The run started through some bush and along a creek and then on to the main road.

8.20pm. GM Weekly opened the circle.

Visitors and returning runners.    Hal Al on his return from Bali presented the GM with a pair of colourful trousers. All runners let off a “hooray” when the GM fitted  into the garment. A tight fit as there was a natural tenancy for clothing to shrink when bought from overseas. Brutus was instructed to give the down down.

A great opportunity to meet all your mates and re-set your clocks, just as KB assisted Wrong Way with his vehicle’s time piece. This makes sure runners arrive on time. Truckie will be asking assistance to reset his his clock before next weeks run.

This was a splendored evening with a gentle cool breeze coming off the near by river. The half moon  high up in the sky was positioned  over the deck.  A mirror of lights, reflecting off the calm surface of the river from the well lite high rise buildings  across the waters. Large candles on the tables completed a rather romantic scene.

The walkers got side tracked and decided to purchase some ICE on route for all to enjoy. Thanks to ice carriers , FA, Karl and Woodsie who cooled/ chilled your beers and wine. On returning, all enjoyed the bountiful cheese dips and water biscuits so close to the water. It this how the name came about.?!

To night’s meal was spiced chicken stew with vegetables , soft rice and buttered bread rolls. This was followed, by out of this world sponge cake. Plenty left for second helpings. Thanks KB and Swindler.

The passed Show Pony was remembered as it was now two years from his passing.

All were reminded about the pending Car Rally that Mad Mike is organising and if attending, should place their bookings and payments.

KB was drilled by Madamoiselle Latrine about a night out at a hotel last year. It was a great party  consuming vast amounts of wine and falling asleep. A photo was produced from a mobile phone. A down down was instructed by Ice Man.

S- Bends informs runners that the special imported American  beers (IPA)will be $5 each.

The Booze Master was trying  out some thing different from the normal or local beers. Unfortunately these IPA  beers were not a preferred taste of the runners. Birthday beers taste better.  Please donate Australian coins into the kitty bucket as other country coins are not welcome.

There are Birthday beers at $1 each. Many thanks Bent Banana.

The run was on even terrain and the run was well marked, except for one missing arrow that caused a little confusion on what direction the runners should take.

The returning runners were treated to a quick snack of cream cheese and water biscuits. For the main meal is was sliced ham with plenty of fresh salads and buttered french rolls. Dessert was various cake slices with custard.

8.25pm. Circled called by  GM Weekly.

Visitors and returning runners.    We were all pleased to see the return of Rug, Swindler and Slab who returned from an overseas holiday.  After Slab sharing a quote with runners, there was a Down Down.

The hare, Exelpet, entered the circle and the GM gave the walkers report. He said it was a dam great run even though he considered it a long one.

Nosh report.   Sir Rabbit encouraged to pass comment on this as he was a connoisseur on lettuce salad dishes as all rabbits are..

POW.     KB calls Sir Prince, VD, Brutus and Misscarriage into the circle. Some friendly teasing and abuse followed. In the end Brutus received this trophy as he has passed comment on Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles which KB was so found of.  A down Down followed.

RA report.     Rug explained the complex problems be encountered in the Philippines to renew an expired passport. The old passport details among other important information was not recorded by the authorities. Some technical  past details were no longer regarded in obtaining another.  What a debacle, but not worth while  tearing his hair out for. Was it painful ?!!

Charge from the floor advised that even with the Townsville floods in progress, emergency vehicles were called out for Sir Prince wife’s broken toe.  What is really implied is that he should toe the line. A down down was given.

This run started early at 5pm as it was Australia Day. The run was well marked with pink PVC tape and well marked chalk arrows. There was a drink stop half way to ease the hot run. Port and lemonade with a few ANZAC   biscuits and other shacks. It is common in Pommie land that port with lemonade was drink in the summer months.

On the return to Lions Park the runners dug into more snacks of ANZAC  biscuits, crisps with cheese dips or a jar of Vegemite.

