Sorry, calf!

We knocked the fatted calf on the head this Sunday to welcome the Canberra branch of Samford Hash back into town. It was great to see Hot to Trot, Wizbanger, Slammit and Upfront again, and a goodly crowd* turned out to welcome them.

Charcoal and Strine (assisted by B & W) had set a typically flaaaat Clear Mountain run/walk which saw the runners and two groups of walkers all hoving into view to finish at the same time - well organised! A toothsome 3 course meal followed.

A down, down for two latecomers:

Baptism for some new shoes:

Finally - we held a naming ceremony for two no-names who have been coming (I mean attending) regularly for weeks. In future, they will be known as Mile High and Hugandkiss. Here they are:

Here's some sort of explanation for her name:



*BTW - there was a goodly crowd at the Wednesday mid-week run this last week as well - twelve runners and walkers in all! This must be a record....

"Three double pneumonias, please -

but none for Payback..." This past Wednesday was freezing and wet...way too cold and rainy for any sane person to set out for a mid-week run. But three of the idiots from Samford Hash did get themselves soaked on the trail before retiring for some temperance beverages at the public bar. Our GM was not among them (shame, shame) and this earned him a down, down at this Sunday's run. Shockjock was similarly honoured for persistent lateness....

Toss O'Coin (aka Flip) led a goodly crowd of walkers out through the Royal Estates for a circuit by way of the bowls club and the CSIRO creek crossing. The tosser for the runners set a trail which saw them wallowing in the mud and bat guano at the old Yugar rail tunnel. Pneumonia and lyssavirus, all the the one week! What fun!

As usual, Potluck provided a wonderful feast.  And Tweetie Pie and Souffle were awarded the carefully crafted necklaces (featuring their Hash names) which Jamesbondage, our Hash jeweller, had spent many long hours toiling over....

There's a big weekend coming up. Charcoal and Strine will be back from OS...and Hot to Trot, Wizbanger and the boys will be fleeing the horrors of Canberra for a few days of culture (The Samford production of The Importance of Being Earnest on Friday night), and recreation and fellowship (the Sunday run.) It will be great to see them all....

Next run details
When: Sunday 8th July, 4 pm
Where: Corner Clear Mt Rd and Buranda Rd, Clear Mountain
Hares: Charcoal and Strine

On, on!
