A group of usual suspects made the long and winding journey out to Shoal Point for Raggedy Ann’s run (aided and abetted by Golly).
On arrival we were greeted with a fancy new house front – well man shed front really, Golly has been splashing out his cash from his meagre (so he says!) pension pot on a large concrete area and fancy overhead shade, very flash indeed.
Without further ado, the pack, already tightly coiled springs burst into inertia and soon scattered to fuck knows where in the Shoal Point area. I’m sure Golly set a run but whether it was followed is another question…………….
All I can tell you is that it was well marked and was uphill on sand followed by a downhill section on sand. Golly did manage to put on scenery that was worthy of comment. There was the sunset view from the beach just disappearing and when you looked round the large moon was pretty spectacular, ahh old McFanny is getting sentimental. However, as this was an alternate route from the main run so you may not have seen this but if you were a short cutting bastard then you would have so tough if ya missed it!
When everyone did meander back, Raggedy Ann was at the ready with very hot mini pies. Then an ensued lot of the usual banter and crap following this, the circle was formed. 2 young virgin runners aka grandkids of Raggedy and Golly (funny they are quite tall) who are now old enough to listen to old men tell rude jokes and swear a lot were given a welcome down down. Brian, an old timer brought by Hooker has been a hasher in the past was guilty of many misdemeanours, hat and sunglasses in the circle as well as taking calls, plenty of down downs for him. Rats Arse showed up and joined in as a returning runner.
There were so many awful jokes that many of the hashers were heard to say, “Is Knothead here?” and then as usual it disintegrated into the usual schmozzle that is Mackay Hash. Club song was sang with the usual gusto and then we got eat a bbq delight cooked by Golly which consisted of eggs made fancy with capsicum rings around them, steak, sausages and salad.
Hooker won the wine for the raffle which a few promptly opened and drank – you can always rely on a hasher for this. Delicious won the whisky so drinks are on her.
All then buggered off home when the beer had dwindled to nearly nothing.
