While preparations for the Perth event are being carried out, it might be helpful for everyone else, everywhere else, to see what's needed to get something going where you are:
1) Talk to people about it
2) Get a team together, either to help organise (if you need it) or to help promote it or just to guarantee they'll be there - all the people I've spoken to have promised the latter without hesitation.
3) Find a venue. It can be anywhere, from the small and intimate backyard to the spontaneous game on a street (watch out for traffic) to your nearby park, or school, or university. If it's one of the latter, book it (and watch out for booking fees - if you can get a business owner or community group to cover that then go ahead with it!)
4) get players and teams together
5) get support - again business owners and community groups will help, whether it's by putting up a poster for your event, spreading the word, providing refreshments or just joining in. Remember if you do get any sort of sponsorship help, do a little advertising for them in return (if you want them listed on this site, contact Lucy via play4zimbabwe@gmail.com )
Remember, the emphasis is on enjoying being Zimbabwean and being together to represent a country we all love, so do it all with enthusiasm!

I think we should have a big braai afterwards, with sadza, of course!