6.45pm. GM Weekly opened the circle.

Visitors and returning runners.     This was Bren Gun and a Down Down was awarded.

The hare, Sir AH called into the circle to thank him for setting the run.

Run report.    This was given by Bren Gun who mentioned that it was well marked with pink tape and chalk arrows. It was a bit of rough going as the runners had to go up and down hill on loose stoney terrain.

Walkers report.     Nasty thought this was a good walk until going up the hill at Moonbeam Parade.

Food report.     A great meal of spicy chicken stew with vegetables. The desert consisted of peaches in custard and jelly. A down down followed.

Charge from the floor.    Sir Slab advised that  Sir Prince, from returning from his recent visit to Brisbane friends, found that he had brought back some one else’s phone to the Gold Coast. You just cant trust your visitors these days!!  A Down Down was in order for this runner.

A second charge from the floor was  by Miscarriage.  As this was Australia day and all things sacred to Australia should be thanked, he objected to the jar of Vegemite being called “axel grease”.

The RA told a joke about a bus full of people  whom had a whip-around to raise funds when a driver parked his bus on a cliffs edge.

POW.    Enter the Ice Man. A runner should show respect to fellow runners and use decent language. KB received this trophy as he showed dis-respect to a fellow mate. A well loved mate Sir Prince.  A Down Down to this hasher.

The Don McSween Park is right on the beach. After the run and devouring Water Biscuits and cheese dips  with carrot sticks as the evening snack. We observed the rising  and dripping from the ocean waters,  a full moon from the horizon of the ocean.  With a cool sea breeze blowing, the full red moon rising, children on skate boards, people  waking dogs, it was a truly magic evening.

This tranquilly was short lived as Cracker Man surprised all of us with bangs of fire crackers. Enter the Dragon.!

Nosh was a leg of ham, salads, pine apple rings and some chicken pieces. The desert for this warm evening was welcomed cold ice cream with peaches and custard. Second serving was available to any takers.

8.25pm. Our GM Weekly called to circle up.

Visitors and returning runners.    Misscarriage, KB, Wrongway, Swollen Colon ( Cracker Man), Glider  ( Harvey Bay) and Tangles. There was mention that may be cracker Man was in Paris arranging the street riots.  A Down Down to this rebel lot.

A very likely story was told by Woodsie about his travel into Cuba and his travel insurance after his vehicle had an accident. He suffered a few injuries such as cracked ribs and a broken nose. He looks petty good now.!

But he did not loose his kind heart as he presented the GM with a real Winstone Churchill cigar.

S- Bends believes that the accident was caused by a large and full wallet that throw the vehicle on to a collision course.

Birthday Boyz. There is no slowing down for these  active runners but rather a Dow Down and a well sung Birthday song by running mates.( All censored by ON On Sec). Happy Birthday Hal Al, Shat and Sweat Hog.

POW.  This was also the hare, Ferret. He thanked his cook assistants for their support with tonights nosh. KB  did an excellent job. A well deserved Down Down followed.

Run report.    Brutus mentioned that the run was  a scenic run down the fore shore of the ocean. A worth while run this night.

Walk report.    Sweat Hog said that it was terrific run as he can remember. (The fresh sea air  brings on memory loss.!)

Charge from the floor.  Shat had a show and tell from his I Pad to illustrated an article from a Glossy Magazine of KB in his glory.  A Down Down followed.

Woodsie told a emailed joke on why most runners enjoyed sex. This brought laughter from the runners.

Then it was Sweat Hog’s turn to tell his joke about his flying days. Sounds like he had a great job.!

Miscarriage told a a story of his recent trip and adventure in Cambodia. Sir Prince was  some what also involved in the adventure, and for this a Down Down followed.

Future event.  S- Bends reminds runners of a cocktail evening with the Galapagos Band at the Southport Speak Easy function room on Saturday 30th March 2019. If you would like to attend this jazz evening, just book and pay up.
