ZIMFEST LONDON - SPORT AND ACTIVITIEShttp://www.zimfestlive.com/images/pixel_trans.gif
ZIMFEST 7s RUGBY TOURNAMENT- SIGN UP TODAY!

Zimfest 7s is here again! After the Raynes Park RFC victory in 2007 there are a number of contenders to lift the cup. This tournament is strictly a social sevens tournament which means that anyone can play so long as they are there to have fun. There is a reduced entry of GBP 10 per person into Zimfest instead of GBP 20 to GBP 30 so it is a big discount. When you register your team we will send you payment instructions, and upon payment we will send out your team's entry wristbands.

Arse.. who is going to hold me up.. there is a decided risk that they might not run out of cider this year...

Why would any man, especially a Zimbabwean man, be worried about a lack of cider?

Why would any man, especially a Zimbabwean man, be worried about a lack of cider?

Cause that is what we resorted to after they ran out of beer.. take it as a personal challenge to finish it off... but need assistance. AS was that man last time...

It was my mission and I chose to accept it..

And also I don't get as bloated on cider as I do on lager.. and they didn't have many shorts last time - they really need to get the drinks and food situation sorted though...

Just tried to purchase two tickets for zimfest on the wezim site, once again there are problems and it would not accept two cards which work very well - tanks very much.

Given up and posted off a cheque to them, also emailed them to say - it's a bugger up mate sort it out...

You have been warned.

I did... but I cannot function properly yet... breathing and seeing are barely fine to do at the same time... writing seems to be ok but all other items are a bit beyond me currently....

Normal service will resume once my head stops trying to explode... or implode..

Was a strange Fest to say the least... hobo shamwaris there, good dops and many laughs.. not sure why it seems different.. maybe it's because I can remember everything.. that's not right..

Back to bed now... :smiley11:

Your wish is my command MB

I set off wearing sandals convinced the sun would shine. By 8pm my feet were so cold they turned blue and my teeth were chattering. So I set off on a 'find some socks' mission and visited every stall. An hour later I found a stall with knitted goodies and they offered me these bed socks for £1.00 which I gratefully accepted. Sheer bliss, warm tootsies. I did, however get a few looks from peeps on the train/tube who couldn't quite work out what was going on.....

I completely forgot to take the camera, but there wasn't much wild going on at our zimfest anyway. I think Biff basically captured everything in his photos...except for the cold, it was freezing over here.

£3 a beer is pretty cheap when I was paying £3.50 a beer at walkies during the rugby (until of course I brought a boomerang card and started drinking Steinlager :d )

In perth the Castles were $5 and Windhoek was $4 thats about £3.20 & £2.80 in relative terms.

for some reason i just didnt like the taste of Castle... after my 8th one it started to taste like barbed wire..

I'll bet that the Castle was beyond its sell by date or been refrigerated for too long.?

R12 to R15 (£1) each for a can of Castle is what we would pay in CT at a function like that.
