Gearing Up 4 Gorillas presents the 2009 ‘Gorilla Gala’, Carrington House Hotel, Bournemouth, Dorset, UK - May 8th 2010

G4G looks forward to welcoming you to a colourful Congolese style evening of music and dance. Kasai Masai, an exceptional band whose rhythmic, lively music is the very essence of Congolese culture, will perform. To complete the evening, the one and only Mungo Jerry will perform memorable hits to ensure no-one is left seated before a finale to remember……!

As Ambassador for the ‘Year of the Gorilla 2009’ and with his long experience of great ape conservation and intimate knowledge of the world of the mountain gorilla, G4G is honoured to have Ian Redmond OBE presenting the after dinner speech.

A variety of raffle prizes and auction items will delight you as ‘Gearing Up 4 Gorillas’ (G4G) raises awareness and funds to support mountain gorilla protection in Virunga National Park, eastern DR Congo. Every individual guest will automatically become a ‘Camp Bukima Custodian’ for 2010, entitling them to a certificate, photographs of the rangers they will be supporting and four editions of our G-Bulletin.
