The Sovereign Hash went through the motions of the penultimate run of the current Committee. Mummy dearest had to set the run, we did get our Sergeant back, still no scribe, and no sunshine. It would have been difficult to top the previous weeks’ run, and so it was proved. The highlight was the passage of a train, splitting the pack with flashing lights and clanging bells, electric whistles accompanied by four of Bobby Peel’s finest interrogating a pedestrian opposite the Reptile Gulch workshop.
Drink stop set outside the back of the Town Hall, with cans accompanied by the chiming carillon as well as chips and lollies.
Once back at the bandstand, the GM welcomed new runner Jacqui, introduced by Sparrow Fart. Boner was also given a welcome back, even though he was absent. Mountie began her screw with a quote from Proverbs 15:22 (“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed"), but not in this case. Mrs D led the runners valiantly from the rear, while her second son got the walkers horribly lost both due to lack of counsel, and lack of ability to follow basic instructions. Shiggy Trail
Sergeant NBCL took a while to warm up, and once he did, had a run of Easter religious and footy related quips. D & D was asked what his spirit animal might be – “extinct” was the reply. Nummy’s father confessed towards the end of his days that he used to love to eat a bilby. She blames his dementia.
Mountie played golf during the week, had a gentleman collapse prostrate ahead of her. She calmy stepped around him and played through. Shafted demonstrated his knowledge of the inside of a massage parlour, and Pink Bits cracked the reason why Jesus is so popular.
.. because he was hung like this
It was about now that Normal pointed out that both he and Criss Cross had been away for some time, and should be welcomed back. After some discussions regarding Country Members they both got a down down.
Most proceeded to a convivial dinner at Eureka.
Next week will be a triple whammy; BLACK TIE NIGHT, AWARDS NIGHT and AGM at the Royal Oak Hotel, Raglan and South streets.
