Hares: Digit Digester with Ma’ Dog
A sad day, as it’s my last collaboration run report with All Fours. Admittedly I was co-hare, with Digit Digester so it might be a tad bias. Also, as we sail into the sea of uncertainty with our new committee, we remain rudderless, in the position of On Sec. Surely there is someone out there, with enough words nous, wit, black humour, sarcasm and no conscience to fill the void?
We gathered at the dog park atop Lake Weyba Drive and what a good turnout there was. Great to see some originals like Speed Dog and unregulars like the Fat Controller plus some visitors from ‘wankyank’ country (B Flat& Victoria Falls). The FGM & RA took command and reminded us all, what an auspicious occasion this was. It’s the present committees last run, as in a few hours they would be unshackled from the bondage of commitment and join the ranks of us mere mortals, being the members and being totally ignored for the next twelve months.
Digit and Moi, gave a quick rundown on how the run was laid, its length and duration, which was hard as we had no clue about either because I inadvertently switched of my run tracker when setting it. Down the road and left into Nannygai St, across into Blameless Shire to a check, with a small meander thru the park, along Waterside to Saltwater. The runners by all accounts were speeding ahead and a good number of walkers were in pursuit. Through another park and through Skipper to a check at Maccas. The walkers kep ttogether and wouldn’t be out done by those peskie front runners. Some slack arses did take the opportunity to shortcut back but the majority continued. The runners spearheaded by Beams the Fat Controller and Silly Prick reached the next check on Gympie Terrace. Sadly, they were misguided and went left and ignored the fact that there were no ‘On’ arrows. After much cursing to the perpetrator, they headed back, up Thomas to Albert. Here they meandered through Anne, James and onto Weyba Road. A short jog back to Lake Weyba Drive and homeward to the Doggy Park. Naffa of course, couldn’t resist but to shortcut and against his normal reactions, said he actually enjoyed it for once. Beams was the first legit trail runner back and informed me, it was 5.1kms long and took 45 minutes, which was news to me and Digit ????. The circle was formed, after my last duty as Hash Crier, where I usually deafen everybody in close proximity. A very short and quick circle was performed with the FGM providing a quick summary of events and expenditure of the 2023/2024 year!
So without further ado, over to you, our illustrious and departing RA& On Sec & Scribe – All Fours for her last contribution to the run report.

Summary of AGPU
After a short run and a short circle we all wandered down Lake Weyba Drive to the Laguna Retirement Village for more drinking and to the long awaited event of the year – AGPU! OMG, it couldn’t have come sooner…
Meals on Wheels catered the 3 course dinner with all you could drink from the generous bucket. Licker and Red Knob had to go home to replenish the grog as this was,by far one of the best attended AGPUs with over 60 people! There were definitely a few Hashers who were rather merry too!
We were entertained by the Hash Committee, the Von Crapp Singers with a selection of rewritten hash words to The Sound of Music songs and lyrics were provided for the Hashers to sing along. The last song performed was “So Long, Farewell”, where the FGM tossed the Hashit Award, TM tossed chalk, HC tossed a cash register with money, RA/On Sec tossed a laptop computer and we all waved SO LONG… FAREWELL…AUF WIEDERSEHEN… GOODBYE…
Special mention of thanks to:
- Reverse Thrust (MC duties, use of his PA system)
- Breathless, The Madam (Kaffir’s wife), Kaffir, Possum, Reverse Thrust (recorded vocals)
- Michael (Breathless’ brother for creating the backing tracks)
A few awards were given out, the final part of the proceedings was the sacking of the committee and the election of the new GM and their committee. There were two main contenders – Treadie and Nafa. After a show of hands, the new GM is TREADIE!!!
The new committee lineup for 2024/25 is:
- GM –Treadie
- RA –Beams
- Hash Cash – Ride On
- TMs – Rocky & Lazy Prick
- Beer Meisters – Hoader & Tailend
- DSIs – Mozzie & Be Prepared
- Minister of Loose Ends (MOLE) – Dun’ Rootin’
Congrats to the new committee! However, there is an important role that is still vacant – the On Sec! Treadie is look for someone who is a great communicator and is good with emails. I know there are some hashers who totally fit the bill– so step up and show us how it’s done!
On On to another awesome year of hashing!
All Fours (signing off for the very last time – YAYYYYYYY!!!)
