Hash No: 71 Date: 2nd December, 2006 Location: Car Park A, Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre (TREC) Hare: Wee Wee In Attendance: 2Cracks, Hurley Burley, Nutz (carrying Fruit), Wee Wee, Mrs Slocum, NN Clinton, Golden Girl, and Hash Hound Dasy. Wee Wee was delighted to see so many turn up for his Run. The car park was chock-a-block! What a pity they were all dressed in their church finery and were off to partake of a Jehovah’s Witness gathering. This week’s gathering brought happy news – Mrs Slocum and NN Clinton announced their engagement. Methinks there may be a renaming of Mrs Slocum both through marriage and the Hash. I think Hilary would be a good name. TH3 wishes them all the very best for their coming nuptials…which will be in March next year. No hurry, eh! Like the good little Tamworth Hashers we are we set off at the hottest part of the day. 32.7 deg, smoke haze in the air, and storms a-brewing. Oppressive would be a good word to describe the prevailing conditions. Wee Wee set a moderate trail, given the weather conditions, and advised he did so to ease us all back into fitness after a few slack weeks. The area around the TREC and Longyard precinct has some interesting little streets and sneaky lane and pathways. 2Cracks was the only runner – the rest of us walked, and in the case of our Hash Hound Dasy – very tentatively, following her ‘fixing’. The first part of the post-run was munching on lovely cold melon which was quite refreshing, before moving on the verandah of the Longyard Hotel for an icy beverage.Hash No: 70 Date: 28th October 2006 Location: 3 Banksia Place Hare: HPM In Attendance: 2Cracks, Hurley Burley, Nutz (carrying Fruit), Wee Wee, Golden Girl, and Hash Hound Dasy. What a glorious day to have a run – no rain, light breeze, not too hot. Pity really. HPM has a natty little assistant to help him set the trail (apart from HH Solomon), and chalk talk saw us being told to look for the little foot shaped flour markings. Last time HPM set a run he had dotted Oxley Vale with little feet only to have the rain wash them away at the commencement of the run. This time rain was not a problem, drought conditions suck. Well, you certainly have to look harder for these little feet, which kept the pack fairly well together for the most part and saw us venturing into a couple of interesting backyard areas of Oxley Vale. Those tricky little feet are not easy to spot in the bush until you’re right on top of them, so they made for some interesting checking. HH Dasy found less dogs to harass her as she helped 2Cracks and Hurley Burley lead the way. Fruit and Nutz has two speeds - Stop and Go. Incubating Fruit (aka Oscar) has not slowed her down, and once it’s ‘Go’ there is no mucking around – she’s off Wee Wee occasionally discovered spare breath to blow on his horn, and the resultant answers on whistles let non-hashers know there were some crazy people around. With the warmer conditions there are many more people out in their yards to look at us as we gallop by. Might be nice if they joined us. I’m sure many would if they realised we were running towards beer! Somewhere along a big old road we separately yet collectively lost the trail. The good thing of course was that we lost the trail in sight of home and could hear the welcoming call of a full and deliciously icy esky. HPM provided wonderful On Afters and also brought out some Hash books for us to look at as he shared some very funny tales of past hashes and dubious practices (his mostly).It was one of those evenings where you could sit and drink forever…alas, real life intervened and we all went our separate ways (a bit like being on the trail really). Hash No: 69 Date: 21st October 2006 Location: Anzac Park Hare: Wee Wee In Attendance: 2Cracks, Hurley Burley (non-runner), Mrs Slocum, Nutz (carrying Fruit), Golden Girl, HPM, and Hash Hounds Solomon and Dasy. The park at this time of day was just about empty. Very unusual, as this is one of Tamworth’s favourite spots. It may have had something to do with the ominous big clouds that seemed to be moving in ready to drench all and sundry. Mrs Slocum had gone back to her slack ways and was somewhere between 2 and 4 minutes late, depending on which watch you looked at. Of course, Mrs Slocum’s watch said she was right on time. What does that tell you? Chalk talk was nice and simple, the marks were on the right, unless they happened to be on the left. Brilliant Wee Wee, just brilliant. This was basically an A to A run with the Circle at a B. 2 Cracks and Dasy took a very early lead, or was it that the rest of us took a very early non-lead? Either way, it was fun to watch man and dog scouting out the check marks ahead of us. Hash Hounds Dasy and Solomon were very efficient at attracting every sized dog, and some of them itching for a blue. Most were little dogs with a big chip on their shoulders though -seems to be a lot of them on that side of town. Fruit and Nutz walked at a cracking pace along with Mrs Slocum, and soon left Golden Girl, HPM and Solomon behind. That was until the top of Brisbane Street, and a real beauty of a check mark that saw Mrs Slocum head off into the direction of Endeavour Park, and 2Cracks, Dasy and Nutz hang a right. By this time the back runners had caught up and were happy to hear that 2Cracks was on trail. This then meant that Mrs Slocum had quickly become the back runner. Very kindly, HPM, Golden Girl and Solomon decided to wait for Mrs Slocum at the top of a nasty little bit of a hill, only to see her emerge a street below the hill after a clever little bit of shortcutting. It was observed that Mrs Slocum then went well and truly off trail. Mind you, she never noticed, and wondered why she was at point B ahead of the main pack. It turns out that Mrs Slocum is usually dependent upon Nutz to look for the trail markings! Of course 2Cracks and Dasy were first at point B, after having sussed out the path ahead for