The Trustees of Rhodesians Worldwide (United Kingdom and Ireland) are happy to announce that this years Annual Braai will be held over the weekend of the 18 - 20 July.

The do is to be held at Leedons Park, Childswickham Road, Broadway, Worcestershire (in the Cotswolds). It looks a super place, with more and better facilities than any other we have used before (heated outdoor swimming pool, mini market with off licence, TV room, cafeteria/takeaway, teenagers games room, tennis court, children's play fort, 3 large modern ablution blocks, kitchen wash-up area and launderette).

There are, we believe, a limited number of static caravans on site, which should be available to us, and considerable numbers of B & B establishments in the area.

A sub-committee of 4 Trustees is running the event but, unfortunately, we have yet to decide costs, scoff, etc., before we can give sufficient detail (and a booking form, which will be available here on THE BAOBAB as well as from Branch Secretaries).

Watch Zimbabwe face England for five days of real cricketing class. As you'd expect, this is a contest of sportsmen at the top of their game. Drama, excitement and tension are guaranteed. At the end of a days play, you can celebrate or commiserate with some of the friendliest locals and best nightlife in the country. Newcastle's been included in a list of the world's top ten party cities - so it's no surprise it has a booming late-night scene.
