HARES: E&B and Kenzie
VENUE: Tadka Hut Indian Restaurant, 82 Wellington Parade, East Melbourne.
THEME: The Virgo’s Birthday’s Run
The BoS took longer than usual because of all the visitors and returnees at the run. The hares gave us the usual crap and it was On On across Wellington Parade. Now, who has actually read the first page of ‘The Book’ where the first line reads “Hashing can be Dangerous”. This became evident quickly and the run became a run of attrition with Scrubber the first to go down – a victim of Melbourne’s tram tracks, but he was up and on his way promptly. Then came Whippet who skinned his knee and bled his way around trail and on back home where ice packs were issued. Prince went down in a heap after an unfortunate collision with a bike and had to be taken to hospital to treat a nasty gash to his leg (see photos) and was not seen again until the last of the last were leaving. At least he had a smile on his face and a fishnet stocking on his leg. But these falls were not the end of it and other hashers progressively left before and during the circle until only about half of the original 33 were left. The circle must have been pretty bad this week because it wasn’t just the dogs that were leaving. OK, OK, the circle did start late, but that was because the meals were slow coming out and many hashers were still eating. There was a cameo appearance from Cut Loose and Astro, but they too had ailments that required a quick getaway (hope you made it on time Astro).
Thanks to Cooch and Tricky Dicky for looking after Prince and getting him to hospital and also for Tricky Dicky who remained with Prince until he was stitched up and then escorted him back to Tadka Hut. Their meals had been thrown out by the time they arrived back, but the restaurant was good enough to make each of them a fresh meal to take away.
Now for the good parts. Champagne was served with dinner and two birthday cakes were presented for E&B and Kenzie with various renditions of Happy Birthday ……etc as the candles were blown out. While the cake was being eaten, the 2017 AGM commenced and the 2016/17 Annual Return was accepted. As there were no volunteers (apart from Tahlia) willing to overthrow any of the Committee, the GM and Committee were also accepted unopposed, fulfilling our obligations to Consumer Affairs.
RUN REPORT: By Scrubber Scored 8.1/66 (or whatever the square root of 66 is)
The run crossed the road and I was tripped up by a little thingy, but pushed on around some back lanes and into the parklands. Kokup wanted to know who was going to win the Preliminary Final as we ran around the black and yellow place. Naturally it will be the Crows because they are only playing against some Pussy Cats. We ran around the f….g place where the Grand Final will be. Then we ran around the f.…g tennis courts and into some f….g gardens where a woman appeared from behind a tree or bush. I thought I was being propositioned, but it was only E&B. The trail then took us through the streets of East Melbourne and before we knew it we were back home after only 4.5km.
WALK REPORT: By Gringa Scored 23/66
The walk turned out to be quite hazardous for some and I thought that the trail would be shitty, but it was marked more with blood than chalk after Whippet and Prince had accidents. It was good to see the old crowd again and walk through some familiar territory.
