Announcing our summer event. The Nyika-Vwaza (UK) Trust will be holding an event on Saturday 7th June in Lincolnshire courtesy of Peter and Marianne Overton of Hilltop Farm, Welbourn, Lincs, LN5 0QH.

Announcing our annual promotional and fund raising evening.

We hope you will be able to join us for our annual promotional evening at The Royal Over Seas League in London on Tuesday, 5 November. As you know, we rely entirely on your donations to fund our conservation work in Northern Malawi. So it is crucial that we update you on that work whenever we can. We’re sure you will agree there is no better way of doing this than meeting face-to-face! Tickets for the evening cost £16. They are available from Peter Lawrance (tel: 01483 714130; e-mail: sec.nvt@gmail.com; address: The Malt House, 50 Brewery Road, Horsell, Woking GU21 4NA). Application forms can also be found at www.nyika-vwaza-trust.org/ROSL-2013.html Please note the change of venue to The Royal Over Seas League this year (we are not at The Royal Geographical Society). Partly this is because the ROSL should provide a more intimate setting for our gathering. But also the new venue reduces the costs of running the event.

Welcome to our new managers!

We welcome Mike and Emma Rutter who replaced Geoff and Patsy Wooles as managers of the Nyika Vwaza Trust in Malawi.

In the UK Mike worked as a Chartered Building Surveyor being one of four partners in a medium sized mixed practice involved in construction and project management. They employed various Architects, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors based in the SW of England before he left to become self-employed about 5 years ago. His experience is with a wide range of construction projects from social housing to royal palaces, hotels and prisons and lots more besides. In the UK Mike and Emma live in a quiet part of Devon not far from Harry Foot as well as close to the Grimshaws  (former UK Trustees) – small world as they say. They run a smallholding using a variety of ancient tractors and machinery, keep various animals grow veg etc – all good experience which will come in useful working for NVT.

Mike and Emma are acting as interim managers until the end of September and we wish them well in this challenging role.
