AFRICA HASH 2005

8 to 10 April 2005
CAPE TOWN the venue was a sophisticated city at the gateway to a majestic continent. Its a place where the old and new harmoniously converge in history, architecture, cultural pursuits and the essence of its people. Warmed by the African sun, the city is dominated by a towering table-shaped mountain, set on a peninsula of soaring, rocky heights and lush valleys. ACCOMMODATION was organised at the beautiful 4 star President Hotel. The EVENT centred around Hamiltons Ruby Club, where a marquee was erected. Nightly ENTERTAINMENT and hospitality was provided in true Cape Style. A couple of well laid out RUNS just to show that we can exercise when we want too and thats not just our drinking arm.
