Hash No: 84

Date: Tuesday, 21^st April, 2009

Location: Locomotive Hotel

Hare: Wrong Way

In Attendance: Golden Girl, Loan Arranger, Wrong Way and Costa Zoo.  

A bit of a small turn out for a mighty Run due to school hols and other such things, but what an interesting Run it was. Even getting to the first arrow was an adventure. Loan Arranger was on the injured list after doing his dicky ankle at basketball the previous night. We started the Run by squeezing under a weldmesh fence located behind some bushes not far from the pub. Costa Zoo decided right at that point that he would never excel at ‘break and enter’. From there we travelled along railway tracks complete with loose stones and things to trick you. Given that Costa Zoo is accident prone it was a wonder he didn’t do himself some sort of mischief along the way. The dismount from the high tracks was careful and no skin cells were lost in the process. Once we were back to earth it was a case of flat land running (or walking in my case). Wrong Way had cleverly organised a FRB and SCB timings perfectly. One of the great things about Hashing at night is that you can virtually guarantee that the two shaky lit dots getting closer are part of your tribe (as opposed to being on the railway track and the steady single light getting bigger). At one point whilst Costa Zoo and Wrong Way were off on the FRB trail I thought “What the hell am I doing wandering around a park in the dark looking for arrows?” I laughed out loud when I answered myself with “Hashing of course!” Costa Zoo found great enjoyment in the fact that one of the arrows was marked on the inside of a start picket and Wrong Way has discovered that things look very different at night! Due to the small number of Hashers for a well planned Run we have asked that Wrong Way do this Run again, as it was a beauty and should be enjoyed by more members of TH3. After the Run the Mismanagement Committee positions were nominated and elected as follows:Hash Master: Loan ArrangerHash Cash: Squatting Squaw (knowing she would be absent, put forward her nomination in advance)Hash Scribe: Golden Girl Following the formalities, and the fact that the Loco kitchen does not open for meals on a Tuesday night, Loan Arranger, Wrong Way and Golden Girl decided to partake of the cuisine at the Marigold. A dang good feed it was too!
