PLEASE NOTE; Due to your glorious Hierarchy’s ability to manage funds, the weekly food contribution has now risen to $135.00 (which includes the fact you do not pay the $15.00 on the night). However if you do not spend the full amount please don’t claim it as we will know by the quality and quantity of food and launch an immediate enquiry, and subsequent reprisals.

In the event you have a great event/idea planned and wish to spend above the allocated amount you must pre arrange this with the Hash Cash, Blackstump, who will kindly advise you to go “jump” (or on very rare occasions consider your request). Nights at pubs/restaurants will attract a $5.00 fee.

As seems the usual these days a good crowd arrived, despite yet another event for the well trodden realms of Labrador. Aussie, filling in at late notice decided to capitalise on the date and add an American Independence Day theme advising runners to wear appropriate attire. A good spattering of the hounds donned the red white and blue including hats, shirts, track suits and flags (many of the mini kind donated y Sir Point Two). Sadly though, no sign of Latrine in sight.

The run started to the north but quickly disappeared west into the depths of beyond after a first on back. Over the highway and further west as we zigged and zagged running into checks and on backs. Before hitting Turpin road we turned south and again were turned by on backs cleverly concealed under wheelie bins. Along Turpin road and then east before heading towards Sir Rabbit’s Den for no doubt a themed drink stop. Wrong, on back. It was then the lengthy trek home along Stevens street (no drinks at Blowfly’s either) and skimming past McDonalds hoping for an American themed dining experience, again to no avail.

Back at the circles of wisdom (circular concrete seats at the park), the pack were met with a spread of nibbles made up of appropriately themed pretzels, popcorn, and dips. Even Budweiser beer was made available at the usual $2.00, making it hard to knock back. The hot dogs followed with a few starting to grumble, thinking this was it until the hamburgers appeared and we finished off with the Cheesecake dessert. A feast Uncle Sam would have been proud of, it’s a pity American type food is likely to wipe most of us out and further expand those bulging waistlines.

Rectum gave the run report stating it was “short but good and (importantly) kept the pack together”. Caustic followed with the nosh critique saying “it even looked like real meat” and gave it a worthy 7/10, however he did complain saying we should ban future runs from the Labrador area for the rest of the year (another Corrosive Caustic Comment or CCC for short).

The GM reported that our first legal action was in the wind with Missing Link claiming compensation for short payment of his “Gourmet” meal last week. As a consequence weekly nosh fees will rise to $135 per week, including the $15 run fee not required from the hare (only one). Read above for full details.
