This run was kindly held at Fanny Chamer’s residence in Broadbeach. A long under cover car parking space was most suitable and well lit for the nights gathering.

The run was around the suburb and over cannel bridges.

To keep the runners hunger pains at bay on their return, very hot beef pies were made available to them

8: 15pm. Circle opened by GM Weekly as Winston Churchill with his usual cigar in mouth.

Visitors.  These were Sour Puss (Kiwi land) and Soft Cock (Sweat Hogs Brother from Toowoomba).

GM calls on KB and Fanny Chamer to enter the circle. The GM congratulates them on the excellent nosh prepared tonight. A hot and tasty Spanish dish of PIELLA with fair amount of seafood for flavors. There was also a chicken curry and plenty of salads for other runners. This was followed by the favorite ice cream on a stick.

Run Report.  Sweat Hog mentions it was a fair run even that some of the pink arrows did peter out. A debate followed about the check -back arrows.

Walk Report.     S-Bends comments on that duration of about 47 min was just right. Botcho was invited to give the Down Down.

1. There is a charge from the floor for Bren Gun. He was allowed to tell a story about travelling in Germany in a new Mercedes. A slab of beer placed on the back seat shot forward on sharp braking, puncturing a can of beer, which sprayed all of its contents on the interior of this prestige car. Bent Banana gave the Down Down.

A further floor charge was directed to Ball Point for parking across a neighbors drive way. He was Down Downed by KB.

Our birthday boy this night was our adored Fuller Shit. In true tradition a birthday choirs was sung for his special day.

The RA tells a joke about an old flatulent husband. His wife prepares a turkey roast and she placed the bloody intestines of this bird, into the sleeping shorts of her sleeping husband. He awakens and tries to replace these turkey instines where he thinks they came from him, while asleep.

Arse Nic is thanked from standing in for another runner’s tasks.

Booze Report.    Proxy will be the stand in booze master.

Please note that there will only be wine next week instead of beer. This will be a wine night and those wishing to bring their own bottle, $5.00 corkage will be asked.

Ice man enquired if any runner will be interested in attending the Saturday Rugby game with a group of mates. Please advise and he will organize a time to meet.

GM will be forwarding the recent Southport bike ride passport answers to the City Council to issue the certificate for completion.

A reminder was given about the GM Luncheon on the 4th November. Please book and pay ASAP.

Sir Rabbit was asked about being the cook next week. Sir Rabbit replied, saying he knew nothing of this and that he was doing Fuck All.   No he is not.  Well, let it be known that Fuck All is not into those kinky things.!!

Ball Point was pushed into the circle for having his own little circle in progress with others.  A Down Down for this unacceptable behavior. GM now is in favor of the icings as punishment.

Quote of the week.  By Winston Churchill.

“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on”.

It was a rather cool night, right near the tramline. It was quite dark, as the park lights were not turned on. The city council should investigate this. The gas BBQ was also inoperative.   Now we know why we bring our own torches.

Generally all the runners enjoyed the run and walk.

The meal tonight was hot soup, curried sausage with rice and peas. Plenty of buttered bread. Followed up by apple crumble and ice cream.

8:15.pm .GM Weekly opened the circle.

He called on the returning runners and our visitor, Green Machine from Melbourne. Fanny Charmer did the down down for these fellows.

Our hare Nasty was called into the circle with Bent Banana who presented our devoted GM Weekly with a shiny new stainless steel hip flash. Now how is the Winston Churchill going to drink hooch while cigar is tight in his lips?

Food report.    Given by Nasty who informed us that the nosh portion control was exact.   A down down followed.

GM mentions we have a guest RA tonight. It was no other than Ice Man. He does tell a good story and jokes. Ice Man calls Arse Nik to show his slippers, or what he calls running shoes to the circle.

The two birthday boys, Jig Saw and Ferritt were given a birthday chorus and a warm down down. Fuller Shit agrees to bring more birthday beers next week. We are being spoilt by all the Birthdays. Thanks.

The past adventure bike ride around Southport and the passport answers will be made available to the City Counsel.

A reminder was given about the lunch on the 4^th November. Please put your name on the attendance list with the 13 others.

Next weeks run.   This will be at Florida Gardens near to Fanny Chamers residence. So guys stand by for another surprise evening.

Quote of the week. Winston Churchill.

Quote by Sweathog, Acting Booze Master and Official R.A.:

‘I go the gym every morning’

Maybe that is why he is multi skilled?

Ask him about it. There is more to it.

The Nosh:

Fuller pronounced it – Delicious!

Course 1: Your choice of pumpkin or onion soup with croutons.

I had onion as I had had homemade pumpkin soup on Sunday evening. My onion soup was delicious and accompanied by buttered bread.

Course 2: Sumptuous baby pies and sausage rolls with hand made sauce – divine.

By this stage the hounds were almost sated and conversation had reduced to a whisper.  Some notables led by Bren Gun went back for seconds and thirds. Indeed, after 3-7 samples many were staggering back to their chairs in the 4-car garage.

But wait – there was more!!

Course 3:

When all had settled back into their seats and were rubbing their tummies or falling asleep, out came trays of Chilli con Carne nestled in soft Taco shells.

Ole!

Surely that was it and Phantom and his team of Older Brother Graeme and Son in Law Peter would be forgiven if they did not offer dessert.

But!!

Course 4:

This time we had to drag ourselves to our feet and move to the inner garage where the Corvette is wrapped. There we were offered Pasta Bolognese – delicious. Bolognese sauce rich in tomato and al dente pasta. Serious trenchermen staggered back with steaming plates while others looked on in awe. Botcho commented that your scribe might be over indulging. But why not? This was good Nosh.

Ok, that was it.

But no!!

Course 5: The host and his helpers then produced carrot cake freshly cooked and with whipped cream. They even provided plate and spoons/forks.

