Date: 7-Jan-15
Hares: Udder and Gargoyle
Venue: Ferdinando Gardens Hampton
You know how Udder is a boring accountant. Well, the hash venue he chose is named after Benjamin James Ferdinando, another boring accountant. Udder is keen to know how a boring accountant can get some public gardens named after him. Well, Ferdinando knew he was boring, so he livened things up by being Captain of the Sandringham Rifle Club (small bore) and joining the Sandringham Bowls Club. These two organisations met at the same venue at the same time – bullets would be ricocheting off bowling balls and scattering bowlers everywhere. However, Ferdinando probably got the gardens gig by being the first mayor of Sandringham.
On Wednesday NickelB, the Religious Advisor must have been dropping acidic magic mushrooms and not watching the weather. It was sunny, then cloudy, then hot, then rainy, then blustery, then humid, then thundery, then sunny, then windy, then lightening-ey, then overcast, then sunny, then blowy, then calm, then pissing. I think the GM should have a Cabinet reshuffle – can’t see how NIckelB can hold on to his portfolio after this debacle.
Hares – Udder and Gargoyle.
– Udder can multi task – he was both hare and Sargeant for the day. GM brought along some screen shots of similar multi taskers. Gargoyle did her usual delicious dip followed by salads and very tender corned beef. For afters we had Klingon/Flora’s wedding cake supplied by GM.
Visitors
Isosceles from Exeter Hash. He told us the wonderfully interesting story of his naming. Back in Exeter one day, he was supposed to go to the Obelisk carpark, but wrongly went to the Triangle carpark, hence the name. Had he gone to the right carpark, he might have been called Cleopatra, after the her Needle
Returnees
Pog, Swamp Rat, Aristokat, Sweaty Box.
Special Runs
Gargoyle x 96, Punch x 200, Kokup x 189, Lotsa Fun x 555, NickelB x 565, ShuShu x 11.
Prickly Bush described the run – it was short and hot, like the hare. There was lots of sand in Sandringham, lots of paths and stairways up and down the cliff face, some nice houses.
Punch described the walk – same as run except they followed Klingon and Toffee along the cliff top, they enjoyed a great pink sunset and lightening show, and cooled down at Gargoyle’s drinkstop at Cheesecake’s house.
They awarded run/walk 2005/2015.

Barbie told a joke and NickelB told a joke.
