PLEASE
NOTE!
In recent years there has been some confusion as to when those wishing to taste the various competing teams can allow their potjies to be sampled.
The adopted policy for this year is that when a potjie has been judged and that team has put aside their individual portions it will be ready for sampling.

However to preselect a sequence of readiness
is not possible due to variances is the estimated cooking and judging times.
A scramble to taste the 1st potjie can negatively affect all tasters to sample that delicacy.

This year we will hold back until at least 3
or 4 potjies are ready and there after a steady flow should become available.
As and when each additional potjie becomes available an announcement will be made giving the location and team name