Finally there was no more. The assembled multitude relaxed finally convinced that they had enjoyed a feast to rival the great ones that had taken place in the previous two weeks.

Seamlessly the GM called for the furniture to be packed away to groans from the mob that was hoping for a seated Circle while they recovered.

A table was reserved for the GM to place his paraphernalia and your scribe was also given a table and chair to ensure the Words were recorded correctly.

The Circle:

Run Report:

The runners were picked up in a Maxi Taxi and taken to Royal Pines Resort. On arrival at the entrance they had expectations of a quite night of luxury. Not so – they had to run 5km home with no markings all the while carrying Arsenic who had damaged a fetlock.

Walk report:

A gentle real estate tour around Sorrento checking out Kwakka’s first house that he built between 1900 & 1976 and baying at the yellow moon, which was at the end of every street. Well marked and a good length. Some tricky detours up lanes that fooled Shat, Sir Slab and Hard On. Even Swindler and VD would have been confused, but they weren’t with us.

GM’s Bike Ride report: 15 riders even though there were plenty of competitive events.

GM’s Lunch: Sunday 4^th November. $45/head. Pay now to ensure a seat. Free everything.

Splinter Lunch Report: at Goa, Tedder Avenue. $125 raised for Drought Appeal. Well done Circumference! Swollen Colon stole your scribe’s machine gun case but was caught by RA and given a Down Down. Thanks for looking after it Swollen.

Ferret was also given a Down Down to mark his success in winning the Bridge to Brisbane Run. Maybe that was the mature age class?

RA told a lovely story about the Pope in Ireland and a wheelchair drunk who missed a miracle.

Next weeks Run: Nasty at Cascade Gardens.

The GM told us ‘ You cannot make the poor richer by making the rich poorer ‘

Author: Winston Churchill

And finally he saved any pain to usual suspects by announcing the end of circle himself

End of Circle – 9.03pm

The suburb:

Sorrento was developed during the 70’s by Sir Bruce Small who was mayor around that time – is history repeating itself now with our much loved developer mayor? Sir Bruce had just finished Isle of Capri and had some sand leftover. What to do? Why not another Italian masterpiece?

History suggests he did well. Both suburbs command high prices.

Bruce Small, as he was originally, was a blow-in from Melbourne but born in Sydney. He made his first fortune making Malvern Star [a Melbourne suburb] Bikes and flogging them through his General Accessories wholesale business. At one point he had 100+ stores and 1000+ dealers.

He gave Hubert Opperman his first good bike. Oppy went on to compete in the Tour du France when it went into the night and many other long European races.

In 1956 the Tandem winners in the Melbourne Olympics rode a Malvern Star.

On On,

The runners reported that it was a good run. There were a few times where the trail markings went cold. After a little bit of searching the chalk arrows was found. The running area was a maze of lanes and roads, which makes things interesting.

On returning we noticed that there were bowls of Bean Sprout Soup with Beef on the tables. It did not take long and the runners were faced down consuming the favored dish. This was a meal in it self.

Another added surprise is that this was followed by Beef mince in a cradle of fresh Green Lettuce.  Again to our surprise, it was followed by desert of deep fried banana topped with ice cream. This was a second week of a great nosh evening. The cooks did a fantastic job.

8:16 PM.  Fanny Chalmer was the GM for tonight. (Stand in for GM Weekly)

S-Bends informs that tonight, is the night of three of our birthday boys. Slab, Phantom, and VD. These special runners were called into the circle and a Happy Birthday chorus was sung to them. Tonight’s turn out by runners is amazing, and running mates gave Birthday wishes to the Birthday Boys.  All enjoyed the low cost beer.

Run report.  Brutus gave this report. He said it was a great run. Botcho added to the comment saying it was magnificent as was the nosh.

Tonight hares.  SIR SLAB AND SIR PRINCE, were called into the circle for a down down.   (Much bigger than the Coles add) A big many thanks for excellent nosh.

Some runners enquired about next week’s run as they thought the last two runs were difficult to beat.

Commonwealth bike ride in Southport. 19^th August 2018.

Ball Bag was questioned why he was absent from this event. He endeavored to give some lame excuse but that was, disregarded by the runners. Never the less he was given a down down.

Ball Bag then proceeded to give a story about fishing, which brought much laugher to the runners.

Poxy tonight also celebrates the arrival his fourth grand daughter. A down down proceeded for this Grand Dad. Poxy also tells a joke about a nurse examining some guys black testicles. This also has the runners in fits of laughter.

One of our favorite joke tellers, Ice Man, told a joke about a centipede where a lot of time was taken to start a run, as there were a lot of running shoes to be laced up.

KB entered the circle to mention that the run and nosh of the last Monday’s night run was a combined effort of participating team members of the runners. He thanks everybody for all the hard work in the preparation and the cleaning up afterwards.

We were also informed that Miscarriage was a trained butcher. In the past he had his own butcher shop. It was called “Eat My Meat”. No further comment. We’re also told that he placed his father into an old age home. Only to go around chasing all the nurses. He was given a down down for his kindness bestowed on his father.

Visitors.   These were drawn into the circle to give a short brief about them self’s. Warm welcome goes to Derrick (Gold Coast), Ly (Cambodia) Peter (Tally) and Sprung.

The GM was very pleased about the turn out of runners this evening. He thanked all for making these runs so great and thanks all for their attendance.

To close the evening off in the right mood, Fuller Shit tells a joke about a person going into a sex shop to buy a vibrator for a lady friend

Next week’s run. This will at 25 Argyle Crescent. Bundall.

Splinter Lunch. 24^th August 2018. This is to be at Goa Indian Restaurant, Main Beach.

8.40pm.   Sir Jo was called to end the circle.
