It was good to see returning runner, Drovers Dog getting involved again after many years in Mackay Hash. We gathered in front of Drovers Dog’s place while he gave instructions for the run. Starting out north along Gold St onto Goldsmith St where we found an on back when Drover’s Dog and his 2 dogs pointed us in the right direction N along Goldsmith St. Zorro said he had to see a man about a dog at Langfords Hotel and soon after while I was checking trail with JCF, he said he needed to be at the Met and followed Zorro along Gordon St, I rejoined the pack in Queens Park. Continuing onto Shakespeare St and along Hauge St where we followed the hare past an arrow to the left ( I think he felt sorry for us walkers ) and onto the walkway and park at the end of Iluka Dr where the trail went across the grass. At this point Fill De Jaw and Wheelie continued along the pathway and we didn’t see them again until we got home. A short walk across the grass to the Piss Stop and on home. As we arrived home, Tazan, a late cumer, pulled up on his push bike, everybody was accounted for except Nicker who became a little lose but eventually turned up ok.
The circle started with the hare having his down down and a drink for Gavin, a virgin runner who was welcomed to the group. Jokes were told, Pensioner came up with a Viagra joke which went over well while Streaker was selected to tell a joke but didn’t have one so Zorro volunteered a joke but that didn’t let her off the hook and received her down down. Lassie got a down down for being a returning runner. It was noted that after the run Mango was talking on her phone at her car in the street and when finished walked into the back yard next door to where we were gathered, she promptly retreated and joined the group, for this she received a down down. JCF and Zorro were charged with being sooks and not following trail, instead going to the pub.
Hash Nosh was served, a big pot of hot mince curry and a smaller pot of not so hot mince curry, everybody enjoyed their fill. By 9 o’clock most hashers were packed up and heading home. Thanks Drovers Dog for a good night and hope to see you on more runs in the future.
