29/2/16 Facinator's Mt Bolton run

We all arrived wondering how Fascinstor would include the auspicious date as a theme of his run. After all, hash will not be held on Feb 29th  again until the middle of the century and a few of us are concerned that we may be unaware of hash by then.
Fascinator ignored the whole event.
 His fire break did prove effective.
 Sorry Drambuie.
 We found our own way to the side of Mt Beckworth and followed a trail until it soon disappeared. Hashers were observed scattered about the mount, presuming that up was the best option. The Hare could occasionaly be heard calling" On Back" from wherever he happened to be at the time. The pack eventually found his drink stop which did allow for photo virtual district tour opportunities.
 Teflon is now much the wiser and I think he thanked the GM.
 Shafted told us that we were all standing on rocks.
We then slipped our way back to the foot of the mount.
It was pointed out that, had this been his birthday, he would be just out of teenagerhood.
Bait's fooy team was lauded for coming such a close second to the Maggies.
Rear Entry enjoyed the view of the wind turbines on behalf of Tony.
A winged Sergeant called on wife Lynne for several (small) drinks.
The Bill was recognised for continued consistent attendance at hash. We are on to those like Excess Baggage and Stinton who attend irregularly just to get a free drink.
 Recently, there have been too many making excuses about travel difficulties as a way of avoiding charges relating to uncomfortable truths.
A BBQ on a balmy evening followed.
Next week at St George's Lake.

The GM, BHD,Shafted, GILF, Teflon, Spencer Hocking, MrsD and Rowdy, along with Laurie, Fluid Movement and Shagger attended Western Suburbs AGM on Tuesday.
The run took us under the Westgate, beside a toxic creek and around a giant brothel before we got to the less salubrious areas of the west.
 Food arrived early, which provoked the predictable bunfight.
None of us won a prize in the raffle, which was disappointing as 63 other people got something.
We do come home with wind up torches.
 Our AGM, on April 11th, at The Freight Bar, will bear no similarity.
Fluid made a late bid for an award by complaing about the cost of her accommodation. That  Awards Night which is on March 21st at the Grapes, Grant St.






 

22/2 The Black Hill Big Bash Pusbucket and Mountie

An auspicious date for cricket. Many irregular Hashers attending  made batting a perilous exercise. That and the  massive off -breaks of Boot being matched by the classic catching of Half-a-Bar. GILF brought techniqes from some other sport to the game. 
The run began with rain threatening, Pusbucket and Spartacus were referring to their Duckworth-Lewises, but, as is so often the case at hash, clear skies prevailed.
 The class of SOS and Little Evil prevailed.
The original blackface Spences were remembered. Normal was reminded to look before driving his bus under a bridge. We do understand that there is a fickle judgement involved where vehicle height is concerned.
Merkin and The Bill were observed racing. Merkin had youth and the fact that he had only done the last 100 metres of the run on his side.
Next week at Mt Beckworth if it is not incinerated.
Next Tuesday. a bus from Reptile Gulch for  Western Suburbs. Be there by 5:45 with at least $28.

15/2/16 Bait's Little Hard Hills run

The Screw thought that Bait had done his best to make it hard for us.
 We dodged trail bikes, The Bill went down, Plucka was gashed but the march flies generally stayed away.
Sharon,the publican, finished one story about tawny survival with "Because they always look for the black box first"."
Mr D refrenced Einstein and gravitational waves via Silic and Shafted.
Bait and Half a Bar stood in for Garry and Billy- another current cultural reference.
D& C took one for those showing insufficient reverence.
Normal cooked the meat and Shafted tried to recruit Fred to hash.

Form a duo for next week's test at Black Hill oval.

Bus to the Spottiswoode Pub on 1/3 leaving from Reptile Gulch Motors at 5:45.

8/2/16 Pauline and Lois Sorrento Dve

A freshly minted On On complete with unconnected power lines for the unwary.Nash Hash T-shirts were being snapped up at $10.
The run took un some unavoidable long stretches around Alfredton.Plenty of action at the stockyards.
We welcomed back Mountie and Pus Bucket, Zika free, from Central America and Pall Bearer from Mount Clear.
SS was consoled on the loss of his tackle, and rods and the other stuff they got. The GM was encouraged to be punctual.
Bait explained the theft of his fish by a seal. He also explained hw to get to the Little Hard Hills pub for next week's run.
Last chance to book in for the Western Suburbs AGM on Tuesday March 1st.

1/2/16 Shafted at Coalmine Rd Lal Lal

Visiting Hashers, a christening and red wine! Quite a run. It even lured The Bill off the tarmac.
Due to some lack of a key to the shed, Half a Bar's breaking and entering skills paid off.
Trail had been set with the assistance of Matt(not Ben) and took us to previously unknown regions of Lal Lal.
Matt wore the Merkin top of the Lady Hashers for a bet and won himself the obvious Hash name. Rowdy conducted Merkin's induction.
 Good to have the real Hash Cash, Sergeant and Screw.
Pebbles, our serial marathoner has been upstaged by some runners competing in all continenents in a week. Merkin in a new shirt was pictured beside our formal visitor Tight Arse.
Plucka has put out a request for 7oz glasses as there has been some collateral damage.
Lester, Scrubber and Tight arse were ther to invite a visit to their AGM in Spotswood in Tuesday March 1st.
The GM will organise a car or bus depending on numbers. $10 deposit next week if you wish to go.
Next week at 53 Sorrento Dve Alfredton -Lois and Paulines

25/1/16 Australia Day Run Leagues Club The Bill

This run saw the return of the GM to the scene of the dismissal. Last time we darkened those doors- well it was suggested that we take Hash elsewhere. SoS and Half a Bar - and his mate Ben- were there so what could go wrong?
The Bill's run took us around Black Hill and the wiser Hashers ignored the more unlikely on-backs.
The charges were conducted in the same Sports Bar where SOS and Half a Bar exceeded the allowable number of expletives last time.
Mrs D stood in as Sergeant and the Choirmaster made sure we kept a lid on things.
Bait was congratulated on attaining 69.
 Remote told the Shih tzu joke.
Mrs D, Prescious, Lois, Gilf and Teflon got the Australia Day drinks.
We seemed to get away without offending any patrons this time.
Next week at 219 Coalmine Rd
