Isigodlo group who have put on very successful shows in the last two years. There will be African music and dance, jazz, the Harare Youth Orchestra, Arundel Choir and other young musicians as well as non-musical attractions ranging from talks on the night sky and art exhibitions to acrobatic dancing and poetry readings! The two complimentary programmes will offer non-stop entertainment from 10.00 in the morning to 10.00 at night. There will also be picnic areas and snacks, drinks etc.on sale throughout the day. Two season tickets are available, one for the five evening concerts, the other for the eleven (or so!) daytime concerts. The cost of the tickets is: Evening season ticket (five concerts) : $1 500 000 Daytime season ticket (eleven concerts) : $2 500 000 If you wish to buy both season tickets, then there is a substantial discount and both are available for $3 000 000. However, these prices can only be held for March and the price will rise on 1 April and again on 1 May in line with inflation and our anticipated costs. The cost of single tickets for all 16 concerts will probably be at least twice the current cost of the season ticket. That ticket will also give admission to events in the second performance area so it represents a real bargain - and, of course, season ticket holders get first choice of the seats! So far as possible tickets will be allocated in the preferred area. A full diary of the classical side of the programme can be obtained and any other information can be obtained from music@gatorzw.co.uk +++++++ PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO P.O.BOX 2360 - BULAWAYO A reminder that the Performing Arts AGM will take place on THURSDAY 2 MARCH - 1.00 for 1.10 in Room 25 at the Academy. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available and you're very welcome to bring your sandwiches! We intend to have the meeting over by 2.00 and would welcome your support. There will be a brief review of last year's activities and the usual financial report but also an opportunity for you to put forward any comments and opinions on what we have done or what you would like us to do. Nominations for the committee will be welcome. It is currently nine strong, all of whom are prepared to go forward, but there is room (and work!) for a couple more - but please ensure that any nominees have agreed before suggesting their names.

REMINDERS Saturday 25 March: BPO Youth Concert Saturday 8 April: Libor Novacek plays Mozart, Ravel, Schubert and Liszt Both concerts will be covered by the PAB subscription and details will be circulated shortly. AN APPEAL The Academy has neither a CD nor a cassette player - and only a pretty elderly turntable. It's very much on the list of priorities but is there anyone who might be prepared to donate, lend or sell either a sound system or parts thereof?!... The Academy would be very grateful indeed - and so would I! Best wishes as always, Michael Bullivant +++++++ ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT SOMEONE'S DRINKING ?

I am writing to all of you about a dear friend , Eddy Norris, old Umtali ite and a fantastic Rhodesian. Eddy edits ORAFS (Old Rhodesian Airforce Sods). I had not heard from Eddy for a while and was a bit worried, after writing to him , his daughter, Denise , wrote telling me Eddy was ill in hospital. She wrote today that Eddy is doing a wee bit better , but I ask that all you old Rhodesians and South Africans keep Eddy in your prayers. He is a true Rhodesian , a person you can count on and tonight when you talk to the Big Bwana Mkulu, remember Eddy and Denise and the Norris family. My Uncle , Alf Frost , served with Eddy in the Airforc! e, Eddy's niece Marilyn and I have been friends for an eternity. Our families have known each other for ever and Eddy is very special to us.

For all my Rhodesian mates check out D'ebvhu's blog site thebeardedman.blogspot.com D'ebvhu and his wife "B" are great folk with deep ties to Rhodesia and Zim.

Leta and I wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mags and her wonderful Morning Mirror, and to all who responded to my inquiry. We would not have located Dave and Lo without your help; all other efforts over the years had come to naught and I was becoming more and more afraid he had not survived the intervening decades. We have now heard from him, with an update on his situation, loss of his land, etc, and have solid contact info for him at this point, to stay in touch. Thank you all so much. If it seems to you sometimes that the rest of us in the English-speaking World have forgotten your plight and turned our backs on your small courageous numbers still hanging on and continuing to believe in your country and its potential, please know that there are those of us who are watching and who are aware of the truth of what is happening. We will continue to keep you in our prayers for a better, brighter future for Zimbabwe and a return to its former stability and prosperity. For those of you who know Dave Simpson, it will be no surprise that while teaching in Texas he inspired a whole younger generation of students like myself and set a sterling example of dedication to the land and its science and management, and indeed set an unforgettable example of how to face life in general, with courage, dignity, and honour. I have a feeling that this same spirit manifests itself in many of you as well, as a direct legacy of the tremendous determination and toil of the forebears who once forged Rhodesia/Zimbabwe into a country in the first place. God bless you, and thank you once again. Best regards, Capt. and Mrs. Stewart Marshall, WA State, USA. +++++++ CHEEKY CHOOKS COMBINED WITH THE BULAWAYO DRIVING RANGE SUNDAY LUNCH BRAAI 10 AM ONWARDS BRING OUT YOUR RUSTY IRONS AND DRIVE A FEW BALLS ON THE RANGE, AND WORK UP AN APPETITE OR JUST COME AND RELAX AND WATCH OTHERS DRIVING A FEW BALLS ACRSS THE RANGE.
