WATCHDOG

Wonder if you or any of your readers can assist me, I have been trying to find an address for Mike Chadwick, who used to live in Bulawayo, he was a Wood Carver and also went by the title Chief Mopani' He had many Exhibitions of his work in Bulawayo and Harare back in the 70s and 80s I remember. I do have two of his early pieces,
and I think that I heard that he came back to UK. But everything that I have tried has drawn a blank so far,
Any chance that your readers may know of his whereabouts, of course he may no longer be with us
Many thanks Mags,
Graham Rowe (ex ZITF) now living in London.

I lived in Bulawayo in the sixties( perhaps before your time). In later years my mother, Helen Williams ran the RSPCA shop there.
During my time in Bulawayo I was friendly with the Du Preez family who I seem to remember lived in Pauling Road Suburbs ( though it may have been another road) I think Mrs Du Preez taught at Evelyn School..She also wrote books for children.. She had two children, Moya and Phillip..Like me they would be in their seventies now.
I have lived in Europe ( France) for many years now but often wonder what became of my Bulawayo friends.
I wonder if you might have known the Du Preez family and what became of them
I have enjoyed reading your articles. They stir memories..Hence my letter.

Regards from Paris.

2) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds

BULAWAYO BOY - BRUCE MILLAR , admired by many for his contribution to the theatrical world , passed away on Thursday 16 November , a month before his 78th birthday .

Bruce 's acting career began when he was Macbeth at Northlea School . Of some interest is the fact that Bruce took his ' A ' Levels at Eveline High School - the first ( and only ) male pupil there !
He gained a degree from Bristol University and took part in various stage productions before he had starring roles in shows such as ' Godspell ' and especially ' Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour DreamCoat ' .
He also made quite a few records before beginning his radio performances on SABC : ' The BigBig Brunch ' was very popular .
In April last year, Bruce was diagnosed with Alzheimers and was well looked after at Silwood Lodge in Johannesburg , where his daughter , Natasha , lives with her husband and young son .
Bruce's son , Matthew , is married and living in the USA .

A LIVESTREAM IS POSSIBLE PLEASE CONSULT HEATHER OR NATASHA BELOW.

Heather Taylor ( Bruce's sister ) : hmt52cardwell@gmail.com
Natashe Lurie ( Bruce's daughter ) : natasha@ypojhbc.co.za

4) Notices and Events

FRIDAY 24 NOVEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. POPPIN' CHRISTMAS!
An early celebration of Christmas (before the school term ends!) which will be in the grounds weather permitting (otherwise the hall) and feature both Academy and Girls' College students in a programme of Christmas favourites under the rousing leadership of Jeanette Delport!
Admission: US$2.00 - donations welcome!

THURSDAY 30 NOVEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. THE FOUR MUSKETEERS: MILADY'S REVENGE
The sequel picks up almost exactly where The Three Musketeers left off - in fact the two films were originally intended as one but a running time of over three-and-a-half hours was thought too much! Our four swashbuckling heroes once again they do battle with the devious Cardinal Richelieu and his evil accomplice Milady de Winter, who are determined to wreak a terrible revenge after being foiled in their plan to discredit the queen.
A grand mixture of adventure and comedy. [Journal and Courier]
The conclusion to The Three Musketeers is an equally satisfying romp.
Forget all other Musketeer films of the past century. These are the pinnacle. [FilmCritic.com]
Full of wry bits of business and humorous asides, and ironic contrasts, The Four Musketeers has the great benefit of continuity of cast and style and tone, although the tone becomes much darker here. [Amazon]
Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members]

FRIDAY 1 DECEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. LA FILLE MAL GARDEE
The ballet is set on a farm and tells a story of love between Lise (the daughter of Widow Simone) and Colas, a young farmer. It contains some of Sir Frederick Ashton's most inventive choreography, most strikingly in the series of energetic pas de deux that express the youthful passion of the young lovers, performed here by Marianela Nunez and Carlos Acosta. The ballet is laced with exuberant good humour, and elements of national folk dance, from dancing chickens and a maypole dance to a Lancashire clog dance for Widow Simone. Osbert Lancaster's colourful designs heighten the production's delightful pastoral wit and the ballet's premiere in 1960 was a resounding success; over sixty years later, it remains a firm favourite of The Royal Ballet's repertory.
It would take a spectacularly clod-footed cast to give a bad performance of Ashton's La fille mal gardee - so expert is the ballet's construction that it is almost dancer-proof. With Carlos Acosta and Marianela Nunez, Fille moves on a straight, joyous line from barnyard to bed [Guardian]
There's no denying Nunez's clarity of line, her wit and fascinating suppleness, star allure fashioned by intelligence. Acosta, who must have been charismatic in the womb, never overplays the innate manliness of Colas, yet can't help but stun with his giddying leaps and almost indecently natural stage sense. [The Arts Desk]
Nunez is at her radiant best in romantic comedy. Her fleet, frisky feet make light of the filigree pointework, her jump has bliss-driven buoyancy and every pirouette is a physical expression of the character's sunlit self-confidence - most especially in the cornfield ensemble, where she becomes the nerveless hub of a happy human maypole while her audience coos with pleasure. [Telegraph]
Frederick Ashton's sixty-year-old Fille is still as fresh as a daisy, and as bright and cheerful as the sunflowers lined up against the wall of Osbert Lancaster's pop-up picture book set. The dancing is superb, the characterization not overdone, the acting and mime flowing naturally from the situations, and the dancers look as if they are enjoying every minute, carrying us along with them. [Dance Tabs]
Admission: US$2.00 [free to Red Carpet Members]

SATURDAY 1 DECEMBER AT 10.10 A.M. STUDENT CONCERT
The usual end-of-term concert will feature vocal soloists plus performers on piano, guitar, trumpet and more!
Admission: US$1.00

WEDNESDAY 6 DECEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. RECITAL: BRADLEY DUBE (PIANO)

C.P.E.Bach: Solfeggietto
Mozart: Rondo alla Turca
Beethoven: Piano Sonata No.1 in F minor
Liszt: Liebestraum No.3
Rachmaninov: Prelude in C sharp minor

Admission: US$5.00 [proceeds to the furtherance of Bradley's studies]
