The dish ran away with the spoon

There was consternation at the start of this week's meet when we found that Le W*nk and Lax were missing. Who cares? you might say (in his case, anyway) - BUT they'd gone AWOL with the Hash cutlery and crockery! Could we possibly eat the Potluck banquet with our bare hands? Luckily Culture came up with an alternative, and Jamesbondage and Big Donk helped enact it.

And what a banquet it was - varied, tasty and nutritious! Thanks to all for their contributions!

We were at our home ground of John Scott Park and hashers took on a couple of our usual routes. The new Samford Park Run is now using a part of these, and Shockjock, who'd tried out the inaugural run, reported a crowd of 700 people...which must have been a bit of a squeeze here and there.

Here are some pics, courtesy of Saucy Sous and Cash Converta.

A couple of our O/S travelers returned. Here are a few shots from Haughty and Culture, taken on the odd days when it didn't rain on them in the UK:
