Hi Everyone

A date for your diary. The weekend 20-21 April 2013.

Our initial thoughts are to have a themed AZW in Brecon over that weekend in the Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh in Brecon.

On the Saturday (20th April) at 0930 we'll be at Llantarnum Church (near Cwmbran) for the official unveiling of the new headstone for John Williams VC.

On Saturday afternoon - the 1879 Group will populate the Museum to enhance our AZW display. We've re-done the layout of the room with some new cabinets and a 48 square foot model of Rorke's Drift.

Saturday evening - the customary curry !

On the Sunday at about 10am Dr Jay Pinto will be showing the black and white documentary "The Making of Zulu". This was a film made in 1964 to help publicise the main film, though it never got finished or shown at the time. There are some amazing bits showing the construction of the set, the training of the extras, and some pieces deleted from the final production copy of the film. This will be a rare opportunity to see this unique film.

Following that we are hoping to show a 5 reel version of "Zulu" (fingers crossed !)

No booking - and the normal £4 entry fee will apply.

More details will appear as we tie up the loose ends.

Bill
