Hare – Harbour and Mrs Appeel
Venue – 17 Botha St, Black’s Beach
Hashers: 22

A refreshing clear night we arrived to find Blurry’s two dogs at the gate.  Blurry’s back in Mackay for the winter.  Harbour had the fire going keeping everyone warm for the start of the run.  We noticed Golly’s front wheel was chocked for the incline on the drive way for safety.  We didn’t want the beer truck rolling away.  When we came back a big orange witch’s hat was put on the tow ball.  We’ve done our take 5.

Out on the front drive way Harbour gave us directions and that there was a piss stop.

Down towards the beach and along the front of the Caravan Park and around and around we found Mrs Appeal ready with the piss stop.  Then trail went through a vacant land area and back out onto the street back home.  Some checked out the tavern.  Lassie and Insex were the last to come in.  Tonto was getting a little concerned they didn’t come back with the drivers.  Corn relish and salsa dips for appetizers to go with our beers and ciders was out ready and waiting.

Smut called the circle and gave a lesson on Australian history facts in 1918, the 1st World War about a mascot boy called Henry who was smuggled back to Australia in a hessian bag but died at the age of 18 in an accident.

Charges were called. SCB’s Zorro and Smut.  Lassie and Insex for being in last.  Snot for adopting Teddy.  Blurry, Lassie and Tonto for returning runners.

Hashy birthday for Maple Syrup, and a 50 Run Award Cap for Harbour.  Jokes were told and then Mrs Appeal brought out two pots of Satay Sausages and rice which was cleaned up with bread and butter.  A marvelous chocolate topping slice for dessert.  As the air cooled more, the closer we got to the fire.  A top night with good company again.

Thanks to Harbour for a well marked run and Mrs Appeal for top nosh.

On On Corgi and Daffodil

Run – 2382
Hare – Golly and Raggedy
Venue – 4 Trochus Ct, Shoal Point
Hashers: 21 or so and a fire pit

Golly set up a very cozy seating area in case of rain.  The torch reminder was much appreciated; pretty dark by 6 and beyond.  Round and round the mulberry bush to the Piss Stop; very refreshing!  Back behind the tarp for snacking choices, a Captain Thunderbolt history lesson, charges, jokes, returning runners (Teflon and Hooker – hope you’ll come again – Flaps, feeling good from now on!) and visitor Bastard John.

A reminder for end of month dinner at Bah-na Saturday from 7 and a swap of Hare and venue for next Monday.

Plenty of yummy nosh from Raggedy-Ann followed by chocolate goodies and plenty of bs around the fire.  Good night as always!

Next week in Blacks Beach…see you there.

Hare – Tonguer
Venue – 12 Hill End Road, Glenella
Hashers: 23 and fire pit

Hi All.

WE all gathered at Tonguer’s Man Cave on Hills End Rd, all 23 of us waiting for the green light. But we waited until the hare’s No 1 son arrived.  

Marked in chalk goes that away up the road, down through walk ways, along the creek.  Corgi out front checking had to come back to the Piss Stop which, according to the monk, was right on 2k.

All refuelled off we went past football fields, Magpies, then home.

Back at cave we were served up pumpkin soup, very nice Wendy.

Circle called, Monk gave his very informed address to the pack. Don’t know what it was about. I forgot.

Charges given, jokes told. We need to start writing them down so as we can remember them. Returning runners song sung right on time as Uber eats arrived. 

Food went down very well followed with Sticky Date Pudding and Custard.

Well done again, Wendy.

We talked more bull shit, drank more beer and drank more, then they slowly

all vanished. Another Good night. Well done Tonguer and Wendy.

 See you all on the sands of the Northern Beaches Monday.

 Bring Torches. Might need them.

 ON_ON  GOLLY.    

Date –11 May, 2026
Run – 2380
Hare – Zorro
Venue – Mackay Fencing, North Mackay
Hashers: 13 with wind and fire pit

Windy evening, but luckily no showers.  Fire flamed and leaped the whole time.  

13 Hashers made it to Mackay fencing to be lead by Zorro, live Hare, out and around the Harbour roundabout.  Historic housing crises (all solved by some shonky builder Snot knew) described by the Monk.  Short-cutting bastards (majority of the group) accepted their down downs.  More joke tellers were needed.  Birthday chockies dispensed and Birthday song sung to Matches.  Delicious stewy Nosh served by Zorro with lots of potatoes on the side so no one missed bread, but a few commented on the pre circle crackers without dip!

‘It was just one of those days,’ claimed the Hare…

Tonguer’s run up next!  See you there.

Hash Run Report

Highlights:

Beautiful, breezy, mosquito-free evening at the park to start.

