It was indeed the focus of our young lives as children in Bulawayo in the forties, fifties, sixties and seventies. Remember that amazing tang of chlorine that pumped out of that massive filtration system at the back of the pool grounds. Remember the tall tall trees that housed those smelly herons who pooped on your swimming towel ? Remember those red, blue and yellow change room doors, row upon row of them, all painted with brilliant gloss paint. These were forbidden to us all until we reached sixteen I think it was, maybe thirteen, and only then were you privileged to use them Until then you had to contend with the communal change rooms at the far end of the change room block. Remember those eternally wet floors, always soaking as we raced in and out with the zest of childhood to collect whatever we needed from the cubicles. They were tiny cubicles with but a hook on the back of the door and a slatted bench the width of the cubicle. At one time we were allowed keys to the cubicles but as sanctions hit us and keys became costly, we had to search for the enormous change room attendant, who would begrudgingly slop along and open the door for us. My own personal love affair with Borrow Street pool began when, as Coghlan Infant School Children, we would line up in pairs in a long plumbago blue crocodile, and walk the four blocks to the pool for swimming lessons..... And then as we became fully fledged swimmers, Mom would allow Gavin and I to go to the pool ON OUR OWN !! Hours, days, weeks, months were spent in teeth chattering bliss from the very first day of September every year until the end of April. The school holidays were sheer bliss, we would form a rowdy queue outside those turnstiles, armed with the tickey to get in and one and six for a coke and packet of crisps. It was there that we fell in love with those pink marshmallow fish and those yellow soft candy bananas. It was there that we used to much on those long liquorice sticks or those liquorice rulers that you could wrap around your finger and watch them go black.. After three hours of swimming until one's fingers went white and wrinkly, we would flop down on those deliciously warm brown sandstone blocks, cover ourselves entirely with our swimming towels, and with teeth chattering furiously, would warm ourselves up with anecdotes and sun, until it was time to go back in the pool again. Marco Polo was a favourite game, diving off the one meter and three met boards was just the most exciting thing you could ever do, and there was always a senior at the bottom of the boards to ensure law and order was maintained. The kiosk was heaven, coke floats, ice cream, those little black shiny balls that would last for at least an hour if you sucked on them slowly, and those giant yellow balls that would not quite fit in your mouth and were oh so chewable. The baby Pool was quite a new addition and was reserved for the under sixes. But when the superintendent was not looking you could sometimes sneak in and belly crawl from one end to the other to get warm. The Superintendents name was Mr Meal and my memory served me right his son Louis took over for a while. Remember we used to get chased out though during the lunch hour so the nice people could sun themselves in peace and quiet. Then we could go back at about three when the sun was not so fierce. Of course the piece de resistance was when they had "night swimming" during the very hot season. That was absolute bliss, nothing will ever feel as magic as those special balmy Rhodesian evenings ever ever again. I have posted some pictures on the website of the Borrow Street Pool. http://www.morningmirror.africanherd.com Unfortunately the pool was being emptied for maintenance so I missed that wonderfully exciting chlorine smell, but I will go back again soon, take some more pics, and relive those ecstatically happy childhood memories. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ SPCA APPEAL ALL RESIDENTS LIVING WITHIN A TWO KILOMETRE RADIUS OF WHITESTONE SCHOOL ARE REQUESTED TO PLEASE CONFINE THEIR PETS INDOORS FROM 18.00 HOURS - 19.30 HOURS ON SUNDAY 29TH OCTOBER 2006 AS THERE WILL BE A FIREWORKS DISPLAY AT THE ABOVE SCHOOL..

I hope this finds you and all your family well. Ive been clearing out our cupboards lately and filled a few black bin bags with old clothes and shoes, mainly for children (around 8 and 11) that my girls have grow out of. It seems such an awful waste to get rid of it all down here, when there is such dire need in Zim. Im not sure if you know of any orphanages or charitable organisations in Byo that could do with such a donation? I know its not a very practical idea and the logistics are rather complicated, but if I were to sell them here and send the money to you, it would amount to very little, comparatively. I thought perhaps, with Christmas coming up, there would be a decent amount of Zimbabweans driving down to Cape Town on holiday and I could send them back with them? Im happy to drop them off anywhere if you know of anyone coming down this way in a car. If not, Id be grateful if you would put me in touch with someone who could use them. Thanks very much for your help. Take care and please give Jo my very best wishes when next you speak to her!

When the Google Search Engine came up with a letter from a Mrs Hopehann whod written to you some time ago, my heart did a little leap!

