Bar has burnt down !! Bulawayo's Favourite Watering Hole - the Bulawayo Athletic Club Members Bar and Billiard room burnt down last weekend in Bulawayo. Residents living close to Bulawayo Athletic Club in 12th Avenue Bulawayo on Sunday night, were horrified to see a bright glow emanating from the centre of the club buildings. Although the fire was attended to by the Bulawayo fire Brigade, a large part of this historic club was destroyed by the fire which was believed to have been started by an electrical fault. Over 100 years of Athletic events have taken place at this club, one of the very first sports clubs in Bulawayo formed in 1894. The Club has for a century offered cricket, tennis, bowls, squash and billiards and was a significant venue for many international sporting events. The cosy members bar was totally destroyed, as was the delightful snooker room with two magnificent full size billiard tables, although the cocktail bar was saved, as was the Walkden Hall, the squash courts, the changing rooms and the familiar veranda from whence countless friendly and not so friendly cricket matches have been supported for over one hundred years !! Sadly an enormous amount of stock from the bar was destroyed in the blaze and the sound of bottles exploding could be heard from afar. Now this is crisis material with many loyal BAC regulars who will be most unhappy not to be able to prop themselves up in their favourite corner, and order copious quantities of Castle Pilsener from Neville the worlds best barman for the past 37 years !! BAC Chairman - Trevor Williams and the committee have resolved to do their best to get the club up and running again as soon as possible, in spite of the awful economic climate in Zimbabwe. The club is hoping to start a small web site for BAC in the hope that ex BAC stalwarts worldwide might dig deep to help rebuild this historic portion of Bulawayo's sporting history. enquiries e mail Peter (Salty) Ward:- prward@netconnect.co.zw N.B. See photos of the fire on the B.A.C. website - http://www.bac.africanherd.com ++++++++++++ ++ Does anyone have any photos, data on BAC in order that these might be inserted on the new BAC website ? e mail ++++++++ MOUNTAIN BARBIES The Bulawayo Mountain Barbies are Monica Midlane Frances Randall Carole Davies & Michelle Keefe. We continue the story ---- Off to the Matopos .... a gaggle of sun-screened, chatting, hatted and happy Steel Matopas Magnolias! The routes are varied and the weather gorgeous and as Martin Sanderson does with his Grade 6's on Camp, it becomes a rule that at the top of every "gomo" there is at least a minute of absolute quietness - the silence is deafening and we are humbled in such majesty. The sad reality is that it has taken us climbing a mountain in another country to appreciate and explore what is right on our doorstep and with every single hike and climb, we have sat at the top in awe. Mesmerised, stunned and moved at the same time. There have been times where there have even been a few tears as we sit and quietly contemplate the future of our beloved country and appreciate what we do have as opposed to winging about what we don't have. Even the most agnostic person cannot deny that in this special place - one is closer to God. The picnic at the top of the Gomo varies - freshly baked crunchies from the farmers wife, dried fruit and pumpkin seeds from the health fanatic, salami, dry wors and biltong from the Atkins Advocate, the packet of lobels biscuits from the Mom in a Rush, and rich creamy carrot cake from the Domestic Goddess who makes Nigella squirm! The next challenge as part of the "training" was the Trans Matopas, organised by Des and Gavin Stephens - The Gomo Gurus of Matopas. Up and down huge dwalas with views that took oiur breath away and through shaded and dappled woods and forests that many do not even know exist. Gavins knowledge of the Matopas is incredible and we listened like awe-struck school children as he patiently explained plants, rock formations, ancient river paths and San and Bantu folklore. Lunch on the second day was spent with the other teams in a fantastic cave. Their eyes bulged as we set up our "picnic" lunch, the food continually bursting forth out of our back packs. Of course we shared our feast, our maternal conscience not comfortable as they sat with their humble sandwich! The cave became a spa as we freshened up with our wet-wipes, brushed and redid our hair, reapplied sun-block and lip ice, trimmed and filed a pesky toenail, changed out of shorts that had unfortunately split causing great hilarity, and we generally just felt like girls again! It was an unforgettable weekend in a magical place like nowhere else in the world and we all agreed that we would do it again in a heartbeat! As excited as we are about climbing Kilimanjaro in less than a month, it was a unanimous vote that the Trans Matopas is a unique experience in itself and a truly memorable part of our "training!". Part 3 to follow next week. ++++++++++++ +++++++++ ++ 2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH I thought people should be aware of what seems to be occurring with these water cuts. When the water comes back into the pipes, a lot of air comes through with with the water upon the initial opening of a tap. Apparently the water meter WHIZZES round then, and of course, it looks like we are using far more than our allocation of water, and being charged for it. One of these days, we'll be cut off and it won't be our fault !! I spoke to a friend who's husband is in the water engineering, pump supply business, and she advised that if you turn each tap on SLOWLY when you need it, not so much air comes through, and then hopefully, the meter won't go round so fast! Have other people had this experience? What are your thoughts? I hope someone in the City Council reads this, but can they fix the problem????

