Hashers – good roll-up!

A good rollup of old hashers turned up at Illawong beach for Corgy and Daffodil’s Monday night run. The wind was howling straight off the ocean as we headed off away from the beach and down the road towards the AFL grounds. Here we ran out of road and crossed the grass verge on to the next road…..but no….Corgy found the track heading into a newly mowed nice flat grass paddock, so off we went heading for the footy grounds. From here we headed back into the streets and found our way back to the ON ON. 

The trail was well thought out and very well marked and I thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Back at the ON ON, we paid our dues and attacked the nibbles. The wind was howling but Daffodil had the problem covered. Ropes were tied top and bottom around the wind side of the shelter and a big tarp was strung up. Brilliant! The wind was held at bay and the circle commenced. The Monk brought the pack up to speed on Dish Lickers, with interesting information regarding greyhound racing.  The usual jokes, charges and information updates were completed and drinks for returning runners were dished out. 

Miss Corgy set the Tucker up and everyone tucked in to a nice chicken and rice dinner. 

More beers went down the gullet till it was time to pack up the wind break and head home. Well done Corgy and Daffodil, great job. 

C u next week at the South Seas Islander meeting hut. Bring a chair!

Hashers – 18

Another clear night with the full moon coming on Thursday. We weren’t going to be cold tonight Tarzan had two braziers ready to light and the first thing he said to me was that can you look after the fire tonight. Harbour had brought some extra wood too. Piccolo had the lighter in hand and started the kindling. Mrs Appeal got the second brazier to light first but the other wasn’t lighting up until Harbour reorganised the kindling. To our surprise H – Madame Curie had arrived from Bribie Island for the night. Smut & Maple Syrup were back from holidays. Tarzan called the pack out to the front with our envelopes to open for the run. They were from his run that got rained out a while ago. We could do with that drop of rain but it wasn’t working tonight. The Kooyong  Hotel was tempting Zorro & Snot to visit again. We ventured down to St Vinnies turning right to wind through the streets past Piccolo’s place and around back to John Breen Park for a drink stop. The dogs in the neighbourhood were doing their jobs of letting their owners know us oldies were walking the streets. Blurry’s dogs were keeping up with their little legs but DD was making a choking sound all the way and even when we stopped at John Breen Park. That was normal for him Blurry said. Just excited.

Fork & Screw arrived late but looked after the fire for us.

We received a different nibbly tonight – fresh oysters to go with your dip. U-turn said she was cleaning out the freezer. Circle was called by Smut. Did you miss me he said and yes we did miss the history lessons or important facts but we can’t remember. Must be an age thing or brain cells diminishing. Charges were given and jokes were told. Executive lunch, Committee Meeting & Dining out announcements were reminded. Savoury Mince & Pasta was very tasty. Tarzans’s secret recipe with spices. Dessert was pavlova with delicious Strawberries, Kiwi fruit and whipped cream. Blurry gave his dogs a bone or two to chew on then DD was out like a light for the night. Poor Teddy was dragged from under the chairs when Snot went home. He wasn’t going any where near the fire to say good night. We all started heading home when Golly called last drinks.

Top effort and another enjoyable night.

Run Date: 17/08/2026
Run No: 2394
Hare: Golly & Raggedy Ann
Venue: 4 Trochus Court, Shoal Point
Hashers: 16

A rather small band of 16 hardy hashers turned up at Golly & Raggedy’s abode keen for the usual action on such nights.  Being still on the injured list I did not complete the full run but at the compulsory vote I was informed that  it was indeed a good run.  I had to take this as gospel.  Stand in Monk (Pensioner) tried hard to emulate the feats of Smut but he needed a little prompting along the way.  Nevertheless we proceeded with a few charges, some jokes & a bawdy rendition of the club song.  Yummy nosh was eagerly gobbled down by the hungry pack then we called it a night.

ON ON till next week at Tarzan & U- Turns joint.

The Tarboy.

