There was plenty of parking for all in a well-lit area. The chilly breeze abated leaving the evening very pleasant for a winter’s night.

S- Bends, our dedicated Booze Master, reminds us of America’s independence. Any reason to have a beer and celebrate.     Oldies beers will be $3.50 each.  Special Coors brew from the Rocky Mountains of the High Country Colorado is available for American Independence Day on the 4th July.

Very good value bottled wines are now available; the Shiraz wine will only be in casks.

The welcome Birthday beers will be made available, only after all runners have made it back to the start. The Down- Downs will have more of a kick with light beer or otherwise requested.

Sweat Hog, the hare explained the chalked arrows to the runners and reminded that there were a few check marks in place on the run.

There was congratulation for one of our senior runners. Blackie. He is like the Johnny Walker whiskey advertisements, still running after 78 years. Well done.

Aussie played Father Christmas in July by donating a bag of T-shirts to all to help them selves to. Some pleased faces were noticed.

It was good to see Miscarriage back at the circle. His braced leg looked uncomfortable for him from that painful cow-kick a few weeks back. A speedy recovery Miscarriage.

Circle commenced at 8.05pm.

GM Weekly advises there are some serious items to get through. Firstly the War Office is active in investigating the disappearance of the Winston Churchill cigar from last week.

As a last resort the GM had a spare, but failed to locate it in his attire. After a while this was retrieved from deep packets with many other nasty items. Maybe the missing one is in the Top pocket. The case continues. There must be a smoking gun around somewhere!?

The Booze Master, S-Bends further informs of the changes of the beer and wine price. All requests will be considered on the Down –Downs.

Run Report. Missing Link.  This was a good run and marked arrows were well displayed. Nasty reported the run as excellent.

Nosh report.  This was a good traditional meal. The rise was well cooked and the bread rolls buttered on both sides. What more can one ask for?

Prick of the Week. Truckie entered the circle with the carry bag. The trophy was to be given over to Caustic or Nasty. Nasty received this as Caustic was absent. A down down followed.

1. Sweat Hog. He was pleased about how well the Splinter Lunch turned out.

After a joke of a wife asking her husband if he could survive on $800 a year as this was the equivalent of his spending on a lady of the night.

Botcho, Carefree, Proxy and Hard On and later Shat were in the circle.  After further friendly teasing all were given a down down.

The GM gave a run – down of some special planed events. There is to be a bike ride starting from the Southport Council Chambers. The ride required answers about Southport surrounds and history. The answers are to be noted in Passports. These will be made available to all riders or walkers. The date will be on 9^th August 2018 starting at 9:30am.

Kwakka and VD will be doing the next two runs. This is said to be a French Run.

A Happy Birthday was sung in honour of Blackie for attaining a senior age. There is a runner more senior in age, but no name was mentioned. I wonder who this is?

Mention was given to Swollen Colon’s birthday on Saturday night. All enjoyed this occasion. Swollen Colon was in full swing entertaining all his friends though out the evening. Unfortunately he over hydrated and had trouble negotiating the run route on Sunday’s marathon. The ambulant crews had to be advised of his delicate position.

Antonia, a passing stranger on a bike was encouraged into the circle as he was curious about all these people having fun in the car park.  A runner dinged the stranger’s bikes bell, the GM rang his own on the walking stick and a bell melody was created. The Bells of Sundale Bridge.

We were advised that Nasty was in training for a Hollywood stunt man. He now has had plenty of practice of going head over heels on his pushbike handlebars. He does this over and over again. He is ahead of every one else at this.

A charge was laid against S-Bends by Swollen Colon. Why the hell did the cooler box contain a bottle opener if all beer cans had a self-opening tag on each can? Is this a trick question?

The GM mentions that our new member Nick has no name as yet.

Nick was requested to close the circle. The runners were invited to stay behind to enjoy a social drink.

THERE IS NOTHING GOVERNMENT CAN GIVE YOU THAT IT HASN’T TAKEN FROM YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Circle closed at 8.45pm.