Run: #2279 – A beachy kind of day
Date/Time: Monday 05/02/24, 5pm
Location: Peregian Beach
Hares: Dennis the Menace and Longis Prongis
This was another hot sticky day but it was a little overcast as we gathered at Peregian Beach. Longis Prongis was definitely worried that it would rain and wash out all the beautiful coloured chalked trail. There were yellow, blue and pink arrows along the way with lots of checks. Early on Nafa went down a street and turned right, missing the faint yellow arrow which went left. The trail did go up and down between the houses which seemed to loop back each time. The hares cunningly gave the runners a diversion rather than sending them to the drink stop. The path home was along the beach, popping blue bottles as we went and finally catching up with the walkers before turning in at Beach Access No. 59.
The walkers report was given by Boobs – got lost about 1 billion times (not exaggerating here…) but where we found trail, it was great! Groper gave the runners report – which was very different, the hares stood over the runners/walkers split so that the runners would take a BIG deviation around the area, only to loop back onto the main road with fast traffic and to the drink stop when all the walkers had disappeared! Despite that, he thought it was a great run, great distance and losing Nafa early on and never seeing him again until back at the bucket!
The Down Downs were given to:
- Birthdays – Unremarkable, Boobs, Got Off
- Hashit Award – Groper for ignoring 2 Sheilas when driving to the run (the GPS and GT) when they tried to give him directions and got lost!
- Maneater gave a synopsis of the ‘Not the Australia Day’ weekend at Imbil
- Weak As – for the lonesome, well hung Plough Boy/Cowboy who entertained us in Imbil with his act
- Licker – a GM for wearing another club’s tshirt, the Larrikins when she isn’t even a member of Larrikins
- Longis Prongis – returned his tiny piece of pink chalk left over from marking checks and he was seen with a large pair of garden shears cutting down bush by the BBQ as he tried to make some topiary.
- Licker – a thank you from Miss Belinda Snoggs for sucking up and telling her what a fabulous job she has done for the year and leading such a fabulous committee. Thanks goodness she will be sacked next week, otherwise she will have a big head thinking ‘Sheilas can do anything!’
- Visitors/returnees – Fussy Not Desperate (FND), Groper, GT, Drover’s Dog
- Licker – for chasing after the 3 young shirtless hunky dudes down the road
Thanks to the hares – Dennis the Menace and Longis Prongis for the excellent trail and supper of snags, chips and coleslaw.
On On to the AGPU…

Run: #2278 – It’s an Excavation Day…
How much excavation can be done in a day?
Date/Time: Monday 29/01/24, 5pm
Location: Lake MacDonald
Hare: Treadie
The answer to the above question is that an excavator could be used to dig anywhere from 350 to 1,000 cubic yards per day. Treadie has certainly been busy by planning the trail around Lake MacDonald Forest Park which looks remarkably like an excavator (see below image).
A surprising number of hashers managed the trail in the humidity minus the hot sun as it had been forecast for a huge downpour. Fortunately, the RA’s Anti Rain app was working and managed to delay the rain until the following day. The run was a mere 8.43km and the walkers was approximately 5km. Beams, wearing a bright yellow tshirt was like the yellow peril always at your heels and catching up!
The extended walkers report was given by Rocky – he went slightly beyond the fence line when he got to a check and did extra 1km, but still scored it 9.4/10. Weak As gave the runners report – thought the run was absolutely fantastic, bush run, great distance and the chance to jump in the lake to cool off afterwards and thinks that Treadie should set all the runs for the rest of the year!
The Down Downs were given to:
- Recharge & GB – celebrating their 12 wedding anniversary (aww SWEET) & still in LOVE!
- Rocky – does the extended version of the walk, gets back to bucket and shoves ice down his socks (not jocks) then takes off his singlet and wrings out half a bucket of sweat!
- Next Week – was complaining all morning that he couldn’t wear flippers for swimming as he had sore and swollen feet and that he couldn’t possibly run in the evening, however he was running off ahead of everyone else – how his feet has miraculously recovered & is HEALED!!!
- Mother Trucker received the Hashit Award for not only falling over once but twice on the run
- Weak As – for scaring all the kids at the lake when he dropped his daks to go swimming naked
- Mozzie – had two lovely bandaged legs expertly attended by Nurse Licorice Nipples after Haybales pushed her into the stream. As Haybales felt guilty, he was seen holding hands with Mozzie back to the bucket.
The only type of excavation that happened was finding old fossils (we could name a few?!) but no artifacts! Many thanks to the terrific trail and supper which was single handedly done by none other than Treadie!
