Hares: ShoeShopper and Wet Patch
Venue: Wellington St Beaumaris
Beautiful run through Beaumaris – beach or inland, the place is gorgeous. The run/walk was followed by excellent food. SS and SP always serve up a variety of grub so everyone sampled everything, so there was probably not much left after seconds and thirds.
Sweaty Box described the run – there was lots of beach and sand and she climbed up and down about 1000 steps. The runners spent lots of time running along boardwalks through natural bushland. Sweaty thanked the RA for great weather.
Punch described the walk – the walkers liked walking through the gardens at Black Rock House, they crossed lots of ovals, and sauntered down Clarice Beckett Lane. Clarice, who lived in Beaumaris, was a famous early 19th century Australian artist who studied with Fred McCubbin. The walkers aren’t philistines like the runners. They appreciate arty farty stuff.
The run and food were awarded 859/900.
The circle started with the hares Shoe Shopper and Wet Patch being dragged up the front and charged. The previous week, Wet Patch had caused the entire hash to be ejected from the Mordialloc Sports Club because his sloooowwwww down-down enraged the rotund security guard. As punishment he had to down 5 litres of beer from a giant glass, which he did!!
In fairness to Wet Patch, the Mordialloc Sports Club ejectment wasn’t the first time Lakeside H3 has been thrown out of a venue. In a previous life, the Maori Chief Hotel in South Melbourne told us never to come back. We’ve been back. We were once kicked out of the Town Hall Hotel in North Melbourne. Once upon a time a hasher called Downsizing organised a hash from a pizzeria in Moonee Ponds but when the proprietor saw us all, he wouldn’t let us in, which technically isn’t a throwing out. Yes, we were barred from a pizzeria! In the northern suburbs!! Crabbo and UCT organised a hash from the Cricketers Arms Hotel in Port Melbourne from whence we were also refused entry. Can you imagine, two posh pommies arrive to book a Wednesday evening event, and the proprietor thinks it’s going to be all sherry and cucumber sandwiches, and then we turn up! Then there was another hash set by Tripod from a pizza joint in Toorak. There was a contretemps with the owner about split bills. Someone found a cockroach on a table which was covered with a glass and presented to the owner. Much controversy – not sure if we walked out or were thrown out.
