Run #2233 – Monday 6 March 2023
Hares: Hoarder & Tailend
Location: Noosa District Sports Complex, Tewantin
When All Fours arrived at the start of the run, she was bombarded by the Hare with instructions of the trail. There was something about going to Noosa Banks, a blue sign and a drink stop – what more info do you need? It was soon clear that she hadn’t remembered the crucial bits…
But wait, there’s more (instructions)! The trail markings officially started approximately 500m away by the netball courts. The front runners were ferreting for ages before they found trail onto McKinnon Drive. Nafa as usual, had gone off in the distance leaving Beams, Next Week, All Fours, Lech and a very sprightly Bedspringer following.
Finally, we found the oasis (drink stop) nestled between the houses in the bushy reserve. I think Hoarder was disappointed that All Fours had forgotten that she was meant to mark the trail going into the bush first, then the drink stop. Not to disappoint, the runners still did the bush loop back when they encountered Tailend leading the fast walkers coming in the opposite direction. And soon it was back along the LONG McKinnon Drive home – a hot and steamy 7km run!
The circle had commenced before our visitor, Toucan finally arrived home to a refreshing beer. Scandal had gone on her bike in search of Toucan who was found wandering around the sports complex disorientated and dazzled by all the flood lighting. Scandal had told him to remember the Funeral Parlour for directions home – not sure whether there was a hidden meaning behind that!
Kondom gave a very concise run report. Lech charged All Fours for marking too many arrows going in too many directions – her response was, “It depends on which way you’re facing!”. Reverse and Bedspringer were returnees – Reverse is currently taking it easy having had a penis reduction. Speaking of operations, Boobs is about to go for his 6 million dollar man knee surgery – watch out everyone he’ll be chasing you!
Ma’ Dog told an early St Patrick’s Day Irish joke while Nafa got half way with a joke when he lost the plot and chucked his drink. The Grog Raffle was won by Mother Trucker, which must’ve been rigged as Holy Smoke had said it was a nice drop of Chardy this week!
Many thanks to Hoarder and Tailend for stepping in to be hares this week and cooking a delicious beef stew.
Run #2232 – Monday 27 Feb 2023
Hares: Screamer & Ma’ Dog
Location: Tewantin
A great turnout of hashers descended upon 117 Griffith Ave, Tewantin homestead of Screamer and Ma’ Dog. Out the front of the house was a For Sale sign, but still it didn’t deter the hashers from coming…
We ferreted around the streets at the start of the run but we soon headed down Billabong Way through to the bushy parklands and the golf course. We entered the Heritage Park Bushland Reserve more than once which made us think that we had gone back on ourselves. Gropa didn’t find trail the first time as the toilet paper had fallen off the tree which he prompted put back as we think it might have been used…
The pack managed to keep together for most of the way with Ma’ Dog occasionally gesturing to the slower hashers to take the other direction at the checks. Kondom and Woof Woof were leading the walkers striding out in front and still managing to keep lots of conversation going. Lech was in fine form pounding the pavement like a true FRB – he said that he hasn’t felt so good in ages (I’ll have some of that some of that secret potion too!).
Soon, we stumbled upon an Unremarkable Drink Stop! He mentioned that he wasn’t very good at doing ‘hash stuff’ but somehow managed the drinks. He did leave the rice cooking on the stove and walked away for Screamer to fortunately find that it wasn’t burnt!
Good Things was busy on the phone and eyeing up potential real estate that was on sale in the area. The trail did go past the Carramar Aged Care however, I don’t think she was interested in living there just yet!
Griffith Ave must seem like a long road as we must have crossed or gone along it several times and then the home trail did indeed take us back onto Griffith Ave! An excellent 5.53km run that was under the hour too!
This was the first official circle that the newly appointed GM had graced us with her presence as Licker literally got the shits last week! Ma’ Dog’s summary was that the GM and the RA/On Sec, enthralled the mob with their fuckups and indecisions and is so glad that nothing has changed since the last committee! (does that sound like a nomination for the next committee?!!).
Beams was charged with impostoring Kel from Kath & Kim as he’s certainly got those power walking moves! Even the GM doesn’t escape charges as she decided to leave all her vibrating bits (sex toys) behind at last weekend’s shenanigans! Weak As deserves some award for yet another injury when the pavement jumped out on him to cause him to lose bark on his arms and legs.
The Grog Raffle was won by Kerfuffle who took the wine and pumpkin but turned down the beer. The beer was redrawn with Lech winning the six pack.
Another great evening with thanks to Screamer and Ma’ Dog for their hospitality and a fab run!
Run # 2230 Monday 13 February 2023
Hares: Kaffir & Committee
The unfortunate thing about being a ‘doormat’ is, eventually you must expire and get replaced! That’s exactly why we had to sack the old committee – a new hash day, a new hash start, a new committee! Many thanks to the OLD committee for organising a fab AGPU at chez Weak As with an abundance of 56 hashers attending. It’s amazing how many MIA hashers came out of the woodwork at this annual event – Chanter, Bin A While and Norbert to name a few. It was a very hot and steamy arvo/evening which did eventually cool down a tad with some light rain much later in the evening.
Kaffir was on strict instructions from the GM to set trail that would take a maximum of 45mins in order to get back for dinner. Kaffir wouldn’t let anyone else to mark off the checks, hence Recharge was seen going around in circles and doing extra runners and walkers loops – I thought he was a local?!
There was a runners loop around the Tewantin residences with plenty of checks, leading back onto the walkers trail and going through the abandoned Sundale Bella Noosa retirement centre site, Yellowwood Park, netball grounds and back home. Miele, who is Miss Bossy Boots’ Dad, couldn’t find trail at a check and was looking forward to more misdemeanours so he could drink more down down beers. Beams is the Energizer Bunny who just keeps on going despite a tumble in the park. It was a very pleasant 4.3km run which took half an hour with plenty of time to drink beer.
Weak As must’ve got the unlucky hasher award when he walked into a wasp nest. Why did the undercover cop throw a wasp nest at the drug dealer? It was a sting operation. Many thanks for the personal assistance of the sexy nurses that looked after him and sorted out the swollen bits.
There were a couple of namings for our more recent hashers: Josie is now known as Scrumpy (where traditional Cornish Scrumpy Cider is made) and Martyn was named Delilah (being Welsh, and Martyn is spelt with a ‘y’ – why, why, why Delilah…). Possum was reciting Christmas reindeers stories whilst Reverse Thrust was re-enacting bobbing apple rituals which managed to lose the hasher’s 10 seconds attention span.
And then…
The new committee was announced with Licker at the helm – congrats! Gradually, the revealing of the 2023 Committee are: GM – Licker, RA – All Fours; Hash Cash – Licorice Nipples and Recharge (filling in until she gets back); Web Meister – Next Week; Onsec – All Fours; Grog Master – Weak As (temp, then various unsuspecting hash volunteers on rotation!); Trail Master – Kaffir; Haberdashery – Bundy; Directors of Social Intercourse – Holy Smoke & Floosie; Songs Mistress – Possum.
Dinner was catered by Pete the Greek serving @ 7pm sharp – Greek Gyros with chicken, lamb and loaded fries. Desserts was baklava + an endless bucket! How good was that!
Thanks again to the OLD committee and the use of Weak As’ new concrete pad.
On On to a great HASHY NEW (COMMITTEE) YEAR!
