Mum's the word 2026

Many people have commitments other than Hash on the second Sunday of May, and we never expect huge numbers on Mothers' Day. This year saw twelve of us gather at our home ground base in John Scott Park for a gentle M. Promptu outing through the Royal Estates:

Potluck produced the usual feast, including some of the leftovers from Culture's Big Birthday Bash the night before (and it was a great night!). Gunter almost forgot his usual perfect manners when confronted with the tasty fare....

Here are a few highly atmospheric pictures, courtesy of Cash Converta:

Elsewhere in the world, Superhacker ran into a group of Brisbane hashers (including Jake the Peg) on a boat cruising the blue Danube! We look forward to seeing her later in the year.

And next week - a very flaaaat Dayboro excursion (really?).

Next run/walk details
When: Sunday 17th May, 4 pm
Where: Banger and Make an Offer's Dayboro chateau Dayboro Childcare Centre carpark, opposite the Dayboro IGA. A map!
Hares: Make an Offer and Banger

We suggest you bring chairs. And if you need directions to this run please email us.

On, on!

Another black swan event

Ducks, pelicans and black swans crowded the waterways we passed this Sunday, and some of the swans let Cash Converta and Idle Vice get very close and personal:

 

It was a smashing afternoon for a run and walk through the burbs and along river- and lake-sides, and the many dogs enjoyed themselves immensely, despite being restrained from chasing the wildlife. They also enjoyed a refreshing little historical re-enactment of the Battle of Hastings in the back yard after we got back.

It was good to see Streaky again for the first time in a while, and good to meet Close Encounters of the Turd Kind, visiting from Washington DC. His home kennel is the Every Day is Wednesday Hash, and they run on Thursdays (of course).

Back home at the hares' we enjoyed some great pasta and salad, followed by ice-cream! Many thanks to Budgie and Miss Behavin'! Since this was our May Day run, we also raised our voices (and our fists) to the stirring strains of The Red Flag! This song is now 137 years old - happy birthday to it. And happy birthday to anyone else celebrating this week!
