Date – 21/04/2025
Run – 2324
Hare – Nicka Licka
Hashers – 20

Run 2324 on Monday was from  bbq area at The Goosies.  About 20 keen hashers rocked up  & almost left at 6pm. Only the sick, injured  and  other wise slack stayed to look after the fortress.  45 mins or so later the pack trickled in looking somewhat keen for Knickas snacks. Sausage rolls & spicy dip was eagerly gobbled down. Circle called & Snot, in Smuts absence, seized the chance to deliver the resume of someone somewhere who did something on this day. Tarzan waffled on about the greedy airlines making Nash Hash shift away from The traditional Easter time slot. Run was given the thumbs up.  Down Downs given.  A few charges dished out & jokes told by the usual suspects.  Main dished up of rice with yummy chicken stew, washed down by the normal array of beverages.

On On to next week at 4 Evans Ave.

Cheers The Tarboy

Date – 14/04/2025
Run – 2323
Venue: John Breen Park, North Mackay
Hare – Pensioner & Mango
Hashers – 19

Once again it is Monday evening (once a week) and from 5.30 to 6.00 a diverse group of people gather at a predetermined location to  (a) see others (b)  talk crap  (c)  drink booze  (d)  see other locations  (e)  not really sure  (f)  try someone else’s cooking 

At 6.00 ish the hare gets up (in this case Pensioner) and proceeds to tell those gathered what he wants them to do for the next 45 to 60 minutes, in his case follow written instructions. As usual this causes confused facial expressions much scratching of heads finally a decision made and people heading off to all points of the compass or the nearest chair or their car to go to the nearest pub or club  . I heard a rumour thar some even followed the written instructions,  some people just can’t think for themselves ,finally after the allocated time all return to the park because beverages have been provided 

One would think that this would mean a time for relaxation and conversation and it was till the bloody Monk disrupted good karma to give us a history lesson and to accuse some of us of being naughty boys & girls . Because some idiot in the dark ages bestowed power to his position we had to listen what he had to say This included that the hare stuffed up and also told false stories last week and that he and mango just served a longer incarceration for  marriage than for murder,  Titanic for no hash gear Harbor for being harbor and a fair group of people not for missing some hash runs but for coming back .That were others but I am getting old 

 The evenings gastronomic delights were produced when the monk finally shut up was gratefully attacked and devoured by the swarming seagulls in what is traditionally the shortest time period in the whole evening 

After a much more sedate period of conversation and substance intake a few of the fossils started packing up their equipment and started the evacuation which in the blink of an eye left the park vacated.  

Next week’s run will be at the BBQ area behind the Gooses club. This is so they won’t have to drive there ” god I’m kind ‘

Run – 2322
Hare – JCF
Hashers – 16

I forgot to write this, so relying on memory nothing happened. Well, I remembers a little….. 16 brave souls braved the perfect weather to gather at Bucasia Beach. JCF rolled in with a newby Daniel, and proceeded to load the table up with piles of food, suspected to have been liberated from a mining camp somewhere…. Anyway, on to the run. My bung leg decided I wasn’t going anywhere, so the run was a non-event for me. Others reckoned it was OK though

Soon enough the tribe returned and ingested mounds of said food. After some drinking of beer, someone noticed the absence of the monk, and so Golly stepped forward. There was charges aplenty, but I can’t recall them. Golly forgot to call for jokes, so there wasn’t any. Usual stuff continued on until the song was sung and the circle closed.

The hoard then fell upon the piles of tucker, and discovered two large trays on lasagne nestled in amongst the other stuff, causing a number or runners to begin looking rather bloated.

Soon enough it was on-home, so off we went, leaving JCF to load the remains into his wagon and take it somewhere else.

Next week it’s back to old favourite John Breen Park….. see ya there

Pensioner.

Run – 2321
Hare – Flaps
Venue – Carlisle Gardens, Andergrove
Hashers: 18 

The skies were threatening us all with more rain but apparently mud we never fear only running outta beer. 

Having promised us a piss stop we eagerly followed perfectly round dots around Carlisle gardens never fearing the mud in pursuit of the amber liquor. True to his word the hare arrived on his electric scooter with an esky.

We then reassembled at villa 202. After a brief argument Pensioner assumed the Monks duties and Snot the  monkeys. Here is the unusual thing, Flaps being the hare and stand in choirmaster he sang himself the down down song and we all had a drink to the great run.

