Matjiesfontein for some weekend entertainment.. you still can.

Talking about sport activities.. the Tennis Court in Matjiesfontein is still open for a fun contribution.. here are some images from last years tennis championships.


The tennis court is available as HOT location for something to happen on this year.. let US know if you keen for it..

SOUND KING

This is Gilad. He is sleeping now in preparation for Matjiesfontein. You probably know him because everyone does. He is the moody bassist from The Buckfever Underground . He is also the guy to speak to about sound and music equipment issues at this year's Show 'n Tell. Please email Gil if you have any queries about this.

Faces to Names

So we had a planning meeting last night.
Inge said she was upset because at the Track and Field Party we forgot to announce who the organising committee is, so people can put faces to names. We are an awfully approachable bunch (some claim to be shy) and love to talk and bounce ideas and stuff. So talk and get involved and tell us what you plan to do!

EMAIL US:
Julia 2008 festival director and collaborations hit lady!
John Luke the film director (cc Julia)
Gil the sound director (cc Julia)

Matjies Magnified

to do and not to do

Check out the fantastic portrait studio 2007 for images of last years Show 'n Tell.

Here Steph is with local soccer hero Joseph, who works in the Lord Milner Hotel.

Matjiesfontein is in fact a declared heritage site and the antiques are REAL. We are very honored to have free range of this beautiful space. Thank you to the owner of the town, David Rawdon and all the friendly hotel staff!!!
Most of the people who work in the hotel were born in Matjiesfontein and have been working there most their lives.

Please show respect to the space - staff, hotel ghosts, hotel cat, antiques... ie.. Dont go crashing 10 people in a double room.

To find out more info about hotel (can I bring my dog? (no), does my room have a minibar? etc) call the Lord Milner Hotel directly: 023 5613011.
Jil only does the bookings for us and has never been to the hotel - she does not know where room 13 is.

Lord Milner Hotel

If you feel the hotel rates are a little steep for your pocket just remember you will be staying in an antique victoriana building. The hotel is absolute LUXURY to the max.. also remember that you will not be paying to see any of the fantastic contributions so consider your accommodation your expense for the whole Show 'n Tell experience..
BOOK SOON rooms going going.. g o n

Show N' Tell With Mike( who-ever he is)

Your contribution can be something very simple and does not need to cost much.. just your imagination..

As you know Tania v S will be reading all weekend just like Mike
"I will be reading at the show n tell. I will need a comfortable place from
which to operate... bed, chaise longue or sinking couch...indoors or
outdoors & I am happy to be placed wherever my skills are needed."

Nadine and her gang will also be hosting a pillow fight - bring pillows!



Having a feeling that this is going to be serious fun

tonite only

Kimberly Hotel - Cape Town

Nadine


Nadine and her crew are also planning a number of other things.. watch the space for the rest - coming up soon...

Miss Texas 1977 - yeeha!

"My name is gene kierman and my sister and I have a band called Miss Texas 1977 and we're going to sing for our supper.

I have no idea where or when but maybe i can get back to you about that.

Gene "

" I am going to be djing, as I did last year - my set will consist mainly of vintage swing, rock 'n' roll and sixties soul."


"Bryn and I also have plans to do a projection of old western films with an interactive element - more details and an example to go on the blog soon. "

S'nT+T'nF

Track'nField + Show'nTell + Dave'nRockstarbdayparty = one very BIEEEEG partytjie!
dont miss it

Veld 'n Flora + Show 'n Tell = Happy Times!

On the very same night as our warm up event, one of our dedicated Matjies is having his Debut Photography Exhibition at the BHC school of Design at the Old Biscuit Mill. Greg Nicolson will be displaying and selling some of his fine botanical photography in order to raise funds for his big walk from the Namibia to Cape Town. The opening is at 18:30 so there is plenty of time to take in the exhibition before heading to town. The exhibition will still be on display the following morning while the Neighbourgoods market is open. Bring a friend and support a worthy cause and fellow Matjie!

To find out more about the exhibition or the walk, click here.

Show 'n Tell + Track 'n Field

The Matjiesfontein organising committee will be down at the Kimberley Hotel on Friday at the Track and Field Party. Come for a drink in the downstairs bar beforehand (9pm onwards) as this will be the perfect opportunity to discuss contributions and have any questions regarding accommodation answered. And if for some awful reason you can't make it this year... come anyway! We'll be your shoulder to cry on. Hope to see you all there!

New York...New York

there's a good chance that my contribution this year will have to be beamed up from new york.
fingers crossed that i'm back in time ....LIVE&DIRECT!

This is Stuart ( in action on the dance floor at Show 'n Tell 2007)

Stuart makes beautiful models - and has lots of great tools for building things..
email him if you would like him to build you something for your contribution

"I can make/build whatever there might be to make for maatjies...so please let me know if anybody require a builder of sorts and I will be happy to help... along with a bottle of gilbeys.
Let me know.
Stuart."
