RUN #2078, 27 February 2022

Hare: Exit – Glider Memorial Run - Location: Axedale Tavern

16 Hashers from Ballarat boarded the bus to travel to Axedale for the Glider Memorial Run. We met with other Ballarat Hashers, who made their own way there, along with Hashers from several other groups, I think there were Hashers from Doncaster & Eltham, Western Suburbs, Melbourne Ladies and Mornington Peninsula. By my count there were about 40 Hashers in attendance. After a minutes silence to remember Glider, we took off on a 5km run around Axedale and several of the guys ran shirtless, in homage to Glider. We then finished up with a well-stocked DS down along the Campaspe River before returning to the pub.

Hash Circle began with a charge for all the GM’s in attendance and a toast to Glider. Mountie was then called to screw Exit with Half a Bar holding her Moot. Mountie began with a joke that went something like this. Bent nose was on a plane next to a hot blond. Trying to impress, he asks to chat about nuclear power. She asks if a deer, a cow and a horse all eat grass, why do they shit differently? Bent has no answer. So, she responds “how are you going to talk about nuclear power when you don’t know shit”  . Mountie then awarded the following scores: Venue -50 (took too long to get here), Terrain 10+10+10 (1 hill,, 1 river, some bush), Marking 10 (inconsistent marking), Drink Stop 10 (Hung over Mountie could only manage to drink a can of solo), Groovy Factor 50 (Mountie and Snag’s wedding anniversary). Total Score: 50. Shitty Trail  .

Spencer Hocking, as stand in Sergeant, then charged Campaspe (who was named at the last run here) and himself, Half a Bar and Head Hunter, as they all wore the palindromic memorial shirts from our last visit to Axedale.  She’s the Meanest  .

Spence then charged Gilf for spending the majority of the trail on the phone.  No No No  . Spence also charged Half a Bar and Boner and tried to get them to do a shirt swap but it did not happen.  What a Wank  .

Dazzling from Melb Ladies Hash charged her fellow hash tarts for failing to listen and leading her astray. There was also call for those not wearing Hash gear to drink from their shoe but again, this did not happen.  She’s a Harriette  .

Doona then charged Precious as there are not supposed to be any real athletes in Hash. Precious and Mountie were then also charged for exposing themselves on trail when nature called.  You’re Ugly  . Shingles and Bumblebee were then charged for missing the DS because they were chatting to locals along trail, giving them a history of hash.  Soldier Song  .

Fluid Movement then charged Exit for driving between the DS and the pub. There was then a charge for Glider, but because he’s not here, Precious, you’ll do. There was then a call for anyone to say a few words about Glider. Shingles shared that he would give Exit a slide show full of wonderful memories. We were also told of the time that Exit and Glider visited Abu Dhabi. Evidently, Glider drove off and left Exit, having to go back and collect her later. Glider was also remembered for his London Marathon with Kermit. After 2 years of training which were often followed by BBQ dinners, he found out that Glider didn’t like the way he cooked steak. They also got a flight to London on Valentines Day so they held hands during the flight. Dazzler also shared that the Melbourne Ladies adored Glider as he often ran bare chested in lycra shorts. Loose Lips remembered a time when his shorts were ripped off to reveal a red satin g string. A Prayer for Glider was then read out.  Here’s to Glider  .

Fascinator then charged Mountie because he wanted to see if she could drink (she was hung over). He also recounted a story that Mountie told us on the bus about going into a country pub and noticing that no-one was wearing masks. She asked the barman why he wasn’t wearing a mask and he said that he was exempt because he had tongue cancer. Her response was “Gee, you’re lucky” .

Landing Strip then made an announcement that the Balls Up has been rescheduled for the 22 October at the Mulgrave Club with an Octoberfest theme. A 3-course meal and drinks on arrival will be provided. Tight Arse then asked if there was any interest in a weekend away in Maldon just after Easter. He needed at least 30 people to be interested for this to go ahead.  This is your Down Down Song  .

We then moved on to our pub lunch which was followed by a visit to Exits place where there was great country hospitality. More drinking, a game of quoits, yummy cakes, video’s of Glider and some went for a swim in the pool.

Dim Wit’s joke of the day, what is the Russian word for bed pan?....Poo Tin
