May 2014
Programme:- JM Coetzee & Athol Fugard Festival 2014.
Please note that all talks will be held at Booktown Richmond Head Quarters. You will note that we have added a nice little interval between speakers to allow for more Q&A as well as changeover.  We trust that you will enjoy your weekend and our little Karoo dorp. Don't forget to find a spot on a stoep to just sit and relax and to see how time almost comes to a halt when you are in the Karoo!

Tea breaks will be hosted at the Richmond Supper Klub courtesy of Booktown Richmond.

There will be an exhibition of Professor Pitika Ntuli's artwork at the Gallery on 33 Loop Street.
