ANNOUNCEMENT: 2020 River Trip & Baboons Pass Trip

The Club has decided that we will NOT be hosting either a Baboons Trip or a River Trip in 2020.
Traditionally these trips are held over the Woman's Day long weekend in early August.
Reasons:
1. Both require planning & at this stage we don't know for sure where this Lock Down is taking us.
2. Both trips require (& may result in) capital expenditure, which many cannot afford at this stage.
3. The Koranna Getaway too priority (because I wanted to go there 
)
4. We are a little concerned with safety on both trips, particularly around Giyani.
5. I already know of a few groups doing River Trip. I suspect it may be crowded (as usual).
Does this mean you can't do a River Trip or a Baboons Pass Trip this year?
No. Not at all! You are welcome to do either, they are both 'open' events

Makes perfect sense considering the current situation.

Guys ... that Giyani Molatotsi river trip etc was a great thing and I did it several times ...
but its over-run, cars everywhere , rubbish,
beggers & ‘buggers’, etc etc wont easily be going there again... if you go suggest not on long weekend ... but middle school term, mid-week etc

Chas,
I see, in your signature you have;
Famous Fiver ...
Veni Vidi Vici ...
Surely you should change it to:
Veni, vidi, oblitus
