Run No #2134
Hare: Lassie
Venue: 23 St Bees Avenue, Bucasia
Hashers: 23

23 hashers descended on the Bucasia Botanical Gardens, more commonly referred to as Lassie & Tonto’s joint. After milling around for a while, Tonto called our attention to a chalk arrow and said “off you go”. First stop was confusion at the corner of Bucasia Rd, until Corgi found an arrow and yelled OnOn….. Tonto then directed us down a dirt track beside a cow paddock, housing a bunch of newly bred weaners, who took offence at our presence and took of galloping hither and thither, causing a family of plovers to take to the sky in fright, which only served to stir the youngsters even more. 697 local dogs then joined in the fray, at which time the moo-cows chucked a u-ey, and bounded off back from whence they came. Meantime, we found our way into Royal Sands Estate, where we crept along, hoping the residents would not associate us with the cacophony of cows bellowing in the distance. Eventually we wandered back onto Buc Rd, and headed home, that is, until Tonto guided us down a side street towards the beach, where, in a darkened bus-stop, we found Lassie doling out a mixture from a bucket. Then, it really was on-home, where we found a bunch of short-cutters who missed the piss-stop.

Lassie produced several trays of nachos, which quickly disappeared, so the Monk called the circle to order. Down down for the hare for his stirling effort, and a birthday drink for Lassie. Tounger was charged for coming to Hash instead of taking his wife out on her birthday, which he quickly reversed as he was a chauvinist and wasn’t taking her anywhere! Eventually though, he succumbed and accepted his down down. Shocker also got a down down for accusing JCF of wearing a hat in the circle, which JCF informed him was acceptable since he was just outside of the circle. Shocker also got downed for being a new runner, well, we hadn’t seen him for a few months. There may have been other charges, but me forgets.

Wheelie-Bin seemed to greatly enjoy proceedings, with much noise and flapping of the arms.

Flaps and Prick both told jokes, and then we kinda run outta things to do. So, out came the club song and the circle shut. 

Lassie joined Tonto in the kitchen, and before long out came steaming bowls of curried sausages and rice, which was gobbled down by the hungry hoard. Several more beers was downed, and then the mob slowly dispersed. 

Below is directions to next weeks run, easy to find, don’t get lost!

Pensioner & Mango’s run #2136, 29/9/21
Carpark, end of Radiata St, Plantation Palms Head to The Northern Beaches Bowls Club. 

Turn into Rosewood Dve and head past the bowls club and the High School. Follow Rosewood for a km or so, until you come to a new housing estate. Take the 2^nd street on the right, Radiata St. At the end don’t turn left or right, but go straight ahead into the carpark.

Note: This estate is new, and is not yet shown on SatNav maps.

Run Date: 13 September 2021
Run No #2133
Hare: Prick
Venue: 1 Kenzey St, Nth Mackay
Hashers: 20

20 runners turned up for the run at Pricks place and we all eagerly sprinted out the front.

Most crossing the road and heading left Smut was commenting about the vacant land available across

the road you may be getting a new neighbour Prick.  I feel there may have been 2 trails as some went under the bridge

once and others twice but all runners found their way back.

Circle was called with an unsure what number run it was. The hare was charged as deserved followed by an charge for JCF for

leaving his chair and song book behind at Flaps place. Next JCF was charged for stealing Flaps chair from his car followed by you

guessed it JCF with his buddies Zorro and Half a Boat for turning left and going straight to the pub. They are now known as the 3

must have beers.  Jokes were told and an unsuccessful try to recharge Blurry for his birthday again. There was a charge for phone

in the circle but was reversed as phone was being used to sing the hash song unsuccessfully. 

Very hot pies in aplenty were served with mushy pies. Last drinks were called and Piccallo tried to hide in the esky.

ON ON LASSIE

Run Date: 30^th August 2021
Run No #2132
Hare: Half a Boat
Venue: Cremorne , Nth Mackay
Hashers: 24

This was the venue of the year! You could still hear the whistle of bullets from the bikie shootout , and there was the roar of police sirens and the thunder of big Harlies in the distance.  Despite this, 24 intrepid runners gathered to commit themselves to the challenge of a super run through the mangroves and along the river. 

Halfa appeared in Crocs; no mud and not a mark on them. Not a good indication of a challenging run! We assembled on Barnes Creek Rd and it was on on over the bridge. At the Southern end of the bridge there was nothing; no marks, no arrows no chalk. There was sweet FA. Some had a wander along the river, some did a loop around a city block, but most simply went back over the bridge to the piss. Probably then run would have won the award for the best chalk conservation. Ever!

A circle was formed, a few jokes, a few down downs , a sing song, and then a great feed. A few more beers and it was then time to head on home to Mummy. 

Next Run: September 13.  Prick. 1 Kenzey Street.   ON ON. 