Day in day out we toil and spin just to make ends meet. All that remains are strings of hope; we continue to hope against hope. Maybe there is brilliance ahead of us... In this exhibition, I have tried to highlight some of the activities that people do in their daily lives. I have also tried to comment on various aspects of the society; how people effect or are affected by the conditions they find themselves in. The depiction of the road in most of my paintings is symbolic of all the ups and downs that we face in our daily struggles. This exhibition aims to encourage people to continue working very hard and help each other re-string the broken strings of hope.

Surely we already have the answers to all these questions if we look to our Father in Heaven. His Word is an infinite source of information. May I humbly share what I believe is the problem with our beautiful world and the land we love so much. In Deuteromony 11 v 1 the Lord has said. " Love the Lord your god and keep his requirements, His decrees, His laws and commands ALWAYS." v13 reads. "So if you faithfully OBEY the commands I am giving you today-to love the Lord your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul-then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains , so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied." V 16 continues "Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them." V 26 says. "See I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse----- the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of the Lord your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known. When each of us takes a few serious moments to contemplate the true position of our own lives in relation to the Word of God, it is not difficult to see for ourselves the areas we fall short of the commands of God. Rom 3 v 23. Those who want to study further, look at Chap 28. The curses are upon the unbeliever, the non compliant disobedient. These we do not judge but encourage them to turn in obedience to God. May serious Christians take time to pray for the people of this country. Without God this country will never prosper. Without prayer the Lord will not bring to pass the prophesies that he has spoken to prosper Zimbabwe and its people. SALVATION in every way. For those who think that the Lord Almighty is NOT your God to obey, may you be enlightened to understand that, with the advent of all the natural disasters spoken about by Jesus in Mathew in Ch 24, at present escalating in frequency, there is little time to procrastinate. Now is the time for our people to turn and be healed. 2 Cor 6 v 2. The Lord Bless you. V.C.D. +++++++ Highest Denomination The world's highest denomination note is Hungary 100 Million B-Pengo *, issued in 1946. That's 100,000,000, 000,000,000, 000 Pengo. It was worth about U.S. $0.20 in 1946. Hungary also printed a 1 Milliard B-Pengo *(1,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000 Pengo) note in 1946. Overtaken by inflation, it was never issued. * The European number system differs from the American system for denominations above one million: European 1 milliard = American 1 billion (1,000,000,000) , and European 1 billion = American 1 trillion (1,000,000,000, 000). Thus a B-Pengo or 1 Billion Pengo is really American 1 Trillion Pengo. Lowest Denomination The lowest fractional note is Fiji 1 penny, issued in 1942. The old penny, being 1/240 of a pound, is a lower denomination than other fractional notes based on 1/100th of a basic monetary unit. No Denomination The notes with no denomination - Tatarstan issued a series of currency checks without any denomination printed. Most Zeros The note with the most zeros is a Yugoslavia 500,000,000, 000 Dinara, issued in 1993 with 11 zeros.
