ZIMFEST 2007 – NEW HAPPENINGS!!!

To celebrate 7 years of Zimfest – we've added some fresh new
ideas to the programme



New Acts Added to the Bill - Comrade Fatso, Zuwa , Rudo Music, Soul Train DJs [including Peter Jones 'PJ your DJ', DJ Lloyd Musara, Kelvin Sifelani]

Dance and Cultural tent – Featuring Comrade Fatso all the way from the Book Café in Harare doing a poetry Jam. You also get to try your hand on some mbira and marimba (traditional Zimbabwean instruments). Plus there'll be story telling, theatre and many more things – when the sun sets the space will becomes a serious dance space.

Western Union Zimfest Football Tournament – We have teamed up with Western Union and there is £2000 in prize money up for grabs for the winning team and runners up. You can register on the day to join a team or if you have your own team of 11 get in touch with us zimfest@wezimbabwe.org (http://us.f527.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=zimfest@wezimbabwe.org) [Group Discounts available for teams].

Chill Out Tent – We began worrying about all the dancing that will happen during the day – so we got on the blower to Jenny and the girls and they have agreed to put up a Chill Out Tent – in between dancing you can stop for 15 minutes and get all sorts of massages and straw bales to sit on and just chill out.

Table Football [Slug] – Bar Kick in Shoreditch have kindly agreed to lend us a couple of their tables so that we can have a couple of games at Zimfest. We will have a mini-tournament – so come and show us your skills.

Zimfest After Party - After an awesome day out at the Zimfest, there's always the hassle of knowing where to go next, and how to get there and round up the crew...Well this year, Southern Style Events are taking care of the hassle for the ZimFest Guests. They have organised coaches to collect 300 guests from the ZimFest between 8 and 9:30pm and transport them onto The Trafalgar Arms in Tooting where they'll have Live Bands (Re-coup www.myspace.com/recoup (http://www.myspace.com/recoup)), DJ's, food and flowing drinks till 2am the next morning. Tickets are £10 for the afterparty and this includes your transport to the venue as well as entrance. For more information and tickets, contact Mike Parry on 07894857616 or visit www.southernstyleevents.com/ (http://www.southernstyleevents.com/) [Please Note: while endorsed by WEZIMBABWE this is not a WEZIMBABWE event]

[Chick]

...get your mate in - pass it through the fence and walk in...

Thanks for the ticket info: For any other occassion I would not mind doing this, but as this event is to raise money for charity and organised by Zimbo's - I just couldn't, doesn't seem right.... but sneaking some booze in does - ok ok, mixed up morals here - lol.

[Chick]

lol we did last weekend and are here to surive it, even have pics up on face book to prove it. a little boerrie on the braai, a little wind off the cliff. a slight down pour :) vortex whistle rugby ball, (thrown around at 7am to wake the neighbours up (they wern't very impressed)) and a 7am pint to kick start the day :) followed by an hour of rough sea's, so one piddly night won't hurt :) besides there is a pavillion for the cricket near by ;) where is ur sence of adventure...

[Chick]

Ok, the plan is: Nightape and I are planning on sneaking our own booze into Zimfest: but, do they search backpacks at the gate?

I will be printing up some flyers with TCB info and addie on. Whoever is going to Zimfest can link up with me and take a handfull of flyers to hand around. So give me a shout and let me know if you can help spread the word. Think of it this way: you see a lekker man/woman - don't know how to approach - have flyer in hand - go over and hang them a flyer and chat about the site. Amen, it's a sure fired way to meet and chat with yummies.

Harkey - can I drop some flyers off at your stall for your punters?

is crossing fingers and toes that this warm weather holds until the weekend and we get a sunny fest day.

[dallas]

I have had my tickets since the week they started selling them talk about eager

[dallas]

Yes they search back packs

[Chick]

I'm still waiting for my tickets to be posted, I can see this turning into a drama.

looking for the booze she hid before going to Zimfest 6253

[barto11]

ordered mine last night...hoping they get here in time

[dallas]

if they dont, them just take the reciept to the gate and you will get them there!! but should get them on time mine took 2 weeks

[hoadc]

The weatherman says it should be dry and warm but cloudy!!!!not a bad day for drinking.

