Dear Friends of Hillside Dams and Corporate Community,
We are reaching out to you in urgent need of assistance. The recent rains have brought life to Hillside Dams Conservancy, but unfortunately, it has also led to an overgrowth of grass and shrubbery. Our walking trails, which were once a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, are now impassable.We are appealing to your generosity and community spirit to help us restore the conservancy to its former glory. We require assistance in two key areas:
1. *Grass Cutters*: We need reliable and efficient grass cutters to help us clear the overgrown vegetation. If you have equipment or can donate funds to purchase or rent machinery, please let us know.
2. *Manpower*: We require volunteers to help us clear the trails and restore the conservancy. If you can spare a few hours or days to help us, please join our efforts.
We are grateful for any assistance you can provide. Please contact us to discuss how you can help.
Thank you
Bernadette
Conservation Manager

Balletomanes Return
As young children growing up we certainly all loved our ballet and I read with interest your article above - bringing back many happy memories.
I started (and was never built to be a ballerina!) my dancing in Chakari and was taught by Gillian Coombes. I need to ask my sisters if I am correct in my memory and certainly if I have got this wrong or if they can add anything I shall ask them to put me straight. Our ballet lessons were always a delight and we did participate in the Royal Ballet School exams which I think were taken in Gatooma (now Kadoma). I think Gertrude Chimavitz (spelling) may have owned the Ballet school there. Somewhere I think I may have a book and the odd certificate so, one day if I can dig them out I can send a photo if you are interested.
In the meanwhile, thank you for bringing back fond memories of our ballet lessons and also shows, all those many years ago! I remember my mother (and her friends whose daughters also attended the classes) spending many hours making costumes and tutus, sewing on shiny threads and sequins for Christmas end of year shows. Many years after the dancing had stopped, the hall in Gatooma became the Gold Star ( ) Sugar Distribution depot and for some reason my grandparents ran that for a few years. I delighted returning there to see the stage where once we danced! I wonder what has become of that now

JANUARY 2025
Oh My Goodness this has been a glorious January!
Rain has poured down almost every day this month, it has been an invigorating, ebullient month for the community.
I even overheard a farmer's wife saying 'I will never complain of too much rain ever again'.
Possibly one of the most exciting community inspirations has been the 'Zimbabwe Rain Records' WhatsApp group. With 134 members, Patriotic Zimbabweans rush to post their daily rain gauge booty!!
We are so focussed on our water privileges that we even post the 1mm readings!! However the falls are usually much more - 20 mm, 30 mm 40mm, in some places 102mm!!
The total readings vary from area to area, from suburb to suburb. Much competition is involved ! HeeHoo cannot wait to compare his daily rain swag calibrations with like minded rain-loving folk at the office!
Possibly one of the most exciting aspects of La Nina's largesse is that our desolate dams are filling, some faster than others according to the rainfall gods. The little dams are first to fill - Hillside Dams, Lakeside in Lochview, Maleme in Matopos, resulting in hordes of day trippers streaming out to witness these miraculous happenings first hand. And we watch with great trepidation as the Ncemas, Inyankuni, Mtshabezi, Mayfair, slowly fill millimetre by millimetre. Here I am being horribly parochial as these are only the dams around Bulawayo that I am mentioning.
Lake Kariba is an icon all of its own. It has a horrifying recent history of drought, unwarranted spillage, mechanical and gigantic structural problems and we hold our breath that the catchment area in Zambia can result in a new era of relief with Nyaminyami looking after us.
Zoom Earth is our most watched app as we scan the rainfall patterns with meticulous precision. Mind you we are not all addicted to technology, many of us Boomers still hold fast that it is the Rain Cactus aka Queen of the Night that is the still the unequivocal rainfall predictor!!
The snails are exceptionally happy, some as big as a fist, they parade triumphantly through the gardens, munching contentedly on delicious water logged plants.
'Life isn't like waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain!!
Dance Zimbabwe dance!!
2) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds
RIP Rohan Cooper, of Stadhampton, Oxfordshire (formerly Bulawayo and a great marathon runner) passed away on 31st October 2024. Rohan was a keen outdoors person and liked to visit and camp in the Matopos.

