Harare Male Voice Choir
Visit to Mvurwi
On Saturday, 9th November 2002, the Harare Male Voice Choir travelled to sing at St Andrew's Church, Mvurwi.
The following pictures were mostly taken by Linda and Robert Hyde, with a few taken by Andrew Hyde.

Getting there
The choir assembled in the carpark at Reps Theatre at 9.30 a.m. on a hot November morning.
We travelled by car, intermittently in convoy, though the countryside which has recently begun to turn green from recent rains. Here are some pictures taken on the way. The first two show a petrol queue on the Golden Stairs Rd. The next two a characteristically well loaded bus.

A memorable day
All in all, a memorable day in which we received a very warm welcome at Mvurwi.
