Rondebosch Boys Prep School presents a cheque to Joy Merryweather for R34 000. R16 000 of this was raised on the civvies day held on that day. We want to thank the Rondebosch Preparatory Community for their amazing generosity.

Joy Merryweather had tea with Conrad Hoenson of Pick 'n Pay, who has not let his wheelchair stand in the way of his successful career. Conrad was able to offer much practical advice.

Tony Leon and Ian Iverson visited Andrew to offer support and a donation. They were extremely concerned about the fact that there had been no police follow up, and have put pressure on the police already. While they carry a high profile and are very busy people, it was quite clear that they cared about this issue, as politicians and parents.

Theatre on the Bay held a special performance of the highly successful comedy - Around the World in 80 Days at 15h00. This was fully sold out and there were a lot of disappointed people who didn't get tickets. Don't let this happen again - book today for the other upcoming benefits. We want to thank Pieter Toerien and his team at Theatre on the Bay, Computicket (for waiving their booking fee), and every one of you who either attended or wanted to attend the performance.

Draw for the Raffle in aid of Andrew's rehabilitation. The prize is a bottle of Simonsvlei Merlot 2005 and R30 Cheese Vouchers - ideal fare for watching a sunset. Tickets are R5 each and are available at Peacocks in Howard Centre. Prizes donated by Pine Cottage Guest House in Pinelands. Enquiries - Nicola Morris, email : info@pinecottage.co.za
