Dear Friends
INVITATION : FROM THE HERMAN CHARLES BOSMAN LITERARY SOCIETY IN GROOT MARICO
BOSMAN WEEKEND 16 - 18 OCTOBER 2009
|
|
Once again we are drawing attention to a forthcoming Marico event, the Bosman weekend, now in it's sixteenth year. Our endeavour is to present this celebration as an intercalary event, outside the successive flow of time - a present linking past and future - in short, a piece of eternity tied up in gift wrapping for your delectation. |
Bookings are now open for the Bosman Weekend in October in Groot Marico.
( See programme and booking arrangements below this message )
It will be noticed that the format remains similar to that of previous years, but an attempt has been made to bring about a renewal of content.
As everybody knows by now , this, and all future Bosman events will have to take place without the enlivening presence of Patrick Mynhardt, and part of this year's programme will be devoted to a tribute to Patrick.
This year the programme for the annual Bosman Weekend will be featuring an interesting variety of performances, lectures, workshops, an art exhibition and music. There will also be time to share at a leisurely pace, the company, the ambience of bush and fireplace - and excellent performances by well known artists included in the weekend package.
The show on Saturday night will feature David Butler in a totally revamped version of “Teacher in the Bushveld’ directed by Nicky Rebelo. The show premiered at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown this year with great acclaim.
Another show on our programme, which drew full houses in this year’s Grahamstown Festival, is “ Tribute to Bosman and Mynhardt” by Angus Douglas, Tim Sandham and Johann Mynhardt.
The entertainment is all based on the Bosman inspiration: the atmosphere and culinary fare promise to be authentic Marico bosveld.
Attached you will find more info on the weekend and booking arrangements, as well as a list of accommodation options. The final programme will be on our web www.marico.co.za as from the 12 th August 09 with more information on the different shows and performers.
Please make your accommodation arrangements through the Information Centre to assist us to coordinate the weekend more effectively.
Be so kind as to forward the information about the weekend to those that may be interested. Bookings will be done on a first come first serve basis, as available facilities can only accommodate a limited number of guests.
Looking forward to hear from you.
