Hash Run 1458: Sun 6th June @ 10 Am - Potjie on-after

Sunday's Hash will be held at the home of Angelina & Brad in the scenic village of Gabane, and will include a potjie expo On-After (please read all the way to bottom). 

Directions are as follows:

From the Rainbow School roundabout on the Western Bypass, follow the Kanye Road west (in the direction of Mogoditshane/Gabane/Kumakwane/Kanye).  Do NOT take the first right-hand turnoff to Gabane (signposted about 9km from the Rainbow roundabout), but rather continue on for another 2.5km, underneath the big power line, and turn RIGHT just after a small red-brick church with a blue roof, onto a gravel road with a Water Utilities sign indicating "Gabane Balance Reservoir", as well as a mob of signs indicating "Thatch Houses for Rent",  "Thank You for Not Littering",  "Gabane Pottery",  "Pelegano Art Village", etc, etc, etc.

Follow this gravel road around the bend about 300m (you will see another green "Gabane" sign on  your left as you follow it, and turn into the 2nd signposted gravel driveway on your right marked "Ditlhareng - The Taylors".  If you come to Pelegano Art/Craft Village you have gone too far! Proceed to the glorified-cattle-fence security gate where you will (hopefully) be waved in.  Continue into the neighbourhood and bear LEFT, follow the avenue of prickly pear cacti, over a violent speed bump (or 3), continuing UP the hill (do not take any left-hand turns or pull into anyone else's driveways), past a small white trailer on the right, and proceeding straight ahead, all the way to the top, as far as you can go.  The road dead-ends into a 2-story stone house with a thatch roof and salmon-colored paint job. 

Instructions for On-After:

After last week's "Arctic Blast Hash", we decided to well and truly EMBRACE the winter season, and rather than have the same ol' same ol' bring and braai, you are invited to make your best winter stew potjie (our guess is you'll either want to pre-make or par-make it the night before) and bring it along for the On-After.  A fine bed of coals will be prepared prior to the hash, and the pots can be simmering away under the watchful eye of Jock while the hash is being run.  After the circle everyone can sample one anothers' best efforts at winter stewing!   

If you do not own a potjie or have no idea what the previous paragraph means, do not fear, simply bring your own french bread or baguette (or 2) and you are more than welcome to taste it all and get a valuable first-hand lesson in southern African cuisine at its best!   Please bring your own dishes & cutlery & chairs, alternatively there will be plenty of large rocks & boulders to sit on if you don't.

Please email kalahari.hash@gmail.com if you will be joining us so that we can make a plan for
A) Parking, and
B) How much bread pudding Jock is making.
Also if possible let us know if you will be bringing a pot or bread, for the sake of planning.
