This weekend we have the first Rocktober tournament in Joburg!
We have 3 Joburg based teams and a team each from Cape Town, Pietermaritzburg and Pretoria that will compete.
We are no longer hosting the social hat tournament – we are rather going to allow each team to play each other team, for a total of 5 games over the weekend! Players need a black and a white shirt for both days.
Each team plays 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday (with an optional social game Sunday afternoon)
The Soweto players may only be arriving on Sunday – so we will possibly look for volunteers to play a social exhibition game after prize giving.
Don’t forget:
1) Water bottles
2) Sunscreen
3) HAT
4) Water

A big thank-you to all involved in organising Rocktober this weekend! It was a great weekend, and I am sure the memories will outlast my very dodgy burnt legs!
I agree, thanks to the organising committee for my awkward walk and sympathetic stares from strangers - it really was fantastic!