We went to Hillside Junior School in Bulawayo. When searching the internet I see you refer to a Shirley Cumming in your Morning Mirror 49 - 6th May 2003. in the condolences section.

Their needs are many and varied and escalating! We are grateful for the wonderful support we have received through Morning Mirror for the appeals we have made in the past. Now I have some new ones. 1. Magnifying glass for an elderly man who has a blind spot. He is able to pay for it but can't find one in Bulawayo. 2. Someone downsizing and moving into Coronation Cottages needs a small fridge. 3. Ralstein Home is run by the Salvation Army for elderly destitutes. We have been working with them and they have made some significant improvements. Firstly they have moved out the Botswana students which means more rooms are available. Donations of food, gardening equipment, curtaining and bed linen are much in need. We ask you to consider them when you are clearing out the garage and cupboards. Either contact Captain Nherara at Ralstein House, 201972, or Byo Help Network. 4. Senior Citizens Service (medical support to elderly) is looking for unused oxygen bottles. Please contact Les Hunt on 281340 or 011630204. 5. Jacaranda House is appealing for cutlery, glasses and kitchen knives. Please deliver to them, 57 Jason Moyo St between 4th/5th Ave, or phone them on 66939. 6. An elderly man at Jacaranda House is in need of an electric kettle. Contact Byo Help Network. Finally, we are often phoned by concerned and caring citizens about elderly white people seen begging at Hillside and other shopping centres. Most of these people are known to us as "professional beggars"; they have been offered accommodation at an institution but prefer to stay independent and on the street. You do not need to let them make you feel guilty nor do you need to keep funding them. We understand your concerns but some of them are good con artists too. Once again, many thanks for your generous support. We hope to see you at the SOAP fundraiser on Sunday 29 October at Whitestone School from 2pm with fireworks in the evening.

This project will be carried out in partnership with the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum. At present the archive is sitting in hundreds of uncatalogued boxes in the Bristol-based museum. Researchers who have investigated the boxes have found gems such as poignant photographs of soldiers on both sides of the war for independence; intelligence reports; operational instructions, and policy debates exposing the strengths and weaknesses of a doomed but desperate government. However there is no way of locating specific documents and no organising principle behind the collection, which was saved from destruction after independence in 1980 and smuggled into South Africa. The three-year project will produce a comprehensive searchable catalogue of this unique collection, with user-friendly web-based access, and a guide to the contents. Up to 10,000 pages of material will also be digitised and included in the Aluka Struggles for Freedom in Southern Africa collection, which documents the liberation struggles in southern Africa since the end of World War II. Aluka is a separate project supported in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Project leader Dr Diana Jeater is Principal Lecturer in African History in UWE's Faculty of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences, and also Chair of the Britain Zimbabwe Society. She said: This is a really exciting collection with something for military and social historians, those interested in liberation struggles and questions of identity, and the wider community. For forty years, the wars of liberation in southern Africa had a profound impact on the region. Amongst those opposing African majority rule, the Rhodesian Army has been mythologised as a formidable fighting machine. This archive offers for the first time an opportunity to test the folklore surrounding this force, and to situate it in its time and place. The history of Zimbabwe and its links with Britain continue to have resonance in our communities today.” The team includes Research Fellow Tim Lovering, who is a military historian and trained archivist. He said: The project's link with the Aluka collection offers a form of repatriation for the material that had to be taken from the country in secret and hidden in people's garages in order to save it. Thanks to this project present-day Zimbabweans, some of whom lost relatives in the war of independence, will have access to this era in their history.” A full-time archivist will be appointed and the project will welcome volunteers who are training to be archivists or PhD students who wish to base theses on the material. The project begins in September 2006 and the results will be presented at a public conference, and provide the basis for output such as papers, books and theses. Gareth Griffiths, Director of BECM, said, "This award confirms the importance of the collections which the Museum Trust has saved for the nation over the past decade. It is enormously exciting that, at last, the work of the Museum staff in collecting this material is being recognised and that it will soon be available to scholars around the world" -ENDS- Editor's notes The grant has been made under the Arts and Humanities Research Council's Resource Enhancement scheme. For more information on the AHRC, visit http://www.ahrc.ac.uk For more information on the Bristol Empire and Commonwealth Museum, visit http://www.empiremuseum.co.uk The Museum presents the 500-year history of the British Empire, offering evidence of Britain's colonial past from a variety of cultural perspectives. Through its permanent galleries, special exhibitions, events and education programmes it examines the legacy of empire on modern Britain and the present-day Commonwealth. The Museum, which is independent of Government and a registered charity, is a recent nominee for the title 'European Museum of the Year.' +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++ 7 TIDBITS Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. ------------- The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
