Hi Hashers
We all rocked up at Flap’s abode with the expectation of a great feed to come, and he didn’t disappoint. After all, he is the current holder of the best Hash Nash Award.
But back to the beginning, at 6:00ish The Hare called the pack to attention, and gave the relevant directions of the trail to follow. Set in flour on the left unless it is on the right, some mention of weevils x 2, maybe on backs or false trails, but he couldn’t remember! On On over the fence, past Robin in the back yard and away you go down the road he instructed. Off they went and staggered back in dribs and drabs, not long after they had left, Hot Rocks wandered back in complaining of a sore knee, oh I know that feeling. Some just did the hill, and that was enough. Until we thought everyone had returned, and started scoffing into the homemade sausage rolls and mini meat and potato balls.
Circle was called by the Monk JCF, and the round of jokes and charges followed. The three Amigos were charged for being joined at the hip, yes Knicker Licker, Drip Tray and Piccolo Pirata, you are to be separated for next weeks’ circle. Daffodil was called forward for reaching a staggering; I believe 1300 runs and received a lovely shopping trolley to wheel around the supermarket, and Knicker Licker an engraved Mug for 300 runs. Congratulations to you both, and on the subject of Congrats a toast was raised to Zorro, now Poppy Cowboy with the birth of his first Grandchild. At this point there was a whisper we were missing someone, rather obvious as it was our Choir Master! The circle continued with a reminder about the Christmas party this Friday at North Mackay Saints Ground, Cutler Drive, Beaconsfield, which will also be TGIF drinks. Executive Lunch the Golden Gecko, Sydney Street, Mackay. More jokes and charges that I can’t remember, Hash sung song, circle closed. Our thoughts are with Cummalott and her Mum at this time, well wishes coming your way.
Back to our missing Hasher, who was the sweeper? Do we even have a sweeper? Are you sure she was here at the start? Did anyone walk with her on the trail? The first search party sent forth, could find no trace. Where was Lassie, her car is here! A new search party was sent out, this time of hashers who had actually done the run, and success at last. There she was meandering aimlessly down the street, following the trail from last week’s run. This is what happens when you have runs in the same area, with no rain. Hhhmmm I will work on a solution to this problem for next weeks’ run from Jaycee Park, Corner Fernleigh Avenue and Bedford Road, Andergrove.
With all the commotion over, we settled into a fabulous feed of Thai Chicken Curry and Fish
Stew with plenty of rice, very nice indeed. Copious amounts of alcohol later, we all pissed
off home to go to bed.
Have you been naughty or nice? It will have no effect on the Secret Santa present you will
receive on Friday, so come along and help celebrate the Mackay Hash House Harriers
Christmas Party.