Jokes told, fines given, an big welcome back to Piccolo. Then we tucked into the 3 course meal.

Having a full tummy and not at all thirsty i packed up my chair and went home

Run – 2320
Hare – Juice & Termite
Venue – Cnr Ridolfi’s Rd & Sugarshed Rd & then Barclays Rd, Dumbleton
Hashers: 12

12 dedicated hashers turned up for another great hash run. Numbers were well down on the usual runs mainly because a lot of hashers are currently travelling all over the country. Matches, Zorro, Tarzan, Lassie and Tonto at Nash Hash. Maple Syrup is travelling somewhere not nearly as exciting as being in Mackay for a hash run Smut is on a yacht travelling from Coffs Harbour to Airlie Beach (tough job but someone has to do it. Harbour and Mrs A somewhere, Nicka Licka somewhere else and Piccolo Pirata still in Tassie.

The multitude gathered at the corner of Ridolfies road and Sugarshed road, from there it was up and down along a bit, along a bit more then back to the cars and on to Juice and Termite’s abode.

Everyone was settling down when a load bang was heard, apparently a tree jumped out of nowhere and attacked Golly’s car biting his back side window. I hear lawsuits are in the air against said tree. Of course, what should happen but a couple of heavy showers of rain, lawsuits against God for rain damage.

Nibbles were served, and very nice, hot sausage and veggie rolls were offered up.  GM called the circle together and the hares were given their just desserts. Down down given to Golly for letting a tree attack his car. Flaps for being so very good looking, still looks 21 and a bit. Unfortunately returning runner (Prick) missed out on a down down, but hashers have very short memories and will have forgotten about that next week.  A couple of quick jokes and then it was nosh time.  Curried mince, however, as there were so few people there was no rice or bread, but  the curry was still great nevertheless.

On sex told everyone that Christmas in July would be at the Proserpine Caravan Park the first weekend in July, next monthly dinner will be held this Saturday night at 7.00pm at Roshni’s Indian restaurant Victoria street.

Next week’s run will be at Flaps’ abode in Carlyle Gardens. Just follow the road in across the small bridge and then straight ahead, can’t miss it (unless you do).

On on till next week. Flaps

Date – 17/03/2025
Run – 2319
Hare – Daffodil & Corgi
Venue – Evolution Park, 76 Maggioli Drive, Paget.
Hashers: 18

Hashers who hold a Seniors Card should be exempt from writing a run report as they can’t retain the information they need, it has completely dribbled away by the time the honourable secretary notifies them that the game is up and the report has to be produced.

The evening was dank, dark and drizzly but nothing fazes our Hares, everything runs like clockwork so I’m plucking at straws here. Daffodil gives the pack clear instructions but now I’m thinking that we had to follow the Hare instead of set marks. That’s what I did anyway as I’m sure …. (Unfortunately, Insex just rang now to check on the report’s progress and I’ve lost my train of thought).

The route was 3.3 km. As well as not walking with the entertaining Maple Syrup, Shocker is also to be avoided if you need to note the surroundings for a run report.  I had great difficulty in keeping up with his long, leggy stride plus sidestepping puddles and wet, overhanging branches. Returning to Evolution Park I was non-plussed to see some back-end hashers had already arrived as well as the mosquitoes. 

Smut had lost any authority if indeed he ever had it as the circle didn’t materialise when he called it and the do-gooders were left standing. Eventually all were rounded up. It was St. Patrick’s day and thankfully Smut had something interesting to hang his hat on instead of the usual fare. Normally it’s as dreary as the topic of ‘retaining walls’ at Executive Lunch. Flaps was the choir master and as always came forth with a joke. It was no joke when Termite lost my car keys which reminds me that there were some well-deserved charges for the night. 

Damp weather didn’t dampen the presentation of the food, it was thoroughly enjoyable. Termite has lost his mind and is aiming to also cook rice next week. He has been warned that he can’t compete. What the heck!! The hashers were also fortunate to have a roof overhead while eating and Daffodil was prepared with lights. I digress here: in 1991 Daffodil was the only one who was able to fix my tape recorder on the Canning Stock Route – doctors and carpenters pshaw!!!

