PRINGLE BAY HACK REPORT NO 113

Chris Geldenhuys, Convenor

In the morning mist the Pringle Bay Hack Group started the hack on 29 May 2016 in Flat, High Level and Surf roads of Pringle Bay. The primary challenge was the Australian Myrtle with a number of the ever present Rooikrantz. Although most of the Myrtle were small plants, they posed a sure long-term threat. The weather later changed for the better and the hack was finalised in wonderful autumn weather.

We were joined for the first time by Jenny Parsons. Welcome Jenny! The rest of the hackers were: John Whitehead, Edward Silberbauer, Sue Folb, Tom Dreyer, Charles Hector, Karen and Louw Toerien, Mike Meyer, Mike Begley, Gert and Marita Grobbelaar, together with Chris Geldenhuys.

A special word of thanks for the contribution and support provided by the members of the Betty’s Bay Hack to the Pringle Bay Hack. Their efforts and encouragement are, as always, greatly appreciated.

Ellen and Dave Muirhead again provided the ever necessary mid-morning refreshments. Thanks you two! Again a special word of thanks go to Peter and Joyce of the Mini Mark for the generous donation for the tea and sandwiches for the Hack Group, it was as always greatly appreciated by all.

The next monthly hack will be on Sunday 26 June 2016. As usual we will meet on the pavement opposite Drosters Centre, in Central Avenue, Pringle Bay, at 08:30 whereafter we will proceed to the hack site. The hack ends at 11:30. Everyone who would like to help rid Pringle Bay of alien vegetation is welcome. Hacking tools are provided. Contact Chris at (028) 273 8588, or just turn up at the meeting point.
