The Tinkerbell Effect

As we know from Peter Pan, "Every time you say you don't believe in fairies, a fairy dies." None of us saw a fairy in the Kumbartcho fairy garden on Sunday, so let's hope they're not extinct. And shame on all those who say they don't believe in fairies!

The "Tinkerbell Effect" is about things that only exist because people believe in them (like the value of Bitcoin). There's no need to invoke it to explain why we like Shockjock's beer. We're remarkably fortunate to have a top brewer in the Hash, and even non-beer drinkers applauded the Farmhouse Ale he brought along on Sunday. Perhaps its 6% alcohol content had something to do with this. And given enough of it, anyone might start seeing fairies....

Payback had set a trail that took both runners and walkers along the South Pine riverside, past some very popular swimming holes, over a couple of bridges, and through Kumbartcho Sanctuary. It was a very pleasant and relaxed trail. Rice, savoury mince, salad and a vege option followed. Many thanks to Payback and Footsie for the trail and tasty meal!











Next weekend a large contingent will be heading off to the Sunshine Coast for a Hash camping weekend - should be fun! Since both Beermeisters and Winos will be going away, the Stayathomes will have a BYO Drinks and Eats event (shades of what we had to do during Covid!)

Next run/walk details

When: Sunday 26th February, 5 pm

Where: For the campers - in the Lake Cootharaba area. For the Stayathomes - John Scott Park, Samford Village

Hares: M. Promptu. For the Stayathomes, please BYO drinks and eats (you may share if you like)

On, on!
