A small and select group was joined this Sunday by a pair of veteran hashers from Malaysia who are now resident in Samford. The walkers took on a circuit along the creek that we haven't tackled for a while and a couple of runners added a loop to that. A week ago the prediction was that Cyclone Oma would make this a rather muddy route, but...[insert rude noise here.]
Big news this week is that Banger and Make an Offer became grandparents for the first time on Friday - congratulations!
A group of regular Samford Hashers is off caravanning in NSW and will be funding their retirement from now on with the gemstones they discover at Emmaville.
Next run details
When: Sunday 3rd March, 5 pm
Where: Boombana picnic ground, Mt Nebo. A map!
Hare: Escargot
On, on!

Townhouse tour
On the spur of the moment Le W*nk added a loop in the middle of the run this Sunday, and this may be why the runners arrived home a beer later than the walkers - or it may just be that they were a little slow in completing their comprehensive tour of the townhouse developments that are underway in Everton Hills and Bunya. What a lot there are!
Lax and Prattle set the walk and by all accounts did a great job. We also have to thank Lax for the salad that accompanied the snags the runners picked up en route back to Teralba Park. A first-time visiting walker joined us as well as a couple of young canines on their first Hash outing. Here's the cheery group before pitch darkness descended:
Le W*nk and Lax will be among the group attending the Samford Charity Night in a month's time. Last year he was successful in his bidding for a Parliament House dinner; this year he offered to auction off a baby as his contribution to the occasion - if he is able to secure one....Queensland Police please note - this is the man to look out for:
Down, downs were awarded to virgin hashers (including canines), to Le W*nk for the run, and to new-shoe-wearers. And, as usual, there was plenty of rubbish spoken - and a bit of bawdy. Here's some justification for it, from Boswell's Life of Johnson:

Boswell: "Why...meet at table?" Johnson: "Why, to eat and drink together, and to promote kindness; and, Sir, this is better done when there is no solid conversation; for when there is, people differ in opinion, and get into bad humour....It was for this reason, Sir Robert Walpole said, he always talked bawdy at his table, because in that all could join."Many thanks to our hares!

The bonnie banks o' Pine
The steamy weather continues, and this last Sunday was still very hot and humid. Congratulations to those who gathered despite the conditions to explore the very pretty Petrie reaches of the North Pine.
Our hares took the walkers upstream to circle a little lake that lies alongside the river, while the runners (plus a cyclist with an injured toe) went on to skirt the Petrie Old Town site before returning along the river. A selection of pastas and some brownies for dessert followed. Many thanks to our hares!
Footsie showed how sensible and mature she is:
And Make an Offer performed a little commercial for a certain supermarket brand:
Friday evening saw about 30 of us gathering to celebrate Footsie's birthday - we had a ball! Thanks to Topless for these photos....

Congratulations to Feral!
Feral set her first walk on Sunday and did a great job, though the rain did its best to spoil things. She also received a loud standing ovation for hushing Le W*nk while she was delivering her Chalk Talk - not an easy thing to achieve - well done! Here she is with Violet (and, no, there is no "n" in that name.)
The route took us through the byways and back blocks of Ferny Hills. Shockjock remarked on the run that though he'd lived in the general area for much of his life, there were sections of the route that were totally unfamiliar to him...it's always good to explore new territory. The large crowd back at the hares' did full justice to the fare on offer. Many thanks, hares!
Down, downs were awarded to Glutes (his final run on this visit to Australia - he's back to some comparatively freezing conditions in Dunedin), to Feral (first time as a hare), and to Shaggy and Miss Demeanour for some obscure incident on the walk that we probably don't need to delve into any further.
Next week's hare Banger had just spent 3 days in hospital having sliced himself open on a ceramic tile (we reckon he should sue his employer for not providing safe working conditions.) He undergoes more treatment this week, but he assures us that he should be right to set the run on Sunday.
And - an important note for next Sunday - you will need to bring your own one of these!
