| ACCOMMODATION: We suggest that competitors stay in Blue Horizon Bay as it is 25 minute drive to the venue. Alternatively stay in Port Elizabeth and drive the 45km to the venue on a tar road. The road becomes gravel once we enter the farming area. CATERING: Meals in the form of light breakfasts and lunches will be available for Competitors and their assistants/handlers/spouses. The meal request form will be sent out under separate cover. Please bring your own liquid refreshments. LIABILITY: The Committee will exercise all reasonable care in conducting the trials, but it must be clearly understood that, due to the nature of the sport, competitors, spectators and officials are invited to enter at their own risk and in so doing absolve the Club, Committee and Landowners from any claim whatsoever arising from loss or damage by, or to, any person or property during the course of the trials. | |||
