Hare – JCF
Venue – Bucasia Park
Hashers: 25

It was a pleasant night with a little breeze to keep the scotch greys and sand flies at bay.

JCF called us to attention to let us know where to look for trail and that there would be a piss stop. Screw headed towards the Shoal point direction and a few more of us headed towards the Caravan Park but found the on back. We followed the concrete path to find several checks and finally the piss stop. JCF kept filling the bucket with lemonade and a coconut liqueur. It was very refreshing. On out to the main road via St Bees Avenue to check out the new owners of Tonto & Lassies place. It was a long way home and getting dark. Luckily JCF kept us going by his on-home marks. The dips, biscuits, corn chips and salsa were out already being consumed when we got back to the start. No Monk tonight so Zorro our GM ran the circle. JCF took his down down for setting the run. It was well marked and a fair distance to get us trained for our celebration run. Charges for Nicka for being too slow to join the circle. Harbour for calling Miss Appeal, Judy. Returning Runners were Delicious for being absent for 30 weeks and Just Sandra for not wearing Hash apparel. Prick Tonguer & Termite returned from their fishing trip. Jokes were told by Tonguer, Insex and Pensioner. Announcements for a Melbourne Cup get together at the Shamrock and an update on the Celebration Run numbers. The Hash song was sung.

JCF had several Lasagne trays, hot potatoes and garlic bread. Very filling and tasty followed by sticky Tim Tams.

Next weeks run will be from Muller Park, Ooralea.

Hare – Lassie & Tonto
Venue – 8 Hague Street, East Mackay
Hashers: 15

Welcome back to East Mackay where it was an amazing chase by the MH3 team trotting around the banks of the old Pioneer. Tonto setting the chalky trail to perfection so none of the runners fell off trail. For some reason the trail split into three separate runs, the pub trail, the on trail and finally the marked trail. The marked trail included an amazing piss stop hosted by Lassie which included everything from cognac to beer! Thanks also to the residents of the waterfront for allowing us to have the piss stop from such a prestigious venue.

On on and on home we gathered in a tight spot and enjoyed some entrees before the main event a tasty stew thingy.

But first the circle, and we all soon realised we had no monk or Monkee so yours truly stunned everyone with “form a circle!” No 5 minute warning or anything. Tonto got his mandatory charge for a shit hot run along with a heap of other charges too. Other charges to ummm sorry I forgot and someone else too before the jokes started flowing thick and fast. With all said and done we sang the song, closed the circle and did what we do best, ate and drank. Great night MH3 as always so until next week at Bucasia Beach opposite the Beachfront Cafe, on on!

Hare – Harbour and Just Judy
Venue – 17 Botha Street, Blacks Beach
Hashers: 24

With a hand from Google Maps a heap of runners found their way to Harbour’s and Just Judy’s joint for what turned out to be the first run Harbour has set in over 30 years.

No signs of dementia there as the run was well set with plenty of checks, hills, stairs, and chalk.  On home to the fires 🔥 burning, beers 🍻 nibbles 🥨and water 🧊yes a very rare beverage for hash. 

The circle was called which ended up being a long oblong gathering and the hares were given a thumbs up for the run 🏃‍♂️ and charged for their efforts. Harbour was charged again for over achieving with thick marks and as well as wording, turned out he had an abundance of chalk due to Just Judy being a teacher.  Just Judy was charged for supplying water to hashers.  Raggetty, Maple Syrup, Tonguer and Just Judy was charged for talking to people who were not there. Returning runners Paw Paw and Prick, Prick also for wasting his time and money going down to watch the Swans get beaten.  Hashy birthdays to Paw Paw and Shocker and Congratulations 👏🎉 to Screw for cumming way too many times.  Blurry was told to fuck off before he melted and if all of this excitement wasn’t enough a christening was announced. After a lot of thought Just Judy was christened Mrs Appeel and welcomed by all.

Top nosh was served and a delicious dessert which Tonto moved seats so he could have another piece🍮🧁.

