Hi JY
You attending ? Very Happy

90th

Smoko,

I’m considering it, my issue is that the lecturer is somewhat entrenched in the old theories regarding iSandlwana. So I might be at variance with some of his conclusions.

If I do go I will endeavour to get some descendants along.

Are booking a ticket?

JY

JY, take Gary's little 'bit on the side' sure she would love it. May even learn something., She not you!

By the way Im in RD at the end of the month for a few days.

Hi JY
I thought so as well . That would be a great idea if you can get some descendants to go along . No ticket for me , saving up for KZN in June . Salute

Hi Frank
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA , Not sure JY will be happy you referring to his ' Date ' as a little ' Bit on the side ' ! Joker

Frank,

There are folk here who are more than interested with the current building situation, or lack of it. Others, within KZN, who are attempting to use their influence to propose a repositioning of the project to the plateau. So we would appreciate up-to-date photographs please.

Smoko,

I wouldn’t tread on your toes, she’s all yours.

JY

Not a problem John. Incidently I think its been a long time since the lady in question has seen her own toes.

John'I mean to mention that I picked up an old book by Eric Rosenthal: Victorian South Africa, A collection of 149 engravings. there are a few ive never seen before, I will scan and send of.

Hi JY & Frank
I'm also keen to see what's happened with the building since I was there , I would be very interested to see some pics . I don't know why they didn't use the Plateau in the first place , if it has to be somewhere stick it there , not on the bloody Battlefield !

PS . Be nice Frank ....that's JY's fault , he spoils her rotten at the dinner table ! hahahahahaha

I did indeed, it was not what I was expecting with the way it had been billed.
