The fabled quadrangle was filled to overflowing with students, staff, guests, and old girls, and there was even a giant birthday cake for the occasion. Senator David Coltart Minister of Education was the guest of honour and we "Old Girls" all had lumps in out throats remembering our own glorious days at Eveline School so many years ago. Several of the girls even had the old school Boaters with the maroon hat band, although the much more practical brown floppy hat has taken its place. The summer uniform is the same, that beautiful turquoise blue with that irritating belt ... and the blazers were the same although unnecessary in the boiling hot sun. The theme was " Hundred years existence - 1910 to 2010 - celebrating diversity in the school system" and the school has great plans for the future. The girls were beautifully behaved, sitting patiently during the speeches, songs and dramas, and the Senator broke the ground for the new IT Centre planned for the school in the next couple of years. The staff were elegant and professional in their mortar boards and gowns and the future of the school is in good hands. Several groups of "Old Girls" and local companies made generous donations to the Eveline Rehabilitation Project which includes a giant recreation and conference centre on the playing fields over the road from Langdon House, where we once used to hold our sports days. I can even remember some of the names of the houses. Ours was Gladstone, then there was Buxton, Langdon, Northwood, Mackintosh, oops can anyone help me out ? There were 8 in all if I remember. Milton High had its centenary too this week, a whole week of festivities which I gather were enormously successful. However, we Eveline Girls, as was always the case in the past, were far more ladylike in our celebrations!! The old memories may have gone but we Eveline Girls still do our best to remain "Upright and True"... I have posted some anniversary photos on the Morning Mirror website www.morningmirror.africanherd.com/ ++++++++ 2) NOTICES AND EVENTS CRICKET TOURNAMENT CBC U16 20/20 Join us for a weekend of cricket and see Zimbabwe's talent battle it out.

Please contact Debroah Roberts +263 9 76033, 73234 or 73235 +++++++++ PROPERTY & AUCTIONS CHARTERED SURVEYORS 1) PROPERTY : Sales Management Valuations Sales : A brief flurry of excited interest followed CABS announcement that bonds were available. This faded when potential purchasers realised the requirements involved, and Sellers' reluctance to sell on bond. This reluctance hard to understand, as many properties have been with us for sale for ages, awaiting that elusive cash purchaser. A bond is "cash" if all qualifications are met, but a number of sellers decided that the 5 weeks it would take for applications to be processed was just too long. In 5-6 weeks times perhaps their reluctance will be regretted. In any event, we have dozens and dozens of properties to sell from flats, houses to commercial and industrial. And reasonably priced too. Phone Ding Mukono on 0712 397 632 or Beryl Muir on 0912 830 504 Management : Selected properties leased to selected tenants. Each leased property is under the personal management of a nominated experienced member of staff who is, individually, responsible for inspections, collections of rental etc. Valuations: As the only independent Chartered Valuation Surveyor in Bulawayo, we offer a first class professional service, at very reasonable rates. Valuation of all types of real property for: Market Value, Insurance, Mortgage/Finance Annual rental value, Deceased estate. Phone R.E.D. Property on 882944-6, or call at 98a. S. Parirenyatwa St., Between 9th & 10th Ave, Bulawayo. NB: We held our first auction of real estate last week - a valuable and well located 1 acres development stand on Third St. in Suburbs. A reserve was agreed with the Trustee of the owning Trust, and battle commenced at 9.30 sharp following good exposure in the press etc. A good selection of interested punters attended, not one of whom raised a finger to bid the reserve at auction. "Not sold", whereupon a queue of 5 individuals made offers at above reserve. Why didn't they bid at auction? God alone knows, but we rescheduled the auction for 11:00am, the majority re-attended and the property was eventually sold at auction well above reserve. Perhaps the concept of selling land at auction was too novel for Bulawayo, but we will all eventually get the hang of it. R.E.D. AUCTION We hold weekly auctions of movables at 14 Luton St., Belmont, Corner Hull Road. Items offered include motorcars, motorcycles, furniture, households and office smalls, tools, building materials etc, etc. If we don't achieve what we think is the right price, then "not sold" and held over until the following week, or sold out of hand Monday to Friday. Sellers are paid in cash the Monday following the sale. We really do try harder and have a regular following. Phone 886013/4 to arrange collection, or for an idea of value.

The constitution survey features a mix of questions. Some questions directly address content usually included in a constitution, while others seek to survey opinions on issues of concern to Zimbabweans. These issues, and Zimbabwean opinions on them, should guide those who are tasked to draft the new document and our views should be honoured in the detail making up a new constitution. Taking the Survey: 1. NONE of the questions in our survey are compulsory 2. Most are quick multiple-choice style answers! 3. The survey takes approximately 30 minutes to complete 4. We have MS Word versions available for those who do not have access to the internet 5. Survey replies can be submitted anonymously Please visit: http://www.sokwanele.com/zimbabweconstitution/survey to complete the survey online. If you have difficulties doing the survey online, please send a blank email to survey@sokwanele.com. This will trigger an automatic response containing information on how you can receive a word document to use instead. The Constitution Survey will remain open until the end of September - i.e. a short while after the outreach programme is expected to close. When the outreach is over, we will ALL have to prepare ourselves to vote in a referendum. It's a daunting task: the constitution is an immensely important document, but for those of us who are not lawyers or politicians, it can also feel very complicated. Zimbabwe's new constitution will be the document that shapes and guides all future laws in Zimbabwe, so it is important we all feel we understand enough to make an informed decision during the referendum. Our survey will help in this regard. It is impossible to include everything in a survey, especially when considering a topic as complex and as detailed as a nation's constitution. So we have instead sought to cover a wide enough range of topics to provoke further thought and debate as we move forwards. We hope that the survey will offer readers a deeper insight into how wide-ranging the constitution document is, and we hope it will encourage readers to seek more information on areas they feel uncertain about.
