What could be more horrible than this?
Once again a motley collection of mad monks, moggies, witches, wizards and other weirdos took to the streets for our annual Halloween run/walk this last Sunday. Here are some of them gathering in the Ferny Grove Sports Club car park:
And here is one of the traditional group shots, with Floater and Upstanding looking the most horrifying of the lot:
Our hare Floater had set a fairly lengthy trail around the back blocks of Upper Kedron, and given our 5 pm start, it was well dark by the time the last of the walkers got back. Who knows how many innocent people were terrified as they caught a glimpse of them looming out of the gloom?
Here are a few shots of the walk, courtesy of Snappy. One of them should provide a bit of nostalgia for Superhacker....
Once back at the Sports Club, a number of us took full advantage of their special on Balter XPA before and while enjoying the range of Asian fare on offer:
As well as Halloween, we were celebrating hare Floater's birthday, firstly with a giant cake:
and then with a traditional birthday down, down:
The choice of first prize for costume was a no-brainer (cue: insert zombi joke here). Wonder how long it took him to wash it off? A horny Culture was the runner-up:
Thanks to our hare for the trail and organizing the table!
Now for a date-claimer. The Brisbane Red Dress Run will take place on Monday 28th November, from the Brunswick Hotel in New Farm. We generally have a substantial Samford contingent fronting up, and we always have a good time. It's a very pleasant way of raising a bit of dosh for the Salvos. Here's the flyer - and if you look carefully, you might recognise a few faces in the photo from last year's run....
Next run/walk details
When: Sunday 6th November, 5 pm
Where: Parksedge Street, Upper Kedron. A map!
Hare: Leave Pass
On, on!
