In 2013 the company was delighted to be entertained by the wonderful Marika Singers - and at this conference the organisers have  not forgotten the success of that evening - this photo from fermi of the Marika Singers, under the musical direction of Marika  Divišová are again on stage.......

From Panayoti Kelaidis:

"Finally, after over 40 years, I have visited my old friend Zdenek Zvolanek's unbelievable "Beauty Slope" at Karlik. The day exceeded my fondest expectations: it was mind bogglingly glorious! Bravo ZedZed, and bravo Czech Rock Garden Group for a spectacular conference! "

ZZ welcomes the visitors, complaining that they brought rain - which soon cleared up, says PK.
