Venue: 8 Hokins Street Glenella

Anticipation was high when enthusiastic Hashers gathered in the backyard of Wombat’s Hokins Court ponderosa.
After much procrastination, a reluctant bunch gathered in the front yard to receive some basic run instructions from Wombat before setting off on a short but well-marked trail around one block of Glenfields estate. Late arrivals, Wheelie and Maniki Pussy met the inbound front runners not far from the start and were left with no other option than to turn around and head for home also.
Appetisers were served while stand-in Hash Cash (Pensioner) wrestled some cash out of the other 20 Hashers.
The circle was called, the run was critiqued and the Hare received a down-down before promptly advising of her recent birthday, which triggered a rendition of Hashy Birthday and another down-down.
No sooner had Wombat assumed her place back in the circle, she was front and centre again, alongside Madame Curie and Maniki Pussy taking a down-down as a returning runner.
There were a couple of lame stories that I can’t remember before Raggedy Anne’s 400th run was recognised with a pair of personally embossed shorts, which she proudly modelled soon after.
With the circle closed, Wombat presented those gathered with lashings of chicken and salads, nicely finished off with calorie laden cake.
At some stage during the evening, Delicious sought to spice things up a bit with a dead-ant impersonation – there were nearly some crowd-crush injuries as multiple well-meaning first aiders rushed in to assist. Delicious returned to her seat unaided and initiated recovery operations – rolled a smoke and gulped a slug of cider!!
Hashers bid their farewells, thanked Wombat for her hospitality and returned to the security of their own homes to begin preparations for next week’s run at 57 Bradman Drive.
On-on Smut