The night was cool with the sea freeze blowing off the near by ocean.

The parking and meeting area was spacious and well lit from well-elevated council light poles.

Truck Tyres had a free evening as he did not have much to do about the lighting.

All good and all ready to go.  Oh no.! Here comes Swollen Colon to break the silence of the cold chill of the night. Fire works in the garbage bin took every one by surprise. Our visiting night birds, Bush Stone- curlews took off in fright leaving only their tail feathers behind.

The circle opened at 8.06pm

As every one were so comfortable with friendly chatter and seated after the run, the kind GM Weekly declared that the circle would be a sit-down one.  All were very pleased about this change.  Vehicle keys will be confiscated until equipment was repacked into the hash trailer.

Then there was another explosion from the cracker man. Now all were fully awake again. This also included the Anti Tourist Unit, Police Air helicopter flew overhead checking us out.

The GM was enquiring where is his last week’s gift of a stubby holder got to. He was pleased it was returned.

Booze Master.   A blue beer can was raised up for all to notice. Maroons mugs were given by Two Dogs. The Maroon’s flag was also waved around as rivalry.

Prick of the week took a down down.

Josephine had suggested that specials to be sort when purchasing booze. The booze master noted this.

Visitors and returning runners.   This was a visitor from last week. . Welcome back Nick

Welcome back Crocodile. There was applause from the runners. In his little tale- telling, he mentioned he had now about 37 trailers in his possession. There was a welcome down down for him.

Hare.  This was Magician and Ice Man. The runners noticed his particular T-shirt. Explanation was given that it was a Korean hash shirt. Was all this Bull Shit?

Run Report.    Was given not to offend. The run assembled a challenge to all. There was a “frugality” of chalk arrows that marked the way. Runners were lucky, as no person came across the escaped Boa constrictor in the area.

Walk Report.  Sir Slab. He mentioned some runners saw only two arrows. These must have been one at the start, and the other one at the finish.

Nosh Report.  Crocodile.  Wonderful food. ( Who was he trying to impress). He went on to say he would be visiting again in six months once he recovered from the night’s meal. (That is more like it)  There was a grand taste of a burnt dinner and not from   spices used, as all thought it was.

We were informed that our night’s visitor Nick would be joining us. Welcome.

There were comments from runners that his joining will bring down the average age of all of the old farts of the group. This does not apply to Brewtus.  He is a fart on his own trail.

Crocodile told a tale about an old Indian that had to sell some thing before he joined a hash group. Black Pirate had a hand in this. A runner was to be renamed Tampon Top and he was not seen again in the hash group. There was a name change back to Dark Horse.

Train Ride.  This was a good day out organized by Botcho.

1. There was a chorus of hooray from the runners. The night’s meal had obtained that smoked taste some how. That cracker taste from gun powder in the air.

Swollen Colon last week was tasked by Ball Point, to look after our visitor Nick and take care of him on the run. All went well until going up the hill. After the climb, Nick was nowhere to be seen.  On his own now, Swollen Colon was concerned about loosing his running partner in the dark bush.   A down down was given to this lost runner.

Prick of the Week.    Magician.  A pay back for that smoky tasting meal. Never the less, the hot soup was welcome and tasted good.

GM Weekly brings order and then presents caps to honour some runners.

These were, Missing Link. 850 Runs.   Proxy 150 Runs.  Sweat Hog  50 Runs.  Well-done fellows.

Sir Rabbit explains that Friday’s Splinter lunch is at Gav’s Steak House.

Our rocket man, Swollen Colon is having his Big 60th birthday on Saturday 30^th June. All are invited to celebrate at the Benowa Bowls Club at 7pm. A very Happy Birthday Rocket Man.

Next weeks run will be near the Sundale Bridge area.

Quote of the week given by the GM.

Winton Churchill.    “One man with conviction will overwhelm a hundred who have only opinions.”

Circle closed by Nick at 8.50pm.

On On .Sec.

