It's amazing, really...

After almost 21 years, some of our hares are still able to open our eyes and surprise us with new (unhashed) trails around the Samford area! That's what Jamesbondage and Redbreast did this last Sunday, opening up new country through Bunya/Cashmere and along the North Pine. A great run/walk (in freezing conditions!) - many thanks. Many thanks too for a superb 3 course meal at the on, on. Even Fleabite was heard to say "That was very nice...."

Other news is that for the next few months the regular midweek run will be moving to a Tuesday night rather than a Wednesday. This Tuesday saw 9 of us meeting at John Scott Park for half an hour of gentle exercise, followed by some temperance beverages, scuttlebut and badinage at the public bar. By now Darcy is probably feeling the effects of guzzling some of the spent cooking oil used for starting the woodfire in the bar...hope he made it home without incident....

And Payback scooped the homebrew awards at the Samford Show, picking up a first for one of his pale ales along with a couple of other prizes. To prove that the competition is not biased in favour of members of Samford Hash, Haughty came nowhere with his stout (word is that it was "watery, a typical kit beer...." Ouch!)

A Bastille Day run this coming Sunday. Take some French leave and come dressed as a French maid, or a French letter...and be prepared to run away.

Next run details
When: Sunday 17th July, 4 pm
Where: Newmarket RSL Hall, corner Enoggera Road and Ashgrove Avenue, Newmarket. A map....
