Welcome back, Superhacker!

Superhacker is back after a couple of years...and she remarked that nothing seemed to have changed over that time. What a lot of boring fuddy-duddies we are! We're looking forward to one of her jacaranda trails next week.

Sunday was the hottest day of the season so far, and as the hare said, the trail went up and down a bit. In particular, it seemed to go up - and it went up a lot in the final hundred metres. There was a bit of concern about the last couple of walkers, and some relief when they appeared. It turns out that they had spent time in the woods on the way trying to identify bird calls with a somewhat unhelpful phone app. 

The circle featured a down, down for the hare (obviously) and another for Floater for missing an prominent chalk arrow (although there were three others with her who missed it too) and another for Le W*nk for being generally annoying.

Looking ahead...our original hosts for this year's Hash Christmas party have piked out (boo to them) but Make an Offer and Banger have very kindly offered to fill the breach. So here are the details to enter in your diaries: 

Hash Christmas party date: Saturday, December 7th, from 5 pm. 

Location: Banger and Make an Offer's Dayboro mansion. 

Theme: We're revisiting the Christmas Song theme we enjoyed some years ago - come prepared to perform or present a Christmas song, and dress appropriately. 

Also coming up - on the last weekend of this month some Hash Femmes are heading up the Sunshine Coast for one of their serious and sober Girls' Weekends. The "spares" are planning to cheer themselves up with a pub crawl. And there'll be a potluck John Scott Park run for those who are capable of it.

And yet more - this year's Red Dress run is on Monday 2nd December at the Ship Inn. Enter this in your diary as well! Here's a copy of the flyer:


Here are some pictures from Sunday, courtesy of Cash Converta and Saucy Sous - thanks to them!

Back at the hares' place:








Finally - Kermit is heading off back to the Solomons for a while to work on a malaria project. Bon voyage to her!

Next run/walk details
When: Sunday 13th October, 4 pm
Where: UQ playground, St Lucia. A map!
Hares: Superhacker will set the trail. Potluck will cater (please bring something to share) 

And you will need to bring chairs. 

On, on!
