The Hogsback Times

Closing Time — September 2026 edition

Closing Time


Skinner Snippets

  • The rumor about yoga classes starting again in October – CONFIRMED, but that’s ALL that is confirmed. When, what times and days are yet to be announced.
  • “Moving Truck spotted outside Corrieghlas!” When HBT heard this rumor, we rushed to the scene and can confirm, it was a moving truck indeed. DELIVERING not collecting. So, not yet guys,
    not yet.
  • Mel won the Hogsback Women’s Bowls Championship in July already, we did not report on it and apologise, but we can’t keep up. She collects trophies faster than we can type!
  • Confirmed – It was an unrelated deer.
  • And no Linda never reported, but it has been reported.
  • A feasibility study was done and apparently making piles of pancakes, just for them to be judged and eaten, is impractical.


Dalk Demand Difference Definitions

– (Incase you spotted it and were curious…)
Metallurgy is the science and technology of extracting metals from their natural ores, refining them, and preparing them for practical use. The word comes from the Greek words metallon (metal or mine) and ergon (work). It forms a core part of materials science and engineering


Stampvol September… daar was troues, verjaarsdae, moord, roof, meer verjaarsdae, nog ‘n huweliksviering. Daai ander egskeiding is nogsteeds nie deur nie, die offer op die huis is aanvaar en soos een paartjie jubel oor hul nuwe begin, weën ‘n ander paartjie oor hul droomhuisie van die mark af is.
Someone is still carrying the world on their shoulders, someone else is mourning a loss like they’ve never experienced. Someone failed an exam for the first time ever, someone else passed their first term for this year. That same pair is still busy with their affair, the other one stopped their adulterous behaviour. And a few Hogsback hoplites have volunteered and are fighting post-MITS, Vodacom and MTN wars.


  • Do Not play unless you can apply self-disscipline. Pick a play-time-limit and stick to it.
  • The walk starts slow, jump last minute, until the pace starts increasing.
  • Use your real name. Not a must, but would be nice to know whose playing.

    October lies ahead of us and we have so much to look forward to… (some warmer days please!) but also; Open Gardens, The EC Provincial Book Fair, Wine Festival, Halloween dress-ups, markets, artists who have been making and preparing their creations especially for Open gardens, Food Market, Quizzes, Seconds Market and much much more.

HAVE AN OPTIMAL OCTOBER HOGSBACK!