Hare – Maple Syrup
Venue – 66 O’Brien Esplanade, Shoal Point
Hashers: 20

Maple Syrup equipped with back pack set us off for a beach walk, while the sun set for the day.

A well-deserved hash piss stop for all the good hashers who ventured out.

“On Home” the hot potatoes were served, followed by the circle, full of charges for Maple Syrup, for many reasons, and one for Lassie.

A very tasty Butter Chicken and Rice enjoyed by many, filled the bellies of the hungry hashers, and to finish off the evening’s meal, the ever-loved Tim Tams.

Excellent night for hashing, thank you Maple Syrup.

On On,

Hare – Pensioner & Mango
Venue – Annie Wood Park, Mt Pleasant
Hashers: 25

25 brave Hashers gathered in the gloomy twilight of Annie Wood Park in deepest Mt Pleasant, and watched as Flaps performed his magical light show and lit up the immediate area. As greetings were exchanged, the hare Pensioner stepped forward and briefed the crew on what would turn out to be the finest run ever held in the entire 76 year history of MkyH3. Plunging through the park we were greeted by the ghost of Annie Wood herself, who handed out ghostly refreshments that disappeared into smoke at the lightest  touch….. on the group strolled before being accosted on the final bridge by a pair of hissing snakes, skilfully despatched by the hare. On the group went, into Norris Rd and up and over the rail bridge just in time to see The Hogworts Express glide silently by…. On on they pushed until arriving at the wake park. Mostly the group walked the perimeter, but 7 brave souls decided to swim across. Emerging at the carpark the group observed a luxurious Mercedes van, the door of which opened to allow the two tuxedo clad waiters to emerge, and begin dispensing Moet Champayne to the thirsty mob, before revealing another 4 luxury vans, all waiting to transport the hashers back to Annie Wood Park….. where magically tables laden with crisp white tablecloths, highly polished cutlery and sparkling glasses were arranged in a semi circle, the bar stewards being joined by a group of silver-service waiters, who skilfully served Hor Dourves of Oysters Kilpatrick, Fine Aged Eye-fillet Steaks topped with Lobster Mornay and the seasons finest Baby Truffles, followed by Strawberries Arnoud and Havana cigars.

Now then… all of the above would be true,

if in fact

 it were not

 a lie.

Imagine asking me to write my own run report! HoHo

In truth, in the circle, it was easily voted the best run ever, followed by howls of dismay when Blurry questioned the laying of a 2-way trail. More stuff happened, but that’s enough about the circle…. On to the tucker… big pots of curried snags and vegs. Enough of that too. More beer, and a couple of slices for dessert….

Then we all pissed off, leaving Annie Wood to drift off into the gloom….

See ya next week at Maple Syrup’s joint in Shoal point.

Pensch.

Hare – Nicka Licka
Venue – Goose Ponds (Behind Goosies, Prick’s usual)
Hashers: 24

Despite uncertain conditions and a blustery wind along the ponds, 24 Hashers arrived for Nicka’s run.  He was well prepared with a table cloth to protect us from dried splashes of goose poo and multiple objects to keep said protection from flying off.

In this Hasher’s humble opinion, Nicka’s trail was perfect for a social night…flat, decently marked, through back streets and along trails in a satisfying loop.  Too bad Lassie was incapacitated and had to freeze back at the Hash table.  We missed her usual unfailing leadership.  The social interaction was so intensive, the whole gang, including Corgi (usually another unerring trail guide) missed two significant diagonal arrows and spent quite some time searching before we were finally back on trail.  Just as all relaxed we were practically taken out like 9 pins by a mad driver doing 90km/hr around a blind corner.  IDIOT!!!

Two home-made dips, bickies and chips greeted us on a successful return.  The unwary may have had a fiery, red morning today!  

Circle was called by fill-in Screw.  Good thing he could make it because without Monk, Monk-key and GM, we were Screwed…the usual routine with some returning runners: Titanic, RareButt and Israel, and Hard Drive, as well as some tag-a-longs with Raggedy and Golly: Marie and Alan.  They fit right in!