Note. A certain person removed the Winton Churchill cigar belonging to our GM. He wants it back. The GM is calling out the War Office personal to track this smoking gun. Be warned.  Smoke it at your own peril.!!

This was a Birthday run. Happy Birthday Ballpoint.   (Behind the face mask, Donald Trump)

This night was very cold for almost every one except for our GM Weekly, whom appeared not to feel the chill. Some said he had a little more body insulation around him.

The hare demonstrated the chalked run check- points on the concrete floor. This what had to be followed on the dark bush trails? Well some runners missed these markings.

The runners were cautioned not to follow Brewtus, as last week he set his own heavy lingering odour run.

The park shed did not have lighting, but soon it was resolved by Shat vehicle extension light.

Later, Truckle arrived and saved the night again and set up a string of LED lights. No sooner completed, fire works exploded breaking the night’s silence. Yes. It was Swollen Colon making his arrival know to the residents.

There were a few late runners returning. Magician, Swollen Colon and Botcho. Their lament was. “Never leave your mates behind.”

The nights returning runners were treated to a bowl of hot onion soup. May be to compete against Brewtus. The BBQ hamburgers and salads went down well.

All watched how carefully Ball Point placed his Birthday candles on his spectacular cake. Then came along Swollen Colon with his half meter in length fire works cracker, and placed it into the cake. Then proceed to light the fuse. All now stood back as no body wanted exploded cake on their face. Thankfully it was a dud.

A happy chorus was sung. Happy birthday. Fuck You.

We were informed that Miscarriage cow kicked injury was serious. He had a RMI scan and further damage to muscles were noticed. It was suggested by runners that he needed to go to Vietnam for massage treatment.

Our GM Weekly opened the circle at 8:15pm dressed as his favorite hero that of Winton Churchill. His large cigar adorned him this time. May be retrieved from his grand kids last week.

Run report.   VB commented on the nights run. It was good and at a new location. The run was well marked. Applause followed from fellow runners.

Walkers report.   There were few as they returned early and enjoyed the drinks on this cold evening. Some were said they got lost in the dark. Yeah, Yeah.

Nosh report.   Given by Magician who enjoyed it, as he was still eating. That was how good it was.

Visitors.    These were, Hot Dick and Ball Bag.

The hare with others were given a Down Down.

The GM proceed to give out special gifts. One person was to Brewtus for laying out his special lingering odour trail last week. He was presented with a box of CASTRO STOP.  A Down Down for this trail setting. The other person will be presented with his gift next week. So folks, stay turned for next week’s recipient.

Visitors report.   Rapper.  From Sydney and Nick from the Gold Coast, who wanted to see the Pussy Grabber?  Dirty Old Man.

RA report.   This was confusing. There were two of them. The assistant RA was Magician.

S-Bends was drawn into the circle about how he invented a new cocktail and the story how he achieved this. Mostly it consisted of Bailey’s Cream and other toxic mixes. A down down followed.

Two Dogs was encouraged into the circle and told a joke about digging holes into the lawn. This led to a Maroons flag to be presented and a Blue can of promised beer.

Two Dogs fondly received the Prick of the Week.  A Down Down was in order.

GMs quote of the week is by Oscar Wilde.

Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.

The circle on this chilly night closed at 8:50pm.

That is it until next week. Keep rugged up for the cooler week.

Before the commencement of the run, S- Bends announces a new price of a beer and runners now also have a better choice, and bigger wine glasses to drink from.

The presence of Guinness beer was received with great appreciation. These entire alcohol beverages will only be costing $3.

This is real good value compared to restaurant prices. For a good warm up for the run a shot of sherry was welcome as well as a shot before the commencement of dinner. It kept the runners warm and in good spirit for the evening.

The run it self was well marked. The route journeyed past playing fields of young people playing their respective sports in the chill of the night.

Everyone was pleased to see Rock Hard at the run venue again. He is progressing well from his illness.  Maybe his hash name means some thing more? He is rock hard after all. He has survived by eating more organic fare. Take it easy so we can see you many more times.

