Seeing red 2018

As always, events are thronging thick and fast as the year races towards its end. On Sunday we said farewell to Payback as he heads off OS...and then on Monday a bunch of Samford hashers took to the streets of West End in their natty little red numbers for the 2018 Red Dress Run. And Hash Christmas is coming up on Saturday!

Shockjock set what he laughingly referred to as a flat run/walk from Wahminda. But who would be taken in by the notion of a flat run from this location? It's true that the walkers had just one hill - but what a hill! Good thing we had the defib machine with us....

Our hares provided a tasty and filling hotpot, lighting and a convenient drinks stand. Many thanks, guys!

A farewell down, down:

Some Red Dress first timers joined a strong Samford contingent (a dozen strong) at the 2018 Red Dress Run. Patrons along the restaurant strip had something to talk about as the red-clad crowds got between them and the waiters bringing their meals. So did a group of police on Boundary Road in West End. As always, Santa led the singing at the drinks stop, and we stayed on for a meal at the Plough Inn.

Hash Christmas is on Saturday 1st December at Cedar Creek (theme: Fruit, Flowers and Nuts) and we'll follow this up with a leftover Potluck recovery run from John Scott Park.

Next run details
Sunday 2nd December, 5 pm (Recovery run following Hash Christmas on the 1st)
Where: John Scott Park, Samford Village
Hares: M. Promptu will set the run; Potluck will cater (please bring something to share)

On, on!

Another Potluck bonanza

M. Promptu took the walkers and runners on a couple of pleasant circuits from the village, and Potluck - as always - provided an extraordinarily varied feast. Thanks, everyone, for your contributions!

It's a really busy time of year. The Red Dress Run is next Monday - 26th November - from the Plough Inn. Some of our regular Red Dress runners and walkers will be missing (Payback is OS, Le W*nk is working elsewhere, and last year's winner of the Best Dressed Award - Mile High - is also going to be absent.) But we hope to have a few there carrying the Samford banner. Here's a reminder of last year's event. And here's the flyer for this year's one:

Hash Christmas follows on 1st December. Shockjock has prepared a special brew, and it should be a good night.

Next run details
When: Sunday 25th November, 5 pm
Where: Wahminda Park Tennis Courts, Samford Road. A map!
Hares: Shockjock and Miss Demeanour

On, on!