[barto11]

thanks dall

[Chick]

Got an email from Zimfest to say I should take some form of ID and I can collect tickets at the gate. Barto, me thinks your ticket will be waiting for you at the gate, so don't forget to take some ID.

If you email zimfest ticket email no and ask wot wot about your ticket they will reply quickly and confirm your booking/ticket. I have printed off their email reply telling me to collect at the gate - just in case.

You gonna hand out some TCB flyers for us Barto?

i've got my online booking confirmation...but i might mail them, or phone them tomorrow...

i'm trying to drum up support to get people to go to the fevertree gig's that are coming up

[Chick]

Good luck with phoning them, I could never get an answer which is why I suggested an email. It says on their info page that anyone ordering tickets after Tuesday will not receive them in the post and must collect at the gate.

Who's fevertree?

[barto11]

I got through to them on tuesday, i was very impressed

Fevertree...possibly the best south african rock band still based in SA, and are touring UK next month...its gonna be great to go to one of their gigs

[Chick]

WHAT - you must have the golden touch on the phone keypad, cause I have been trying for days to get them. So where are the Fevertree gigs gonna be?

Can you answer the previous question re: TCB flyers

[barto11]

I'll post a link up in a few once I have details...the bands marketing guy is apparently gonna be getting in touch with me...

Methinks I might be a little too intoxicated to be handing out TBC flyers

[Chick]

Okey dokey. I will look for you and Richard passed out near the beer tent then. Whilst you lie there in nod land I will paste your entire body with flyers.

[barto11]

on a positive note...my ticket has arrived in chav-land...just need to go and collect it

[yarrumsg]

:( going to miss zimfest :( again... going to have to make a plan for next year :)

[nightape]

I am like a kid here, one more sleep till I'm there Chick! Whoohoo - anyone would think I never got out......

C'mon Barto and Rich, you have to help with the flyers! Just think of all the chicks you could chat up!!

[Chick]

haha...no problemo - on a positive note...my ticket has arrived in chav-land...just need to go and collect it

Coolist. Well done. Don't think Nightape and I won't be finding you two guys, we have a TCB nose and will sniff you out..... watch your backs boys the girls are looking for ya.

Ya, Barto, you meanie you, not offering to hand out flyers......

[Chick]

I am like a kid here, one more sleep till I'm there Chick! Whoohoo - anyone would think I never got out......

C'mon Barto and Rich, you have to help with the flyers! Just think of all the chicks you could chat up!!

LOL. I is excited too Nightape. Just have to clean the flat, make the dinner, get the bedding, hang the curtains and ............ omg never mind!! See you tomorrow - Euston 8.49pm. I will be wearing - a big smile.

[barto11]

btw chick...i'm guessing you know london travel routes better than anyway way else...is the only to get to raynes park from euston on south western??

[Chick]

Barto: use this site to plan your journey.


http://www.tfl.gov.uk/

is thinking she had better do the same. Just remember Barto, if you decide to go to the after party you need to check when the last tube leaves to get you to the train station you leave London from. Tubes close early and some lines are closed at the weekends for repair.

[yarrumsg]

[ I will be wearing - a big smile.

i'd suggeset you have on a little more than that it could get chilly...

[Chick]

Lol. Gweru chicks are used to chilly......

[yarrumsg]

uuuuuuhuh!!! been there done that... left my tshirt....

[dallas]

so excited I wait all year for this

[Chick]

If you need to use the tube to get to Zimfest - check this page first - major repairs on a few lines.

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/tube/tube-all-future.html

Also - don't forget the tubes stop running around 11ist if you go to the after party.

[yarrumsg]

erm.... i thought weekends than ran till 12ish...???

[sally]

who went to the after party?? i was soo tired i didnt make it!!!

[Chick]

erm.... i thought weekends than ran till 12ish...???

It depends on what line and which station you are at. Some lines are under repair over the weekend, so close early. Always best to check first.

the join of not having any trains :) tubes trams, we just get bloody road works...

[Chick]

Through the haze of beery eyes I spotted the coaches awaiting to transport folks to the after party, but luckily some small part of my brain was still working and telling me not to get on the coach. There is nothing worse than having to get across London from south to north on the night bus.