It was noticeable that the evenings are getting a lot cooler. The runners were getting more rugged up for the evenings.

The park shelter was well lit and with plenty of table space and seating on this night. Truckie looked a bit bored, as he did not have to install the LED lighting. Well he is normally fast and makes light work of installing the LED lamp in that sweet spot for all of us.

Circle was called at 8.15pm

It was noticed by some runners that Ball Point always seems to find a crown beer where others fail. How come?

The GM appeared in reincarnation of Winston Churchill. Rugged out in his black jacket and with a walking stick.  He was not munching on his cigar, as he properly could not resist smoking it during the week.

The returning runs were called.  There were heaps of them. One was Kwakka, Nasty Excelpet and Fanny Charmer. A note was given with a down down to these runners.

Run report.  It was well marked out according to Excelpet.

Well done to the hares.

Fuller further agreed it was well marked and that all made it back to base.

Nosh report. Presented by S- Bends. Cheekily he says if it was left to the master chef, he would have been fired and kicked off.  But jokes aside the nosh was tasty and hot.

Even on this cool night runners were missing their desert. This dish was not going to appear for some reason.

The two hares were Josephine and Sir Rabbit.

For setting and marking the run, they enjoyed the down -down given to them.

The chosen park area is a favorite for the runners as it has been used in the past a few times.

Miscarriage, the cowboy, was called into the circle to further explain how he was cow-kicked by his favorite cow when he lifted her skirt.

He said he stood on a box then into another box to gain entry into the holding pen.

He was eyed off by a few cows and was caught in the rush by them. The animals did not enjoy his presence and they kicked the shit out of him.

Because the cow made such a good impression on his CALF muscle he ended up in Beaudesert Hospital. He also got kicked out of there. We are pleased about this.

After a weeks rest, he has progressed well, and he is now on his udder feet from hoofing around with cows.!! A good down down made him feel a little better.

There was a chorus sung from the circle, singing bestiality is great.

Aussie brings a bag of goodies into the circle. Swindler and Rock Hard were called up. A jacket was found in the goody bag. It was considered an honor and a status symbol to own this valued jacket.  It was found to be Hard On’s.

A down down, for having his mind on other things when it was time to leave with all his gear last week.

To our surprise Sir Rabbit came out from the dark and served our long awaited desserts. He was carrying a tray around his neck, like the one’s used in the cinemas of the past.  Fun-fair music was played to complete the scene.

Everybody’s sweet tooth was now satisfied.

The prick of the week was in the circle wearing the nipple cap trophy on his head. Some said it was a No No to do this, as no hat is to be worn in the circle. This was debated and was later considered to be the normal attire of a hash man.

Truckie questions the GM Weekly about the trail master. He has not been seen for a while. All was assured that the events were spread out on the Trail Master dining room table. The GM was convinced that it would be all in good hands.

Truckie now is sticking his neck out further and further, asking too many questions about all number of items. He is called into the circle to be subdued with Magician and a down down was instructed.

Cowboy Miscarriage also calls Swindler into the circle. Questioned where Swindler went overseas and how 2 Dogs looked after his farm and cows. Unfortunately on the farm there was an extremely aggressive rooster called Dave. This rooster attacked 2Dogs and he come off second best in spite of many years of his Martial Arts training.

Swindler further advised that after the rooster Dave’s bad behavior toward 2Dogs, the rooster had to be roasted. The rooster is cock sure no more.

Brewtus was called in to the circle.  On commencing his run with Josephine both made sure there was toilet paper made available for him. He stomach was playing up and the runners did not want to be behind him.  For obvious reason he shed his own smelly trail. He did not need any chalk to mark his trail. Only chalk he needed was in his gut.!

His shoes were also noticed and questioned where he had been running, as he had to make a pit stop in the dark along the route. A down down washed him down.

Miscarriage and two other runners may have sold their properties and they look to become the next millionaires of Gold Coast Hash. Hey. How about a soft loan?????