Noodles and another treacherous choice between Nicka’s normal ‘hot’ and Nicka’s concession ‘mild’ stews/curries filled our bellies.   A yummy tub of bite-sized brownies was pleasing everyone when suddenly…

Gusting wind and a driving squall drove most folks to a hasty ON-ON.  Thank-you, Nicka!  And Nicka probably thanked Piccolo, Corgi and Daffodil who were helping him tidy flapping, wet table cloth, cutlery, dirty bowls and numerous pots as we drove off.

I’ll see everyone in Shoal Point on September 30th!  

Meanwhile join Mango and Pensioner at Annie Wood Park for another interesting and fun Hashy Run next Monday.  Sorry I can’t be there.  Thanks for swapping run reports, Pench.

On-On, Maple Syrup

Hare – Screw & Fork
Venue – Mulherin Park, Mackay Harbour
Hashers: 25

20 plus Hashers, (only have 10 fingers & 10 toes) (apparently Tazan has 10 more toes) turned out to fool themselves that they still retained some level of fitness.

At 6.00 ish we all (except those that didn’t) ambled off in the direction of the golf ball way up there on the top of the hill across a very hungry field with long grass runners trying to entangle unsuspecting victims and delay their best efforts to obtain the goal of the piss stop “way up there at the top of the hill”   Some hares have a sadistic streak.

Back to the start where the drinks were cold and waiting, and the hares regained brownie points with two cobs which were consumed at a rapid rate by the flock of hungry seagulls, as usual.

Peace and harmony was being restored when the monk stuffed it up by calling the circle and proceeded to destroy the reputation of the world famous finger licking good Cnl Sanders. 

After recovering from that shock, the circle proceeded and lots of things happened “Apparently”.

Jokes and stories told, fines, birthdays, notable run events and the GM’s somewhat pathetic fashion parade and even a returning runner.

You will notice that I am a bit vague about the details of the circle that is because, I was talking enjoying my beer and completely forgot that I would be required to write the run report and really wasn’t taking much notice. The song was sung so I knew it was over.

Writing about the evening Nosh is a breeze, no matter what is served (tonight’s was very good). lt is served, the sea gulls swoop in a frantic feeding frenzy, quiet descends as it is consumed, empty containers put away and the level of conversation increases till the first person leaves then the exit happens and it’s all over till the same time next week 

 On on till the gooses next week.

Piss Stop at Otto’s and Just Sandra’s abode, in the man cave.

Stuff the hare, all hashers wandered on home…..for some more refreshments.

Plenty of charges for Snot. A down down for Otto and Just Sandra, with Otto having no idea how Hash and the Circle are conducted, trying to make a toast, for some formal gathering of souls ?? Keep hashing Otto, and you’ll conform to the high standards of Hashing.

Venue – 4 Evans Avenue, North Mackay
Hashers: 25
25 hashers commenced the run. 

We went left through the Cremorne suburb after a bit the trail led through North Mackay and into the familiar territory of John Breen Park to a well-deserved piss stop then on back to the hares abode.

Here we had a smoking ceremony to rival that of Smuts the previous week. After the welcome ceremony and the usual history lesson the circle came and went. Song sung and we partook in the culinary delights. Thanks Tarzan, but wait there was desert, Boiled fruit cake, ice cream and bottled cream.

 After that we all waddled home having drunk and eaten..happy chaps all of us.

ON ON TO SNOTS next week 19 tern street Slade Point

Hare – Blurry
Venue – Cnr Peel & Alfred Streets, Mackay
Hashers: 22

Report for run 2287 at Blurry’s abode. A willing group of about 22 turned up accompanied by some very shoddy weather Ra. And we’re boosted by a virgin runner Callum & a visit from Show Us. All jarred off in the rain on a short run which suited most of us. Huddled in half of the garage & under a dodgy fly the circle endured The Monks weekly TALK. The charges were light on as well as jokes & true stories. Luckily Blurry thought well ahead & had a sumptuous meal of steaks & salads prepared. A good night was had. See ya next week at U- Turn’s joint. ON ON
