Pringle Bay Hack Report No 133

The change of season created havoc today! The convenor made the mistake, in the previous report, that today’s hack would start at 08h00. After personally communicating with all hackers, it was confirmed we are now on Autumn/Winter time and all hacks going forward will start at 08h30. Until we see Summertime again! On 25 March 2018 the Pringle Bay Hack Group convened at Drostergat. Today we had a follow-up hack at Pringle Bay’s Main Beach Parking lot. We removed small seedlings, medium sized – and big monster Rooikrantz Trees. There was a lot of dragging to do, because the branches were required for the reinforcement of the Pringle Bay Dune Project. We appreciated all the hard work and a wonderful objective was achieved. Thank you guys the spirit in achieving today’s work was wonderful!!
