If one was born in Bulawayo in the forties, fifties or sixties, one was welcome to join the weekend long festivities. Functions included a steam train trip, a picnic at the Hillside Dams, a visit to the Matopos with a breakfast at the Farmhouse and day trips to Hwange and the Chobe Game Reserves. Of course the culmination was a giant Saturday night bash at Old Miltonians Club in Bulawayo where the Old Club did us proud. To quote Dianne Featherstone' one of the teriffic organizers 'Wow! Wow!Wow! Is all I can say, what an amazing party! Old Miltonians and the Bulawayo committee did us beyond proud. The air was electric with hype and excitement.The tents and band stand looked amazing and the food stalls from around the world were absolutely awesome. One could indulge in curry and rice, American Hotdogs, or sadza and relish amongst other culinary delights. There were shooter bars and Wine bars, it was pure magic. The band 'Forty Something' played and I can honestly recommend them what a huge sound and stunning music. Martin Patrick played during breaks and a few locals joined him from time to time. We danced all night and the party ended at 4 am. Needless to say there are many dead men walking today! Today s lunch at Matopos was just perfect under the koppies and under the indigenous trees by the pool about 50 of us sat and reminisced .....Travis Sletcher entertaining the men with all the old stories ....lots of raw us laughter! Thank you Bulawayo and all of the above for making it the mother Of All Parties!' The band The 'Forty Something' was a misnomer as Jock, Rudi, Frank, Jimmy and Tookie are mostly a tad over forty!! but they were absolutely excellent and had the dance floor pumping with the many folk who gathered from far and wide to reunite with their school friends from many years past. Many old schools were visited, many of Bulawayo's still scenic attractions were ogled at including the famous Eskimo Hut which sadly finally closed its doors on Sunday 4 May 2014. The next excitement was the steam train ride to the Victoria Falls and again I quote Dianne Featherstone. Arrived at the Falls after an awesome train ride ... Just so many memories , smells and sites which are imprinted in our brain . The chirping and crying with laughter is never ending ...free day today and guess where the first stop is ? Yes we around the beautiful outdoor pub and The Kingdom .... Hot and just so special! Hope all my pics are going through , I've sent many ! Were having a G&T to absent friends ...love to you all Congratulations must go to the Dianne and the Mommsens who have organised similar reunions in Durban, Joburg and Cape Town over the years, and hopefully those Bulawayo folk who were born in the seventies, and eighties will take up the cudgel and continue this wonderful tradition. I still have to confirm if anyone did undertake a compulsory dive into the fountain at the Bulawayo Centenary Park? +++++++ 2) Notices and Events SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS MAKE A DATE FOR SUNDAY MAY 25 FOR OUR SCRUFFS DOG SHOW.

With each nation blaming the other, Bond travels secretly to a remote Japanese island in order to find the perpetrators... Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] VERDI: OTELLO Friday 9 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Franco Zeffirelli and Placido Domingo unite their talents in this lavish production of Verdi's opera based on Shakespeare's play depicting the devastating effects of jealousy.

Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval: $10.00 THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG Thursday 15 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. The latest film in the saga! Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and thirteen dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield continue their journey to reclaim the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. Along the way, they encounter the skin-changer Beorn, giant spiders of Mirkwood, wood elves led by Legolas and a mysterious man named Bard. Finally reaching the Lonely Mountain, they face their greatest danger - the Dragon Smaug. But where has Gandalf got to?... And what is his secret business to the south?...

CHERUBINI: MEDEA Friday 16 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Medea is a notorious figure from Greek mythology, a sorceress whose main claim to fame is the event that brings down the curtain on Cherubini's opera: she murders her own children. And that's only the last part of her story. So it's perhaps not surprising that of all the music Cherubini wrote in a distinguished career lasting more than 60 years, it's Medea for which he's best remembered. Written in 1797, the opera was highly esteemed by composers such as Beethoven and Brahms, and the latter summed it up as "the height of dramatic music".

Rego during his meeting with Cde. Langa which lasted for 20 minutes also briefed the Minister on the rapid development that has taken place at the Academy during the past 3 months and was all praise for Bulawayo business mogul Raj Modi who has been the financial backbone of the multi-sports structure.

Constructing an all-weather hockey and soccer sports facility, viewing gallery for spectators and a live-in dormitory facility for children traveling to Bulawayo to enjoy their sport in an atmosphere and ambience unparalleled to any other sporting facility in the country is on our future development agenda says Rego. The sleepy city of Kings is now a home to a high profile sporting facility, the best Africa has seen, reviving corporate sponsored leagues, club cricket tournaments, social cricket and encourages corporate companies to host recreational night fun cricket in the net practice area under refurbished lights in an ambience and atmosphere truly world class.