Prick of the week.   It was felt that the award trophy be given to Sir Botcho. He forcibly encouraged past week recipient, to receive the trophy. A down down was in order after the presentation.

The GM asked Ball Point about next week’s run. It was advised it would be South of the Gold Coast.  A visiting USA hash runner from Washington will be in attendance, and is looking forward to meeting the Gold Coast hash runners.

Iceman was recognized as an excellent RA and for his service given last year.

A well deserved down down was in order for this great hash member.

Nasty was called into the circle and the surrounding runners were asked what did they think of this man. Some people said he is OK, and some people spoke the truth.

The Courier Mail however, writes he is irresponsible and uncaring person. This was from a newspaper article written on 25th May 2018 is evidence of view. (Refer to photograph.)

But he is still our favorite hasher.

The GM’s quote for the week.

Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.

The early evening next to the water was chilly with the distance twinkling lights of units on Ephraim Island.

This run was special as it was on the same day of birth of our G M, Weekly.

Every one was happy to hear that the drinks this night would only be one dollar. Just like the local Dollar Stores.

We were informed that one of our farming runners, Miscarriage, had a run in and a knock out kick from an old cow. He tried to lift her tail and she did not like her skirt lifted. What a cow. Speedy recover Miscarriage.

Ice Man informed about his loan raising charity for woman in Africa. He has helped over 20,000 woman and others in business.

The odour of disinfectant filled our cold noses and noticed that Truck Tyres, Ice Man and other helpers were cleaning the food serving tables. They should do well working in hospitals as a team.

The run was on paved pathways and well marked. Every now and then a chalked arrow did a 90-degree bend to go down side roads. May be indicated that the pubs were in that direction. A couple of human shadows were seen heading in this direction.

On returning, a hot mug of curried soup and a French bread roll was a very pleasant surprise.

KB and S-Bends did a splendid job with the BBQ chicken and really hot potato chunks. This was finished off with ice cream and chocolate Possum droppings.

Circle was called at 8:35pm.

S-bends advised that is a significant run, as it was the GM and Booze Masters birthday. A song of celebration was sung and followed by a down down.

As a token of gaining extra age, the GM was gifted with a red Bula Bula towel, a yellow cap, fridge magnets, and many other items.

The GM was quite taken back by all the gifts given by generous runners. Never before has a GM received so many gifts.  He did have a big smile on his dish. A down down was in order for having this happy grin.

Missing link mentions that in the past a similar run was held here.

The R.A was 2Dogs. A Bennie that was left behind from a previous run was held up and to be claimed later by the owner.

Caustic was bought into the circle. A newspaper-cutting photo was shown around of him in the circles of the Royal Family and the Wedding. A real look alike. For his good looks of a double, another down down was in order.

Shat had us all listening to his joke about a seat at a restaurant.

The GM mentions a hare is required for June 25^th. Magician is to look into this and to a further hare line.

The RA brings S-Bends into the circle and gives a story of that morning cycle ride. He some how avoided a pedestrian and how funny all this looked.  S- Bends puts up a challenge to support the Maroons. He will denote a blue jumper and a blue can of beer. The series must be won.

The Prick of the week mentions this trophy has had clean- up and looks good again from being black and blue from last week.

The completion of 1000 runs cap was presented to Sir Ferret. The cap fitted him perfectly. (It was a 4XXX size.) Well-done Sir Ferret.

The run report as well as the nosh report was good and all were pleased with the results.

There was a call to all of the high achievers to enter the circle.

These were, Phantom, Magician, VD, and Fuller.

Truckle was there as he turned up on time for the bike ride for once.

Caustic was there as a piece of concrete got in the way of his truck.

As the Shiraz wine was not too popular with runners, this would be with drawn from drinks that were to be available.

Next week run will be on the corners of Government Road and Whiting Street.

There was some disappointment that Swollen Colon could not set his fire works off last week.

Circle was closed at 9:15pm.

That’s All  folks

Fuck All
