• Food

  Windsor Castle Hotel

  The Windsor Castle is an old favourite. Really impressive food. Great atmosphere in the dining room. With the fire place inside, find a cosy pocket to sit in on these cold winter nights.
  Outside - best beer garden around.
  Where: Just look for those pink elephants!

  Help Save Zimbabwe

  The Zimbabwean people are in trouble.

  We must join together to call upon the United Nations Secretary General to instigate action in order to resolve the current situation in Zimbabwe.

  The violent campaign and blatant human rights abuses being carried out against the Zimbabwean people have to stop.

  The United Nations Secretary General must take urgent action to stabilise and secure this situation to allow a believable, free and fair election to be held.

  Time is of the essence! People are being beaten, tortured and murdered. Many others are destitute and millions of people are being deprived of food.

  Sometimes a small action, that is of little effort to us individually, has the potential for a great consequence to others, when we all join together. Our hope is that our small combined efforts, as people of all nations, will be more effective than one nation alone.