-- Galaxy Quest remains one of the Greatest Sci-Fi comedies of All Time. [Esquire]

-- An exceptionally funny science-fiction comedy. [San Francisco Examiner]
-- Effects and production design are splendidly integrated into the overall enterprise, which is even more enjoyable for being so unexpected. [Time Out]
Admission: US$3.00
FRIDAY 24 JANUARY AT 6.30 P.M. CONCERT: MUSIC BY RAVEL AND SHOSTAKOVICH
Maurice Ravel was born on 7 March 1875 and Dmitri Shostakovich died on 9 August 1975. The programme includes Ravel's Bolero, perhaps his most popular piece and Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, one of his finest, as well as his Second Piano Concerto, a delightful romp with a particularly lovely slow movement.
Shostakovich: Piano Conceto No.2 in F major, Op.102
Ravel: Le Tombeau de Couperin - Suite
Ravel: Bolero
Shostakovich: Symphony No.5 in D minor, Op.47
- This is glorious stuff [Shostakovich]. I want to go out into the highways and hedges and compel my neighbours to come in, 'cos I don't care where they start from, they'd be captivated. Gergiev has created a superb orchestra, and these are performances as good as you'll find anywhere. [Amazon]
Admission: US$3.00 [free to Red Carpet Members]
THURSDAYS 30 JANUARY, 7 & 14 FEBRUARY AT 6.30 P.M. THE TUNNEL - SERIES 2: SABOTAGE
You don't need to have seen Series 1! - 'It certainly can easily be watched as a stand-alone' (IMDb)
Newly promoted Commander Elise Wassermann and laconic but brilliant DCI Karl Roebuck reunite to investigate the case of a French couple abducted from the Eurotunnel, leaving behind their traumatised young daughter. But when a plane carrying British and French passengers crashes in the Channel, killing everyone on board, they have far bigger questions to answer. The pair pick their way through clues thrown up by a vast field of debris, forging connections as they go. But sinister and complicated forces are at play and in a terrifying game of brinksmanship, Karl and Elise will have to risk everything in the pursuit of true justice.
-- The second season is actually better than the first. Tighter scenario, less holes, more character interaction and we get to see more of the female cop's character. [Rotten Tomatoes]
-- The Tunnel: Sabotage, the second series, strikes a far more confident stride than the first and gets 10 out of 10 It certainly can easily be watched as a stand-alone, has a thoroughly interesting, plausible yet riveting plot and is full of perfect performances from perfectly cast characters. [IMDb]
-- The second season is better than the first. The chemistry between the main character blossoms and the story line is interesting and each episodes pushes the story forward instead of revisiting the same issues. [Amazon]
Admission: US$3.00/ US$7.00 the series [free to Film Members]
FRIDAY 31 JANUARY AT 6.30 P.M. OKLAHOMA!
Set in Oklahoma Territory shortly after the turn of the 20th century, the renowned 1955 film it tells the story of farm girl Laurey Williams (Shirley Jones) and her courtship by two rival suitors, cowboy Curly McLain (Gordon MacRae) and the sinister and frightening farmhand Jud Fry (Rod Steiger). A secondary romance concerns Laurey's friend, Ado Annie (Gloria Grahame), and cowboy Will Parker (Gene Nelson), who also has an unwilling rival.
-- 'Oklahoma!' is a fresh and lively as ever. [Village Voice]
-- This rousing film version of the massively influential and, in its day, revolutionary Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway musical preserves both the magnificent songs and the key Agnes DeMille choreography. [Radio Times]
-- In spite of its age, 'Oklahoma!' hollers itself home as a handsome piece of entertainment. [Time]
-- A full-bodied 'Oklahoma!' has been brought forth in this film to match in vitality, eloquence and melody any musical this reviewer has ever seen. [New York Times]
Admission: US$3.00 [free to Film & Red Carpet Members]

"Stringed Moments" with Barbs
Thurday 30th January - 5pm - free entrance, wine offered
The Stringed Moments project is inspired by the lived experiences of Barbs, which range from surviving cervical cancer, endometriosis, a hysterectomy, a divorce, abuse, cardiac arrests and even living with an autoimmune disease. Each challenge came with its own set of lessons, but she's continually seen the power that comes with redefining and rebuilding your identity on your own terms. She has made it her life work to create space for this transformation for those searching for a better way to be, and Stringed Moments is a manifestation of that purpose.
Bold Dialogue is an intuitive wellness platform that facilitates healing, ignites hope and brings the possibility of boldly living a life that honours your passions and dreams. "We work with women across Africa, equipping them with the support, mentorship and tools required to transcend trauma in order to truly operate from a place of excellence" states Barbs.
"We are going to use letters written to various people who had a hand in traumatising the writer to invoke healing conversations with the crowd. We also hope to bring emotional catharsis to the listeners. This series of letters is called Stringed Moments".
The Cool Crooners, live @ Alliance.
Friday 31st January - 6pm
Free entrance.

ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSIC
Tel: 2260684 / 2267195 E-mail: music@gatorzw.co.uk
The Academy offices re-opened at 8.30 a.m. on Monday 6 January; the Academy's first term begins on Monday 20 January and ends on Friday 4 April.
Contact the office for details of lessons and charges.
Prices at the Academy have to be increased slightly in 2025! - fees, rents, hall hire, concerts.. and DVDs which will now be $3.00 per evening. BUT tickets will continue to be available in blocks of four at $10.00 so in effect there's little change
THURSDAY 9 JANUARY AT 6.30 P.M. LIVE AND LET DIE
As usual, the Academy kicks off the new term with James Bond! - this time the first of the series to star Roger Moore as 007. When Bond investigates the murders of three fellow agents, he finds himself a target, evading vicious assassins as he closes in on powerful Kananga. Known on the streets as Mr. Big, Kananga is coordinating a global threat, using tons of self-produced heroin. As Bond tries to unravel the mastermind's plan, he meets Solitaire (Jane Seymour), a beautiful tarot-card reader, whose magic is crucial to the crime lord.
-- It's a solid adventure, and Moore fits smoothly into the role of Bond. It's an enjoyable film, and that's really all you could ask for.
-- There are some splendid action sequences, notably a speedboat leap that set a new world record, as well as the usual array of hi-tech gadgetry. [Radio Times]
-- Roger Moore's first 007 job is still top entertainment. [Total Film]
-- A film that ranks with the best Bonds. [BBC.com]
-- Moore acquits himself in a larger than life adventure peppered with enjoyably rotten gags and lots of playful action. [Film4]
Admission: US$3.00 [free to Film Members]
FRIDAY 10 JANUARY AT 6.30 P.M. PROKOFIEV: CINDERELLA
Marianela Nunez and Vadim Muntagirov star as Cinderella and The Prince in Frederick Ashton's timeless reworking of Charles Perrault's famous rags-to-riches story, showcasing the choreographer's deft musicality and the beauty of Prokofiev's transcendent score. A creative team steeped in the magic of theatre, film, dance and opera brings new atmosphere to Cinderella's ethereal world of fairy godmothers and pumpkin carriages, handsome princes and finding true love.
-- Choreographed to Prokofiev's gloriously eloquent score, this most Ashtonian of ballets is one of the gems in the company's repertoire and now The Royal Ballet marks its 75th anniversary with a brand-new production. It is magnificent. [Culture Whisper]
-- The entire company rises to the challenge of Ashton's intricate choreography with some aplomb. You can see how hard it is, how fast he makes their feet work.. [The Guardian]
-- Marianela Nunez creates a delicate Cinderella who seems to float on the air as she delivers Ashton's complex pointe work. Nunez's line is exquisite and she inhabits the vulnerability and pathos of the part as she birdlike echoes the flute. [London Unattached]
-- The Royal Ballet's new look Cinderella went live at a gala that celebrated 75 years of Sir Frederick Ashton's 1948 production. It was a glittery and glamorous occasion and it is good to report that there was plenty of sparkle in the dancing too. An undoubted triumph for The Royal Ballet. I'm sure Ashton would have been thrilled. [Bachtrack.com]
Admission: US$3.00 [free to Red Carpet Members
THURSDAY 16 JANUARY AT 6.30 P.M. THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL
Sonny sets his eye on opening a second residence for the elderly, but finds the project requires more time than he can spare. Meanwhile, Evelyn and Douglas wonder where their relationship is going, Norman and Carol try to remain exclusive, Madge juggles two rich suitors, and the single remaining vacancy poses a problem for two new arrivals - and the demands of Sonny's traditional Indian wedding threaten to overwhelm them all..
-- The older actors are, of course, perfect. They never overplay the comedy or the drama, and this reserve works in counterpoint to Dev Patel's high-energy patter. [TV Guide]
-- I'd love to see a third "Marigold" adventure. Better yet, a TV series, where we get to spend an hour every week with the regulars at the hotel and various newcomers who stop in. [Chicago Sun-Times]
-- It is smart, funny, and tremendously beautiful to look at. [Cinema76]
-- Sequels often shoot themselves in the foot when they retread ground already covered by their predecessors; heightened whimsy, airiness and positivity are what distinguish Second Best from The Best. [Way Too Indie]
Admission: US$3.00 [free to Film Members]
FRIDAY 17 JANUARY AT 6.30 P.M. MOZART: LA FINTA GIARDINIERA
Mozart's La finta giardiniera, the ninth of his 22 operas (!) was first performed 250 years ago on 13 January 1775, days before his 19th birthday. The title is translates as 'The Pretend Garden-Girl' and the story centres on Count Belfiore and Violante who were formerly lovers before Belfiore stabbed Violante in a lovers' tiff. Violante is disguised as the gardener Sandrina and confronts Belfiore, who is by this point engaged to Arminda, niece of the town magistrate.
-- Three hours of pure happiness. [La Croix]
-- The director mercifully refrains from 'clever' gags. The characters, all clad in contemporary white costumes with their chaotic relationships clearly drawn, seem natural stage animals. Haim encourages playing of energy and colour from her period band and works up a fine comic lather in the act finales. [Gramophone]
-- The production is simple, effective, attractive and takes no liberties with the plot. Emanuelle Haim conducts Le Concert d'Astree with great exuberance, keeping the whole thing fizzing along. [Amazon]
Admission: US$3.00 [free to Red Carpet Members]
