16/11/15 Donuts State Forest & BBQ

A run that lived up to the high standards set by this Hare.
We were a bit concerned at the start when Dr Death seemed to be about to complete the run whilst ensconced in his picnic chair. Too many Hashers - the "rooted crew" are susceptible to this  approach so it was necessary to stamp out such sedentary behaviour.
The run, walk and drink stop lived up to expectation and we travelled back to Ross Creek Upper
 for classic rock DVDs, an excellent BBQ and a bonfire.
Silic was mentioned in the same breath as Ronda Rousey.
Pebbles produced his version of "Fanfare for the Common Man" to acknowledge Normal's addition to the 1000 club honor board. Normal drank with his fellow luminaries.
Pussbucket revived the " they blow up so quickly these days" one as it was topical.
Plucka's ascension to the majesty of GMship was recognised.
Spencer Hocking's journey to Kobe for their 2000th run with advertising of Nash Hash was aknowledged by himself.
Next run Candida's at the oval city oval.
There may be bumping,crashing, ramming pranging and pile ups. Prepare for a totally smashing event.
On after at the nearby pub.

9/11/15 Fluid Movement's Bush Run

An excellent bush run on the edge of town. notable also perhaps as one of our last GST free events.
Rowdy had taken on the Hash Trailer - probably for the forseeable future as he seems to take on temporary jobs that persist.
BP was encouraged to look for a more secure sanctuary for the Hash Cash as her address is now in an area that is prone to petty crimes like burgalry.
Lois was equipped with aussie regalia to encourage the full appreciation of sports triumphs at the expense of the kiwis. She had correctly pointed out a rabbit -proof fence of excessive height.
Half a Bar said that he hadn't noticed the earthquake at Elaine, whereas Bar Liquor did feel the earth move.
A great BBQ spread and fine weather.
Next Week at Donuts. Start at the State Forest. Sounds as specific as "somewhere in the bush."

2/11 Spartacus The Park.

Proving that Hash hold no grudges, Spartacus was allowed to set another run, This policy is now under review.
The run pack was lost after 100 metres. They cast about, finding improbable portions of trail, were misdirected to the drink stop before stumbling back to the pub in fading light. Beer Fuck did at least spy some walkers and made the inspired decision to join them. He alone of the run" pack" located the drink stop. Stand in Screw, Fop gave the Hare due recognition.
The walk was not without event, with Silic narrowly avoiding serious harm by breaking a fall with his face.
It is advisable when trravelling overseas to make sure your companion is not likely to abandon you at the first mishap. It is good to hear that Normal,Dumb and Dumber and Donuts still enjoyed their holidays despite leaving fellow travellers hospitalised.
Rear Entry and Pebbles were recognised as new age men, having spent Saturday afternoon with an otherwise female audience at "The Dressmaker". Rear Entry is looking forward to Fashions in the Field at the Cup.

Next week's run will be in the bush.

26/10/15 Plucca's Halloween Run Bunninyong

We should not have been surprised at the mysterious events of this evening.

1. Despite all the recent balmy weather, a cold chill greeted us at the Bunningyong Gardens
2. The run markings had been obliterated by a downpour that showed on no radar.
3. Then, at that witching hour just as the sun set (and the BBQ food was ready),  the garden sprinklers having obviously taking offence at Half a Bar's adjectives, inundated us.

Surely enough evidence of the occult at work. There was no sign of a human hand at work. At least a proportion of Hash is certain that no human factor could influence the weather.
Rowdy was welcomed back from Kakoda.
 The Bill was urged to use his influence to round up the Stocco fugitives.  The subsequent rash of arrests of the nation's miscreants are testament to his influence.
Alliterative charges included; Bloodcurdling Bent,Frightening Fluid,the Hobgoblin Half a Bar,Macabre Mrs. D, the Poltergeist Plucka, Repulsive Rear Entry and of course the Spectre Silic.


Next Week The Park Hotel, Alfredton

19/10/15 Mrs Dickhead's Lake Esmond Run

The spectacular backdrop of the reeds of Lake Esmond ablaze was the setting for this week's On After. The fire could be viewed as the local brigade reducing rampant undergrowth or as Bait pointed out, the destruction of Reed Warbler's nesting sites.
The run took us a long way to the east- even as far as Scentbark Lane - as noted by the Fill-In Screw.
Five of the runners did locate a sensible shortcut through someones backyard.
We welcomed back The Bill from his sabbatical, some Jason's and met Dr Death, who seemed to have seen better days.
Shafted approved of the venue as it was an old quarry.
The latest setback to the bikers in South America is Drambuie's capitulation to altitude sickness.
D&C was commended for watching while Pebbles run his sixth marathon this year.
Flo Jo and Jack were charged with mistaken identity.
 Spartacus was charged with being seen at a lot of pubs on the weekend.

Lois is looking for assistance on Sunday with organizing Nash Hash.
Next run is Buninyong Gardens with a Halloween theme.

12/10/15 5 Ways Stand - In Hare Pusbucket Drinks SS

The stand - ins, as usual at Hash, made the transition seamlessly. The pus colored run took us around the water races in the area. Fluid Movement channelled Mountie by throwing herself onto the dirt. Shafted applied the necessary first aid in between investigating the recent adornments to the landscape.
The Natalie show on Sunday was reviewed. SOS got to display his tallent for electrical engineering and Bent displayed superhuman strength in wrenching the lid from a water bottle.Fluid found her way home eventually.
Lois was reminded not to donate her handbag when helping the kids to shift. Nummy was warned that sending D&D with Drambuie amongst a drug cartel and Donuts, with his habit of dropping his bike, may have be a bit overconfident.
Half a Bar showed concern for the dog that bit Mrs D. Fortunately she can scull left handed.Plucka was commended for rising from her sick bed to administer drinks.
The pending Balls Up - on Oct 24th at Kew Golf club $75 was promoted. See Lois if you are interested in attending.
Next Week's run Mrs D's from Lake Esmond featuring whole foods.

5/10/15 Rowdy's Daylight Savings Run Nuggety Dam

Stand -in Screw Jack noted the balmy weather, broad vistas,options for short cutters and the varied drinks at the stop. We even found something Prescious on the run. Runners and walkers, with the exception of Mrs D coincided a at the eskis.Rowdy may find his next run on the Kokoda Track a mite more challenging.

No fire due to a ban but that may have been for the best, based on past history at the venue.

Bait took the "How the mighty" have fallen charge as our adventurer of earlier days found himself stranded on a couch during the footy final. He did find a hoard of knives concealed among the outdoor furniture.
Beer Fuck was recognised for his paddling prowess. He also was inspired to present his ROY-G- BIV rainbow charge.
Returning Sergeant was at his pedantic best, noting spelling discrepancies among his charges.

Hash Drinks were available with the BBQ and all except Plucka were impressed  by Shafted's steak carving in the dark.

A task for next weeks run setter Glider as he uses similar terrain from 5 Ways. On after at The Eureka.
