Hare: Piccolo
Venue: 82 Grendon Street North Mackay
Hashers: 21
We arrived on time to be warned of the green ants that bite if you were sliding past Half a Boats vehicle. Getting past 6 we all gathered out front but still no Tonguer. Nicker advised the run was set on chalk and flour. A new runner, Julie, had joined us tonight. Hooker and Raggedy Anne welcomed her to the group and looked after her for the run. Down Grendon street after the first on back and around the back of the houses skirting the mangroves and along the levee bank to the Goose Ponds. Nicker encouraged everyone the long way round saying we may be crossing the creek. I noticed there was a large melaleuca tree which had boards nailed to the trunk leaning across the creek but there were no marks that way thank goodness. The front runners lead the way across the dog park entrance to Malcolmson street when we turned towards home quite a few blocks away. All were making their way home via different streets and even Tonguer who must have followed trail after arriving late. We all were perspiring and glad of the cold beers for there wasn’t much of a breeze and the mozzies were out. Knotthead was really boisterous trying to wear himself out I think after coming off night shift. Piccolo had 4 dips out for the hungry crew and all was scraped clean.
JCF called the circle to hear the run report from Pensioner, Raggedy Anne and Mango. Nicker and Piccolo took their down downs for the run and JCF called for jokes and charges. Bagoose charged me for reading his joke sheets and asked if I’d had remembered one. I enjoyed the reading but could remember only parts. Paw Paw and DT were asked for the nominated joke but didn’t have one either. We were all charged. Knothead told his joke which was too long and was charged along with Bagoose. Zorro charged Teflon for checking the books and getting the run numbers wrong I think. Teflon took her down down. Our new runner, Julie, took her welcome drink and then Hash Nosh was ready. A beautiful lasagne made by Piccolo’s mum with extra pasta and bread and butter. Everyone had their fill but Piccolo had made two large bowls of fruit salad for desert. We were spoilt. An enjoyable night again and thanks to Piccolo, Nicker and Brian cooking the pasta.
On on
