RUN #2054, 27 SEPTEMBER 2021

COVID RUN #43 - ZOOM HASH CIRCLE #46

We were released from lockdown and our RA provided lovely weather for Hashers to emerge and complete the post AFL Grand Final Recovery Run set by Spence from Yuille Station Park, Sebastopol. The trail circled the covid testing site at Marty Busch Reserve, took us up and down the BMX track and finished up along the Yarrowee River. There was excellent attendance over the afternoon and hash names were signed on a blue tarp.

18 Hashers then gathered online for the zoom hash circle Monday night. Without Mountie, there was a group shagging of Spence’s run. Discussion was a bit all over the place but I think the following scores were given (happy to be corrected if needed), Venue 20, Terrain 20, Marking 25 (+5 for the bill following trail backwards), Drink Stop 20, Groovy Factor 20 (except for the covid testing area), giving a total of 105 out of 100.  It’s a Grand Old Flag 

Spencer Hocking, as acting Sergeant, began by getting an update from our out of towners. Fang, who was holidaying in Echuca, and Exit from Bendigo both reported that the weather was lovely there too. So that we didn’t continue with further discussion of the weather, we then moved on to the Sniffy runs from Nutcracker (200) Pebbles (600) and the Bill (1700). This combined added up to 2500 runs which is 50 squared….  It’s a Grand Old Flag 

Moving on to charges from before the run, there was something about Pimp or Silic eating a donut (???) and also charges for those who did not know where to find Yuille Station Park, this included D&C and Mountie, but Mountie should have known this location, given the number of Harriers trails that have started there.

Charges from the run went to Head Hunter and Plucka, who are both returning following post-surgery recoveries. On a side note, their total number of runs add up to 345 (thanks Spence). Bent Nose charged Spence for no apples at the drink stop and Mrs D charged Lois Lane, Pauline, Campaspe and Dim Wit for making her feel left out as they all had an accompanying dog on trail.

Nutcracker then charged Mountie for her faux pas comment to Campaspe regarding the recent loss of one of her dogs. Mrs D charged and thanked Bent Nose for wearing shorts instead of lycra, like Chris Cross, and Fang charged SS by wondering if he saw a moth fly out of his Melbourne scarf. This was followed by discussion of how many premierships SS and Dumb had attended. SS attended the 1948 game at age 7 and all other premierships up to 1964. Dumb listed to the 1954 game on the radio (there was no TV then) but has seen all the other games.  It’s a Grand Old Flag  Bent then pointed out that Pauline (another Melbourne supporter) had been forgotten from this discussion and Bent and Pauline were then charged.  No No No 

Head Hunter’s upcoming birthday was mentioned and as we were running out of time we moved on to next weeks run. Since it is daylight savings, Rowdy will set the run from the normal spot at 5-ways. Details TBA by Friday, depending upon weather and covid restrictions. This may be a Monday night run, so this may be the last zoom hash circle. Final comments were, if you’re not vaccinated, don’t turn up, HHH will have compulsory vaccination to protect us all!

Next Week’s Run – Monday 4 October 2021, Daylight Savings Run, Hare: Rowdy – Location: 5-ways off White Swan Rd, Glen Park (intersection of White Swan Rd, Glen Park Rd and Codes Forrest Rd.
