Pre-Fish
The pre-fish is on Saturday, 20 & Sunday 21st
of September 2008. Starting time on Saturday is 11h00 at Grassridge
Dam. We’re starting on the dam this year, and NOT at the usual place
below the dam. The guys (and gals) must therefore please proceed to the dam
as they will for the Fish start. The distance we’re going to paddle on the
dam will however be considerably shorter than distance covered on race day
of the actual Fish. We will start in one batch – and therefore the distance
on the dam will be determined by the number of entries. The more entries
the longer the section on the dam.

We’re starting in one batch on the dam to make it easier for
the lifesavers to finish at Toastrack and then move to Soutpans. Our
clubhouse will be open on Friday and Saturday with music and lots of wood
for the braai! The entry fee is R80 per day to cover the cost of the
lifesavers and timekeepers. Registration will be at our club from 18h00 on
Friday (19/09/2008) and also from 09h30 to 10h40 at the Dam on Saturday.
The starting time for Sunday will be 09h00 at Knutsford –
normal starting place for day 2 of the Fish. The Cradock weir will, as
usual for pre-fish, be a compulsory portage. It may be lifted the Sunday
morning depending on the number of SAPS divers available. We don’t however
want to make any promises at this stage.
