Potjiekos Competition – December 2009
What a BLAST!

Exchanging recipies!
The Oldies rocked up first to check if fires was burning & set-up their sites. The Newies just had to take what was left, struggle to start fires as blitz was confiscated by other sites. But you have to learn at some stage and next year you might remember to start packing earlier for this lekka event.
Don’t worry guys – they did get more blitz from Kobus – ever so helpful he ran to assist those in need with little pieces of blitz smaller than a match sticks head.
The Newies was not impressed until I showed them how it gets done. They were quit amazed & suddenly the faces lit up, as well as their fires. What started off as a boring night for them suddenly turned into loads of sports.
With the right kind of people, the right kind of fun and of course the right place -
“Sports” was the name of the game! Numbers were drawn & boxes handed over. Faces fell again as the Newies were now totally confused. They did pay for a full meal and now what. I explained again that they could swap & change & steal from other sites as long as they do not get caught by the judges or Mandy. Penalty is a “straf dop”!

Now what must I do with this?
Understanding the rules of the game is extremely important and easy but don’t cross the line. You might end up getting chased by the men while the woman look after the pot.
That’s exactly what happened to Mr Mac! Mandy convinced him to help her steal thè cooler box of the Dalton’s! This cooler box was the centre of attention at the Dalton site with someone always close to it.
Mr Mac decided to play camera man and like an experienced director moved the group in such a position that he got closer and closer to the Box. As the flash blinded the group he grabbed the Box and ran. Well team spirit did not lack here as a bunch of men started running after him to retrieve their Box. They were welcomed home by very proud companions.
This was besides the havoc that Mandy caused. At one stage she was so forward she stole Uwe’s meat. Sommer just walked past his pot, made as if she was going to put something in it, grabbed the meat off the table and off she went. He eventually caught up with her in the play park.
I write so much – rather check out the photies to see all the fun we had.