Good run, well marked, refreshing Hash piss

No facts from the Monk (😉)

Some decent jokes and down-downs

Excellent meal, snacks and dessert (Mrs Appeel’s ANZAC biscuits)

Lower-lights

Hills on the run!!! (For some)

No facts from the Monk (Pench 😉)

Hash Piss parking option (due to Harbour’s friendly chatting and Golly’s decision to ‘stay put’ despite helpful suggestions to move closer before Tarzan gazzumped the spot) = several down downs

Brisk wind that blew everyone home early…it’s into that time of year to start packing some extra layers.

On to Tarzan’s at 4 Evan’s Ave next Monday.

See you there!

Date – 13 April, 2026
Run – 2376
Hare – Smut
Venue – 20 Royal Boulevard, Glenella
Hashers: 18

A hardy group of Hashers arrived at Glenella and welcomed back Knicker Licker who had recovered from his upstaging event at Insex’s birthday party. Right on time we set off for a quick trip around the streets of Glenella. 

Tonto received a down down (later on) for being a ‘gentleman’ and offering to “SCREW” in some palings for a lady with a drill. Tonto finally caught up to the group as we finished our delightful drinks at the piss stop. We were then back on the road again, torches flickering to Smut’s abode for some nice cold refreshments.

Down downs had and Knicker Licker and Maple Syrup welcomed back. Fascinating facts delivered, jokes told and circle closed. Followed by a hearty hash meal with TimTams to finish the night. 

On On till next week at Camilleri Park.

Run Date: 06/04/2026
Run No: 2375
Hare: Shocker
Venue: Settlers Rise Park & then on to 4/23 Sunset Dve, Erakala
Hashers: ????

A keen bunch of hashers gathered at Settlers Rise Park in anticipation of one of Shockers famous runs exploring new Erakala real estate developments only to be sadly disappointed with a live hare stroll around the established section of Settlers Rise. Shocker claimed Easter fathering duties as his excuse for working below his usual lofty trail setting standards.    

At run completion, proceedings relocated to Shockers abode on Sunset Drive where nearly 20 hashers were found unashamedly delving into the esky in the back of Golly’s vehicle while fighting with the swing-open rear door. Eventually, a bit of common-sense prevailed and a door prop was found.

With the circle called, the errant door situation drew a number of charges including Golly and Tonto. Pensioner contributed heartily to the joke session and the Trail Master sought unsuccessfully to challenge the GM on short-circuiting the decision for the location of the up-cumming Celebration Run. 

With the circle closed, Shocker served up a hearty main meal and in keeping with Easter tradition, provided a dessert of Easter eggs, shamelessly torn from the hands of his small children.  

This week’s run is at 20 Royal Boulevard, Glenella.

Venue: John Breen Park, North Mackay
Hashers: 17

Hi,

Monday night on Malcomson Street at Mozzie Park, where 17 hashers gathered around for some hashing.

Some went left on an envelope run, from Hasher Pensioner, while others turned right, off Beer Hunting.

A piss stop was promised, which was most welcomed after 2/3 of an all flat, but long 5km run completed.

On home, for the circle with stand in Monk, Zorro, tonight, and returning hashers, Piccolo, Lassie and Tonto.  Lamb Hot Pot for Nosh and Jam and Coconut slice for sweets, how nice was that. 

On On

Matches. 

Next week’s run is starting from Settlers Rise Park, Jardine Drive & then on to Shocker’s abode at 4/23 Sunset Dve, Erakala

Run Date: 23/03/2026
Run No: 2373
Hare: Snot & Insex
Venue: 19 Tern St, Slade Point
Hashers: 19

Seems like a lifetime away, hence I have very few memories of what happened but it went a bit like this: A bunch of hashers turned up at Snot’s joint, milled around for a while, before Snot decided to send em to the piss stop, about 7ks away. Zorro and myself decided it would be kinder to our feet if we returned to the beer. And so, we pushed back from whence we came, just in time to see the frontrunners return about an hour later.

In the absence of the Monk and Monkee, the GM decided to hand the Monk duties to U Turn, who managed to burst into literally uncontrollable laughter at a joke she was trying to tell. Impossible ! There was the usual bunch of charges, including one for me for being a returning runner, after being confined with a massive dose of the flu. The rest I don’t remember, but the piss stop leftovers seemed to be heading in all directions.

Circle bullshit over, we were introduced to Snot/Insex ‘s culinary delight…. Curried fish, vegies and stuff.  The usual banter was on display, until we all waddled off home.

Next week it’s our turn at our favourite venue Mossie Park, er, I mean John Breen Park.

See ya there

Pensch.