Run Date: 10/08/2026
Run No: 2393
Hare: Snot & Insex
Venue: 19 Tern Street, Slade Point
Hashers: 20

Some 20 odd looking runners logged up at 19 Tern St to start on our weakly exercise.  We were taken out front from under new car port Snot was putting up just in case. Out front we were set off.  Nothing was said about needing glasses.  Some marks needed the taste test  to make sure we were on trail.  Down the road we went – L-R on & on & on.  Some runners took off .

Eventually we came across the piss stop.  All fucked! We all had our drink .Run goes that way on Home – no marks find your one way.   

Back at start for nibbles.  Whingers all sounded like a bunch of hens about to lay an egg.  Shocker stepped up and ran the circle.  Charges taken for anything.  We need to do a bit off homework and come up with more stories & jokes .  New Old returning runner Playtex Lassies  sister got a down down.  Song was sung and circle closed.  Food came out.  Bangers & mash shut all the chooks up and drank more piss & talked more shit.

Congratulations to Piccolo for achieving 400 runs.  

See you at  Trochus Ct Shoal Point.

ON-ON Golly.

Run No: 2392
Hare: Piccolo
Venue: 82 Grendon St, North Mackay
Hashers: 20

Spot on 20 hashers braved the cold and threatening rain. We were warmed by a fire or should I say firewood and an empty fire pit. We were all seated while Corgi lit the cauldron.

Eventually the pack left and for a short time were enjoying the experience but then there was very cold windy rain so they all came back. Meanwhile BloJo completely fucked up the fire which degenerated into a smoke hazard. Despite fanning the smoke with paper, all efforts proved fruitless with nature supplying rain to quell the smoke.

 so

BloJo then rounded up all chairs and moved them under cover so We all sat down to festivities which included boiled potatoes.  We were all enjoying the ambience when we were plunged into darkness when the power went out.  We had just sorted out torches etc when it came back on. Rain cleared so everyone ventured back outside. Corgi then demonstrated to all how to get a roaring fire going using damp wood. Stand in Monk Lassie got the circle proceedings underway:

Fines:- Hare – times 3.

             Mrs Appeal – new runners

             BloJo – a couple including firefighting skills or lack of

             Zorro – just because

Jokes and true stories told,  and that being about all circle closed  and song sung.

Weather Conditions: Cool

On-Trail: The Misadventure Begins**

The pack assembled at Harbours abode with the usual mix of optimism and misplaced trust.   Hare Harbour took the stage to deliver a pre-trail brief full of bold claims about “clear markings,” “minimal elevation,” and a “dry footwear guarantee.”

On the call of **”ON-ON!”**, the pack surged forward. It took less than ten minutes for the Front-Running Bastards (FRBs) to fall victim to a deceptively placed Check, scattering in every direction while the Short-Cutting Bastards (SCBs) wisely took a direct line toward the rumours of a Piss Stop.  The Walkers successfully completed a 1km “leisurely stroll” that somehow included no pub stops before the runners had even found the back-check.

Grand Master Insex eventually dragged the pack into formation. Religious Adviser, our beloved Monk Smut stepped up to hand out cold brew and hot accusations after first giving us a history lesson about which escapes me.  The Hare: Harbour was summoned for trail trial. Verdict: Guilt on all counts (too much pavement, bad flour placement, general incompetence). Down-Down!  General Misdemeanours:  – Zorro for being Zorro, Insex and Snot for being returning runners. There were others but weren’t all that important.  Jokes told, song sung & circle closed.

Circle reopened for a Sympathy sip for Shafter the founder of executive lunches.

Circle concluded, the pack retreated to their chairs to refuel on a scrumptious chicken an rice feast followed by passion fruit slice and debate whether the trail was actually 1km or 2km. Or whether the fire needed more wood. 

Next Week’s Run No 2592 is at 82 Grendon Street, Hare: Piccolo

Mackay Full Moon Hash’s Christmas in July at Goosies. It looks like a good time was had by all. 

