Run Date: 27th July 2020
Run No #2073
Hare: Streaker
Venue: 5/3 Hunter Street West Mackay
Hashers: 23
Monday nights are they just the best. Hashing.
23 hashers gathered at the grand master’s ( or is that mattress) place of residence for a gentle stroll through the streets of West Mackay. The hare then gave out the instructions, the trail was set using four white paws and two black shoes. Off along Hunter street then on to Nebo Road where everyone made it safely across the road.
Streaker had a surprise for everyone along the way. Was it a replica of the Taj Mahal, a three story Georgian manor, no it was something far more exciting, a new set of traffic lights on Milton Street, the wonders of modern technology.
I thought someone was lost, or the police were checking we were social distancing as there was a helicopter flying around most of the night, as it turned out it was neither, just someone getting in a bit of practice flying at night.
Everyone made it back safely, Quickie got the fire going and everyone sat around keeping warm, thanks to Corgi for the wood.
Down Down was given to the hare after much toing and froing from the kitchen to turn off the smoke alarm, lucky Streaker’s son was there to fix the problem. The bar b que was set alight and Hooker proceeded to cook the sausages under difficult circumstances, very little light and trouble with the gas, but thanks to Streaker’s son again the sausages and onions were under way.
Jokes were told, down downs given to Half a Boat, picked up the rum balls from Delicious’s place on Friday night, but then forgot them on Saturday morning and had to go back from City Gates to home to retrieve them. Zorro for going to get his special lighter to light the fire but ended up somewhere else, I think it was the Shamrock hotel. Quickie got one (a down down) for being a visiting hasher.
The song was sung and the circle closed. Out came the sausages, onions, bread and various sauces, back to the good old days. I was still disappointed there was no corned meat, however I have been assured there will be next time.
I want to thank the committee for a great weekend down at Clairview, everyone had a great time and looking forward to next year.
On on to 17 Jarrah Street next week. Flaps
