34 of us gathered at Miss Demeanour and Shockjock's on a warmish day and washed off the sweat from a very pleasant run/walk in their brand-new pool. And of the 34 - as befits a family Hash - 5 were boomers over 70, 5 were whatever-they-ares under 12, and the rest were every type of Gen in between!
We have to assure those who chose not to follow it that the trail was really well-marked, with surprisingly few ups and downs after the first little bit. The runners added a couple of loops, one of which included an interesting visit to the Old Bunya School site. (Apparently the school opened in 1875 with an enrolment of 58 boys and 26 girls, but the average attendance was 21 boys and 9 girls. Hmmm.)
After cooling off, we enjoyed a wonderful spread including a range of salads, pasta and two types of chicken! Yum...and many, many thanks to our hares.
Hash jeweler Jamesbondage had been hard at work, and Snappy was presented with her name necklace. She lived up to her name once again, and here are some of her poolside shots:
Who remembers the days when Nipliquor used to come hashing in his stroller? Here he is with his siblings on Fathers' Day 2010:
And here he is now, towering over his mum:
Le W*nk was apparently disappointed at not being able to christen the new pool in person. However he provided a specimen, and Payback did the honours....
Finally, Snappy has requested that we wear our name necklaces so she can get to know our hash names. It's a great idea - we've got into the habit of only wearing them when associating with other Hashes at Interhash, or on the Red Dress Run, but wearing them regularly would be beneficial for visitors and newcomers alike. Let's try and remember, eh?
