Rock and roll on the gala evening with Elvis

Two impersonators of the King, James Marais and Monique Cassals, are set to entertain delegates on the gala evening of the 2010 SAYTC Conference & AGM. We reckon that there are many pelvis-shakers among SAYTC members, so delegates are welcome to tease their pompadour and bring out the rhinestone-studded jumpsuit for the evening.