Run Date: 30^th August 20201
Run No #2131
Hare: Fork & Screw
Venue: Willetts Road Park  North Mackay
Hashers: 23     

We were all waiting for the rain and yes it started to spit on the way across the bridge and then stopped when we arrived. On the left before the bridge someone was bailing the grass for fodder I thought they better hurry up and get it in the shed. The ducks were being watched by a young family but luckily the ducks didn’t join us.

Flaps had his stove set up and Daffodil  put up the light for the night thinking the rain wouldn’t start until later. Live Hare Screw set off towards Red Rooster along the walking path.

It was great to see Shizza from Airlie Beach and Paw Paw come for a run with us again.

Back along the main road to Mount P Tavern for a drink stop. Fork came out with a few jugs and they were quickly emptied. Daffodil & Tarzan were the last but they made it in for their drink. The pitter patter on the roof became heavier and yes it was a wet on home.

Nibbles were out organised by Flaps while the rain came down still. Cheerios with sticks were discovered and passed around before packing up to go back to Flaps place for the circle.

Streakers dog Donny was wrapped up in a towel to dry off and sat on a chair behind Streaker where he stayed until he dried off.  Beers & Ciders in hand Smut started the circle. Jokes and Charges were called for. Screw took his charge for the run and then a welcome back drink for Shizza & Paw Paw.

To our surprise a Christening. Hard Drives mate  Rhys became RAREBUTT. A cold beer to wet his head and a cold cider to down and he didn’t flinch a bit. Next weeks run & Executive lunch announced the Song sung, Fork brought out the Hash Nosh of curried sausages & rice which warmed us up. Next was special chocolate cakes supplied by Top Knot.

The rain became heavier so a few made the dash to their cars homeward bound. A few of us kept Flaps up a bit later until the rain eased. Thanks to Fork & Screw, Flaps & Top Knot for their extra efforts for the Committee run.

We all gathered at Streakers house, and waited until more arrived, thinking some may have ventured out to the Northern Beaches.
We were given instructions to follow the hare, and there will be a piss stop,
But after the hare was informed that where we were heading for the piss stop,
they close at 6,
So on on we followed the Hare to arrive at the Shamrock Hotel, after circling the hotel for awhile, we finally found the right door to enter,
The dogs were sorted out, with Poor Blurry having to go outside, with the 2 dogs, they were not allowed to come in for a drink, But Lassie was allowed.
On on home Blurry was given something in a paper bag for his good deeds
Smut, piccolo, and knicker, didn’t check there emails, to see that the venue had been changed, and headed to the Northern Beaches, while they waited for more people to arrive, they watered the garden, and fed the cat ,
Nibbles were served, Dips and chips, Flaps made some Delicious Beef Tarts, which he instructed , best to heat in oven , not microwave, sorry to late, still tasted yummy,
Circle was called, Down Down for Hare, who was also charged for not checking that the Bowls Club closes at 6.
Down Down for Tongues Birthday, Down Down for Wheely, who was awarded for 100 Runs, well done,
Jokes were plenty, Smuts was something about l leg one eye, and Pensioner always talks about his friend Flavio,
Circle was closed,
The Fire Pit finally got going, after Matches entertained us with her chopping skills,
we were very worried a Toe might disappear, Fire Princess, Matches, sprinkled some fairy dust, into the Fire, Magical Blue Flames appeared, to our amazement,
Hash Nosh was served, yummy Corned Beef, hot potatoes, and Coleslaw, and a choice of Condiments,
Dessert all time Favourites, Tim Tams,

Hare: Flaps
Venue: 17 Jarrah Court Beaconsfield
Hashers – 24

Arriving at Flaps, we all lined our chairs around the fire in a big circle out the back where the coals were burning (heating up apparently) to be placed on the fire just at the right time. Flaps called us out the front where he then gave out ‘Legs 11’ envelopes for the run for the evening for a 4.1 kilometre walk apparently.

Very cleverly marked run – by the time you make it to the 2^nd envelope reading, you’d done over half the course, so some short cutting bastards, were in a dilemma. Some dropped out but most meandered the streets of Andergrove getting a good view of the new Coles at Andergrove which has good reviews! And learning the names of the streets as we went along.

Once back, Esky opened, the fire was ablaze, and nibbles were out along with soup for the weary wanderers.

Circle called, remembering 16^th August for whatever Smut had dug deep back to 1500’s. Hooker noted the Monk had omitted to inform the group of the real reason Michael Angelo was commissioned to create ‘David’, being that it was out there for the world to see; it’s OK to have an average sized penis.

A special down/down touched the hearts of even the toughest Mackay Hashers. A special drink for Rita Zammit (Golly’s Mum’s 100^th birthday). Golly and Raggedy couldn’t be there with her in Victoria as bloody COVID interfered. Anyway, we had a cheers to Golly’s Mum.

Hare Flaps was given several down downs and 1 was for not putting stamps on the envelopes he gave out! After all he was the Post Office best Manager, what was he thinking!

Hashy Birthday down down to me….yes 21 again on Wednesday. Thanks for the male Hashers for providing the entertainment with their jokes.

