Pringle Bay Hack Report No 138

Kindly take note that there was a Hack Report 138, but it was actually a nil return in the sense that the hack was stopped due to rain on the day. Pringle Bay Hack Report No 139 Today, 30 September 2018, was the first scorcher of Spring and what a great turnout! After the cancellation in August due to the rain we had a second session on the plot next to the entrance to Pringle Bay.

Pringle Bay Hack Report No 131

On 28 January 2018 the Pringle Bay Hack Group convened for the first hack of 2018. We agreed to adhere to our summer start time of 08h00 until further notice. The target today was mainly Rooikrantz, along Hangklip - and False Bay Roads. Although the hacking was tough, the numbers in the Group made the big Rooikrantz trees disappear quickly. Thank you, guys that was a good achievement. A few bright stars displayed their enthusiasm to get rid of these invaders! Today’s attendance was just as good as November’s record with the following 30 members…

Chris Geldenhuys, Convenor On one of the hottest days this summer, the Pringle Bay Hack Group convened on 31 January 2016 to perform a very productive hack in Andre and Allen Roads of Pringle Bay.
