Terra incognita in Mitchie!

Le W*nk had been forced to set the trail for a second time after overnight rain washed away our hares' first attempt. And we really needed his pink trail markings, because our route lay through some really unknown bits of Mitchelton (unknown to us at least) - along some interesting little alleyways and through some twisty little diversions and turns. Some tricky arrow placements had the front runners doing a lot of on-backs, even though the markings were obvious once they'd been pointed out....It was good to have Prattle and friend joining the runners this week!

Here are some walkers in front of a sign commemorating local hero John Eales:

Back at the hares' there was some helpful(?) discussion on how to renovate a flooded garden - before we tucked in to a range of tucker which accommodated all our various intolerances and preferences. Many thanks to our hares! (And, as usual, to our beermeisters and winos!)


TT 2020 shirts have finally arrived for those who were registered for Interhash 2020. A couple were being worn on Sunday, and very pretty they were - but we didn't get a picture. We might schedule a group photo of the contingent that Covid defeated when we are all together sometime. Le W*nk, in the meantime, has the task of distributing shirts and bags across all of Queensland and NSW - good on him for volunteering!

Coming up:

1. Our Halloween meet is scheduled for the 30th October (hares: Floater and Scratchit). We traditionally move to our Summer start time for this run - so please note that on the 30th October we will meet in all our Halloween finery at 5 pm!

2. The SPADEwerx production "Three Tales and a Dog" (featuring Hash canine Gunter and his mum and dad, as well as a couple of other hashers and hangers-on) is scheduled for 28th October in Dayboro and the 4th, 5th and 6th of November in Samford. Tickets can be bought over the phone from Samford Design and Print - 3289 5241. Here is a flyer for your reference:

3. The date for our 2022 Hash Christmas party was discussed in the circle on Sunday. The general preference seemed to be for Saturday 17th December, although Saturday 10th might also be a possibility. The "Christmas on Main Street" event, in which some of us are involved, is scheduled for Saturday 3rd December. We'll discuss the date further on Sunday, and if you have any strong preferences please make sure they are heard. We've had one offer of a venue, but again, this is up for further discussion and offers.

Finally - Jamesbondage and Redbreast are on the road again. They've sent this picture of themselves at the start of their Hash walk on Sunday. As they've said, it was quite long (1600 km) but there were no hills....

Next run/walk details

When: Sunday 16th October, 4 pm

Where: Miss Behavin' and Budgie's Murrumba Downs manorhouse