Flaps then managed to produce a feast of 2 dishes, sweet and sour pork and a very yummy chicken and rice dish, all devoured and appreciated. But wait there’s more, apple pasties, donuts and the ‘all-sorts cake’.

Gradually the numbers started fading as chairs got packed up, goodbyes were said as everyone made their way On Home, thanking Flaps for an awesome effort.

On On

Hare: Tarzan
Venue: 4 Evans Ave,Nth Mackay
Hashers – 26

Hi Hashers. Mondays run from Tarboys place of residence was a party affair, it being Tarboys seventyturd (sorry seventythird) birthday. A crowd of 26 turned out to help celebrate the occasion.

The mob was called to order (it turned out to be disorder) no-one taking any notice of the hare as he tried to explain the run. Different coloured arrows, which everyone thought meant different things like a check or an onback, but no Tarboy was just using up the left over chalk. It was then out to the front to find out which direction to take, then it was off down Evans ave to Grendon steet down Palmer, Tarboy had to let Mariki Pussy know there would be a fence involved on the run, so had to take her and Wheelie on a separate run. It was then on to the piss stop a concoction of left over wine and fruit in what could be called a Spanish sangria. The FRB flaps was sprinting on home past the Kooyong hotel, when a voice called out FLAPS come on inside, it turned out to be JCF, Zorro and Half a Boat, enjoying the hospitality of the said hotel. Everyone eventually made it back safely to enjoy a cold beer on a cold night.

It then changed, with the Monkee calling for a circle in five minutes, when the Monk said the nosh was going to be served first (a first) U-turns sister turned up with a boot load of pizzas, which everyone then quickly got into. Then out came the spag bol, very delicious.

Finally a circle was formed with the hare getting his just desserts (the cake came later), charges were laid, and down downs given. I think Blurry is getting a bit forgetful telling a joke he told only two runs earlier, at least he didn’t forget how to have a down down. Cake came out with candles on it, no room for 73 candles, u-turn had a bit of trouble getting the candles to light, but eventually did, and hashy birthday was sung to Tarboy with great gusto. The song was sung and the circle was then close-ed.

The fire was lit and marshmallows toasted. In the end a great night was had by all.

A reminder about our celebration run on the 15^th of September, reminding everyone to get their nominations in ASAP.

On on to next week at 17 Jarrah Street Beaconsfield.

Hashers – 24

Here is the run report for Mon 2 Aug 2021. A gallant band of 24 turned up at a new venue.(Slightly controversial) Off to a slow canter towards the roundabout  Where  there  were multiple checks. Lost a few on the way & a few short cutters. All arrived at the piss stop eventually. On home from here quite uneventfully. Then a  group decision Was made by way of a democratic vote to stay or go to another venue. Eyes were upon  us as it was a public place .The circle was then conveniened in an inconspicuous space with no raucous singing of hash songs. A few down  downs followed by some  very tame jokes none of which require retelling. Nosh was basic fare of sausages with bread(unbuttered) & sauce. Pineapple for dessert as a bonus. ON home then .See you at the Tarboys place next week, Birthday spectacular is promised. All gifts, Down downs greatly appreciated.

See you there TARBOY.

Our medal winners were our diving/swimming champion Flaps, and best supporters were Delicious & Distillery. What a champion team we are.

Run No #2126
Hare: Daffodil & Corgi
Venue: Muller Park, Planlands
Hashers – 19

19 Rugged up beautiful people turned up at the dog/train park on Monday night to take on the Corgy/Daffodil trail.

Instructions were given to the raucous crowd, and off we went. Through the back blocks of Oralee we walked, with Lassie (a late bloomer by the looks of it, as years ago she would rarely hit the trail, what’s more, be striding out in front) disparaging into the distance, with the rest of us unable to keep up.

We went through streets that I did not know even existed, and at some stage we can’t have been far from Sarina and Walkerston……(editorial B.S.)

Anyhow we eventually made it back to the esky via a very well marked trail.

Everyone rugged up to keep out the sneaky cold wind, while nibbling on crackers and yummie dips.

The circle was called to order and the usual down downs to the hare along with various charges were administered with songs by the stand in (retired) song master, Tar Boy. While on the topic of Tar Boy, the young fella turned up in shorts and a T shirt, with no warm gear. Would say that he was feeling numb by the end of the night.

Corgy and Daf whipped a tasty chicken curry brew from the back of their car, along with a big bowl of rice. The pack hoed in to the nosh, and within no time the tucker was gone.

? Pussie (hash piss) who advised earlier that she was no longer committed to the boyfriend, and was now a free agent, decided it was time to pack up the esky and Wheelie and get back to Tinder, and so called last drinks. 

By then, our bellies were full of tucker and beer/sider, and we all waddled off to our various roosts.

A good night out, so thanks to the Corgy/Daffodil team.

Next weeks run is from the Sugar Bowl Skate park, down the road to the PCYC.

See you all there, Bluuuurrrrr.
