UPDATE 23 SEPTEMBER 2022

On behalf of everyone involved in the Booktown Richmond and MadibaLand@BoekBedonnerd Literary Festival and the other activities in which we are involved, we wish to thank you most sincerely for making a big difference.

As we no longer receive government funding due to a moribund Northern Cape Department of Sports Art and Culture as well as Economic Development and Tourism (corruption in the main), we are entirely reliant upon private sponsorship.

Many thanks, and please do remain, Totally BookBedonnerd.

Peter Baker & Darryl David

Booktown Richmond's BookBedonnerd  is a literary and literacy festival held in Richmond in the Karoo every year for the past 13 years. We also hold the only forum to recognize self publishers the South African Independent Publishers Awards over the 4 day event in October. We hold art and reading  workshops for the children as well as a small book binding and restoration centre. In the past the Northern Cape Dept of Sport Art and Culture gave us some financial support but that has dried up completely. We need public funding to continue our good work.

see www.richmondnc.co.za

Contributions will enable BookBedonnerd, in the only Booktown in South Africa to continue to bring reading to a small Karoo dorp which has been resurrected by reading and books. We will be able to expand upon our outreach programmes and to stage next year a Festival dedicated to storytelling and oral traaditions.
