BETTY’S BAY HACK REPORT NO 654

– Frik Potgieter,Convenor

On a somewhat windy morning, Rooikrans were tackled on the public open space to the east of Agapanthus road. A large number were eradicated, but there are many more waiting for next month. The area around Business Circle was also cleared by a team of hackers.

During this clearing exercise, Natalie was rather foully abused by one of the neighbouring residents. She did not like the noise of a chain saw on a Sunday morning! This has happened before, but from the report it seems like one of the worst. Luckily Natalie- ably assisted by Jeannie and Bernard- saw off the attack and came out of the episode with flags flying. Well done to all of you!

The whole exercise was hotly discussed at the aftermath and a suggestion was made that a medal be created for valiant behaviour by a hacker. This medal still needs to be named and designed, but the first recipients will be Natalie (with Bar) and Jeannie. Please let me have any suggestions as to a suitable name.

Di Knott provided the sandwiches and Merran Silberbauer the tea. Thank you ladies.

The hackers were, John Benn, David Bossenger, Jan Joubert, Ulli Niemann, Richard Smeda, Jeannie Harning, John & Sue Weaver, Bernard and Natalie van Wulven, Mike Robinson, Willem Stiglingh with Sunra Mostert and Corine Visser, Lewis & Caroline Silberbauer, Tom Dreyer, Ed Silberbauer, Frik Potgieter.Chris Geldenhuys as always will hack on the morrow.

Next Hack: Sunday 5th Novemberr 2017 at 8h30 on Agapanthus Road off Porter Drive.