Date – 20 July 2026
Run – 2390
Hare – Smut
Venue – 20 Royal Boulevarde
Hashers – 15 Hardy Hashers

Twas a drizzly and cold evening when a few intrepid Hashers gathered at Smut’s abode in Glenella. After many complaints about the weather some of those Hashers decided to go for a walk in the inclement weather. The first group of SCB’s soon turned up to enjoy a frosty refreshment soon followed by the lost SCB’s. It appeared that only a couple of runners even found and followed the whole trail.

Down, downs were had with most of all of the SCB’s taking one of for the good of the group. Lovely warm nosh followed the jokes with Pensh and Blurry contributing to the tall tales.

All enjoyed each other’s company until finally it was time to head home with all praying for better weather next week. See you at 17 Botha. ON ON.

Date – 13 July 2026
Run – 2389
Hare – Knicker Licker
Venue – BBQ behind Goosies, at the Goose Ponds
Hashers – 21

• 21 or so hashers showed-up for Knicker Licker’s run at the Gooseponds – an enthusiastic recovery in numbers from the previous week due to the bleak and dreary conditions
• The hare had studiously prepared 10 envelopes to direct participating runners – lack of concentration in the lead pack resulted in some mild confusion at one stage, but all runners successfully completed the near 3.5km trail
• Upon return, Knicker served a hearty, piping-hot chicken and vegetable soup for entree
• The circle formed and a bountiful number of charges were laid – one controversial moment arose out of some Harbour body-shaming (apparently showed a little too much of his manly upper-body form while disrobing), but both charger and reverser agreed to take a dual down-down, alleviating an impasse 
• An above-normal standard of jokes were delivered
• Shocker took his returning runner charge 
• A sippy-sip for Crab’s partner
• Executive Hash venue at Seabreeze Tavern determined before a rousing rendition of the club song
• Knicker served a very tasty chicken curry with an unusual coloured rice twist (bright blue, yellow & green) followed by a scrumptious home-made chocolate brownie slice
• Spirited fellowship continued until just before 9pm when all attendees exited and returned home
• See you all next Monday evening at 20 Royal Boulevard, Glenella

Date – 6 July 2026
Run – 2388
Hare – Mango and Pensioner
Venue – John Breen Park
Hashers – 16

16 Hashers of questionable sanity assembled in the park during cold, wet and windy conditions expecting to follow a set trail around the Burbs 0f North Mackay for our weekly Monday hash run… Idiots!

After Harbour erected a hasty tarp to reduce our miserable conditions, the group, except the smart ones who stayed behind the shelter & near the booze, took off pretending to be heroes but all I heard about the run was that there was a piss stop. Pensioner supplied additional info by mentioning that the hash brew was a combination of the dregs from forgotten bottles of booze from the cupboard.

After a few drinks, some crackers and dips the monk destroyed the amicable conversations by prattling on about the NSW police force was first formed from convicts… “DUH nobody suspected that”!  Followed by the usual charges, jokes, recognition of Daffodils 1900th Run and welcome back to PRICK.   Nosh was served and attacked by hungry seagulls to be warmed by delicious warm food.

More drinks then PRICK started to Wilt, a bloody good effort under the conditions. I took him home so I have no further knowledge what was happening.  (PS. Everyone else took off home too…atrocious conditions when the trap came down!)

It is my run next week from the BBQ area behind Zorro’s watering hole (goosies)

Date – 29 June 2026
Run – 2387
Hare – Matches
Venue – 2 Glenpark St, Andergrove
Hashers – 18

See if this sounds familiar:

A bunch of old codgers turn up at someone’s house, in this case Matches and Zorro, and then set off on a run. Well, walk more accurately describes it, and mostly in the wrong direction. On return to the host’s house beers are swallowed before the monk dribbles on about nothing, hands out down-downs for frivolous charges, invites jokes, and birthday greetings, before closing with a song, and moving on to more important things, such as gobbling down the host’s offerings, ( in this case fresh bread rolls with sliced corn beef and potato bake) Then the mob drinks more beer, before slinking off home.

If this is familiar, turn up at John Breen Park next week, and we’ll do it all again!
