The last Ladies Lounge left in South Melbourne
Cheesecake’s 20th anniversary run
It was January 1996 when Cheesecake arrived for her very first Lakeside hash run at the Southern Cross Hotel South Melbourne. It was LSH run 578. Deeper was the GM, Udder was Hash Cash and you couldn’t split the difference between GG and a ray of sunshine. Sweaty Box was 10 years old and they had delicious calamari rings on the menu. I must have had a sort of shifty, SCB look about me because they put BarterBitch on my case, – for the whole run I couldn’t shake her. Much, much, much later in March 1996, Mummies’ Boy first arrived at LSH. I didn’t get named until LSH run 597 in June – I wasn’t on the committee so I couldn’t be fagged turning up very often.
Woosh forward to the 2016 circle at the Southern Cross. It’s true – I’m not a natural blonde. I was forced to wear a polyester brown wig and chortle at ancient photos of me being brunette. Thanks to E&B, Sweaty Box, Barter?, Cut Loose and all the others who reckoned they had nothing to do with the brunette ambush. There’s some revenge photos at end of this report. BTW we had a lovely Irish Coffee and cheesecake drink stop at Cut Loose’s house.
Returnees – Fishface, BarterBitch, Highly Infectious, Mothball
Walk report – Colours – they walked down and around and down again, and walkers still got lost going to Cut Loose’s house. Colours wants Cheesecake to win the 2017 AGM Fakawi Award. 7/10
Run report – 2 Bottoms described the run. – Cheesecake had runners running around in Middle Park semi circles so they all got lost. 2 Bottoms wants Cheesecake to win the next AGM Fakawi award. 16.66 /20