 Next week’s true blue Hash run will start on the corner of Sugar Shed Rd and

Ridolfi’s Rd. Food will be at 12 Barclays Rd, Dumbleton. Entrees will be available if Insex recovers from the birthday tonight.

Run – 2318
Hare – Smut
Venue – 20 Royal Boulevard, Glenella
Hashers: 18

A morning storm cleared to sunshine getting that washing dried and a clear pleasant evening for a walk around the streets of Glenella. Close to 6, Smut called everyone out the front and we were followed the live hare to find the piss stop at the park in Vola Street. We followed the footpath back home. Dips and Biscuits were washed down with cold beer. Beers in hand Smut called for the circle and gave us our history lesson on Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the Telephone. He charged himself for his run and called for charges and jokes. Corgi got charged for being missing for 2 weeks and Nicker for 1 week.  Matches & Zorro for hogging the fan and Insex for her Birthday. Flaps was charged for ripping up Smuts lawn as he reversed to Smuts back yard. Pensioner told us a story about Blurry setting a new record speed of 153mph on his 650cc motor bike at Speed Week at Lake Gairdner in South Australia. Jokes were told by Flaps, Maple Syrup, Pensioner and Insex. Hash nosh was served, Tuna Bake, Taco Rice and Dahl. Plenty to go round a second time followed by a chocolate oats slice. A good night was had by all. Thanks to Smut and Rita.

 Next week’s run Evolution Park 76 Maggiolo Drive, Paget

Date – 03/03/2025
Run – 2317
Hare – Harbour & Mrs Appeal
Venue – Camilleri St Park, Blacks Beach
Hashers: 16

Hot and sticky conditions confronted a hardy bunch of hashers at the Camilleri Street District Park in Blacks Beach.

The air was soon filled with the pungent smell of insect repellant before Harbour & Mrs Appeal issued run instructions to the gathered throng – most appeared to respond favourably to the advice that there would be a piss-stop.

 A well marked trail led runners to the Barber Street Playground where Mrs Appeal was waiting with a very welcome ice-cold ginger-themed refreshment – most went back for seconds on the grounds that the hares had supplied bountiful amounts of hash piss combined with the stiflingly hot conditions – some were even making bold statements suggesting it was the hottest Hash Run on record. 

 Upon arrival back at the District Park, hot and sweaty runners were greeted by a fresh-looking Juice and Termite, rambling on about not knowing where the run was. 

 The circle was formed by the 17 hashers in attendance before a history lesson was delivered, down-downs issued, jokes shared, new hash shirts distributed plus next week’s run and Executive Lunch venues announced . The circle closed out with a rousing rendition of the Hash song .

 A piping-hot tasty casserole accompanied by rice was served followed by some homemade banana cake. Despite the stifling conditions, a large cohort lingered around well into the evening talking crap.

 See you next Monday night at 20 Royal Boulevard, Glenella

Run – 2316
Hare – Golly and Raggedy Ann
Venue – 4 Trochus Court, Slade Point
Hashers: 20

20 Hashers arrived at Golly and Raggedy Ann’s place to hear the tale of the short sharp shower that dropped 5ml of rain at Shoal Point and washed away the hours of work done by Golly setting the run.

Eventually the rag tag crew set off for a short sharp run around Shoal Point with one long run up the hill and then swiftly back for piss stop at 4 Trochus. Returning runner/walker, Flaps set off with his wheelie walker at a cracking speed only to be done in by the rough roads and steep inclines. Keep up the great work Flaps. Insex made a surprise return after her stay in that big place on Bridge Road where lots of wonderful People look after you.

Flaps left everyone flabbergasted when after refusing a lovely hot tasty party pie, he got one for himself before they were all devoured. Cheese and crackers were also devoured before the circle was called. History lesson on the SS Gothenberg lost in cyclone off Bowen on this day in 1875, delivered by Smut with Shocker chiming in on the details.

Lots of Down Downs including ones for overachievers getting spectactular items for numbers of runs achieved (Shocker, Matches and Termite). Lots of jokes and true stories entertained us and then it was time for lots of yummy food. Potatoes with garlic butter, pasta and meatballs and tasty little sausages followed up by everyone’s favourites – Favourites Chocolates so wonderfully wrapped little morsels with all checking out their favourites.

 Thanks Golly and Raggedy for a great night.

 On, On,
