It was a typical Melbourne Winters Night where it was blustery with threatening clouds. What was not typical is that several things have been occurring of late that on first glance, would appear to be mutually independent events. For example, Germany have ensured the demise of Greece through their refusal to support their 25 hour working week. A couple of weeks ago in Collingwood on Prince’s Run, another German aka Jurgen or Kleine Scheiße, jeapordised the safety of other Lakesiders by disappearing within 3 minutes of commencing his first ever hash. Last Monday, the Germans robbed Australia of our right to be in the World Cup Final to face off against Liechtenstein. Last night, on returning home, Schindlers List was on the telly. But the final act that supports the conspiracy theory is that last night, a French / German named Big Bang became the 43rd Grand Mistress for Lakeside Hash House Harriers. The Fourth Reich has begun. Before long, we will be drinking German Beers, gluwein (but we did last night!), eating bratwurst and sauerkraut, singing renditions of famous drinking songs. Rise up hashers and rebel against this takeover! Quickly before all is lost! More about this later….
The pack left at a customary post 7pm for an AGM run. The run was supposed to be set by Flem but I suspect it was actually marked by It Wasn’t Me. Typical. Another man who gets his woman to do the hardwork whilst he claims the glory. That’s why I am marrying the GM. Anyway, back to the run report. The run meandered through the streets of Port Melbourne, Albert Park and ended up on the edge of Albert Park Lake, the heartland to every Lakeside Hasher. Ohhhhh how the pipers pipes are piping! At the lake there was a mandatory hash halt for all the slow back markers to catch-up. From there we continued along our merry way ending up at the Gasworks Park for the drinkstop. Did I mention that the drinkstop was a famous German Winter Beverage of Gluwein? Another coincidence? I think not. The run was well marked and not that predictable. Whilst the pack were a bit stretched out, the hash halt and drink stop pushed the pack back together. I was expecting the run to end up coming back along the beach, but that did not eventuate. A good run that went well.
The AGM was well supported by Lakeside and Western Suburbs in particular. Also in attendance were Peninsula Ladies hash and also the Melbourne Ladies Hash. Not sure if I saw any other hashes there. Lester the Molester, Doona, Stalker, Highly Infectious, Ginger Beer, and Chilli Root were notable attendees. Certainly Western Suburbs were notable, nearly everyone of their members won a raffle prize.
Mains were Chicken in Pyjamas, Bangers and Mash (What did you eat Big Bang?), and a Vegetarian Risotto. Desert, well what can I say but dessert was a WHOPPER! Everyone got a massive slice of apple crumble with icecream. 22 hours later, I am still digesting my dessert and do not expect to be hungry for another 48 hours. With a Lakeside LED Torch, a fun run, and great entertainment of a short circle, talk about a great night at only $15 and $25 for non-members.
The Lakeside yearbook was issued in a CD format.
Charges came and went.
The mandatory GMs charge and their representatives came up.
I charged GG because I could and it was fun. Basically GG had suffered a case of mistaken identity.
SOAS did some charges as Sergeant. Cooch and E&B were mentioned. As were Lots of Fun and Nickel B.
The new GM was named – Big Bang and we think that she may have the smallest hash committee in existence with just herself and Tripod as the Sergeant. Tripod asked the question as to who takes over if the GM kicks the old bucket, we said him of course.
It’s a shame that we ran out of beer for charges last night. For Kleine Scheiße decided that he did not want the pint of Fat Yak Beer that I bought him. Son, you are a German, you go to university, you are a hasher, and did I mention that you are German. You should love beer, like I said, another charge in the making.
We sang the Lakeside song and Lester did his rousing and inspirational farewell of –
“YOU’VE ALL HAD A FAIR GO……. NOW F%$# OFF!”