everyone. There to greet the pack were Hurley Burley and our Hare for the day, Wee Wee, both enjoying a very pleasant late afternoon with a cold drink. With the previously mentioned ominous type clouds having disappeared, we all spent the next hour or so enjoying the fellowship of the pack, a few Crownies, and a lot of laughs, before everyone had to go their separate ways for the evening. Hash No: 68 Date: 14th October 2006 Location: 41 Wilson Street, Kootingal Hare: Misfit In Attendance: Shoey, Wee Wee, Nutz, Golden Girl, HPM, and Hash Hound Solomon. A warm day indeed…we have just got to face the fact that Summer is going to be early, and long and hot. A little bit of chalk talk and we were off… and immediately lost the trail at the first check mark. You would think that four grown people should be able to find a few chalk and flour marks without too much difficulty! Wrong – we were all stumped and looked like madmen trying to find a needle in a haystack. Very crafty of Misfit indeed, she worked out how to keep the pack together. Eventually an arrow or three were located and it was “off we go” – only to be stumped at the next check mark. Did I mention that Misfit was good at keeping the pack together? The checking was done by Shoey and Wee Wee, and they had to keep their wits (?) about them to locate the trail markings. Have I mentioned that Misfit was good at keeping the pack together? Golden Girl was rapt, she finally had company for almost a whole run, and reached Home with the pack. Solomon, showing the wisdom of his name, decided a little dive off a little bridge into a cool little creek was the order of the day regardless of what HPM had in mind. This, of course, ensured a Down-Down for HPM as the last one Home. It was a delight to have a Down-Down for Misfit, it has been too long since she hared a run and this one was worthy of Inspector Clouseau.Hash No: 67 Date: 7th October 2006 Location: 16 Chelmsford Street Hare: 2Cracks In Attendance: Wee², Nutz, Hurley Burley, Golden Girl, HPM, Slocum & NN Clintonand Hash Hounds Dasy and Solomon. This would have to be one of the most entertaining runs and On Afters in TH3 history! It even beat our night at a pub with the victorious Tamworth Swans after their AFL Grand Final 2Cracks hared this one about 1.5hours in advance, and upon his return looked like … well … like…well, like someone who had just been running around in the hot sun for 1.5 hours with a backpack full of flour and a bottle of water. Oh, and speaking of a back pack full of flour and a bottle of water … what do you get in your back pack when the flour bag breaks and the bottle of water leaks? Having a baby bump has certainly cemented Nutz place as the most beautiful Hasher in TH3. We will welcome that little Hash Horror in early February, and with Wee Wee as daddy, the precious new Australian will need all the help he can get. Just as we all took off on the run, Mrs Slocum arrived. Nothing unusual in that though. Except this time she wasn’t ready for a run, having just driven back from Sydney. Wee Wee had left his horn at home and didn’t know what to do with his hands. Very soon the pack was spread out as the battle for FRB took place. The hash-gods intervened and NN Clinton (medico on call) received a cry for help, so off he ran. That took him out of contention for FRB, and rightly so as a Virgin Hasher. At roughly the same point there was a check that Hurley Burley read correctly, and she ended up with a little visit into the Peel River. The rest of us read it wrong, unwittingly, and picked up the trail quite close to the exit point of the intended trail. Of course, it wasn’t until much later that this small detail was realised. Ah well, you get that on the big jobs. Golden Girl, HPM and Solomon were basically together at the back of the pack until the ST/LT split and Golden Girl headed off on the LT. Imagine her surprise when after a half hour of solitude she spotted Hurley Burley, Dasy and Wee Wee at a check point looking quite lost. A bit more of a look around and Wee Wee was off and racing again. Maybe we should train Dasy to be a bloodhound and ‘scent’ her to the Hare each week – that would stop any worries at any check points in the future. Although, that check did do what it was intended to do, it slowed the pack down and let the back of the pack, aka Golden Girl, catch up. The whole trail was basically a flat run, with the only ‘up’ being the up Murray Street bit near the run’s conclusion. We had roads, we had a railway crossing, we had paths, we had an underpass, one of us had a river, we had dirt, and we all had fun. We also had a bit of time to wonder what the two blokes were up to near the levee bank. Once she got her act together and had changed into the appropriate clothing, Mrs Slocum decided to try reverse hashing. She started from Home and met up with Hurley Burley and Dasy to finish the run with them. Returning Hashers were able to take advantage of 2Cracks pool, and it was a delightful evening as we sat around and indulged in beer and bubbly. Hearty congratulations again to 2Cracks for the On Afters, he makes a darn good host for a Hasher. If you notice Mrs Slocum looking a little strained over the next week … it might have something to do with trying to walk thru a doorway without sliding back the screen door first. I don’t think any of us realised, until Mrs Slocum’s demonstration, just how good a rebound screen doors could provide. Next time we’ll make her drink more. It was good to see HPM back on a run, and we are really looking forward to Misfit getting back amongst it next week.Hash No: 64 Date: 9th September 2006 Location: Courthouse Hotel car park Hare: Wee Wee In Attendance: Wee², Nutz, Golden Girl, Hurley Burley, Slocom We all ended up in Court The Hash run looked promising this week starting from the Courthouse Hotel carpark, many thinking we’d just run inside and start the down downs. Unfortunately Wee Wee, our hare, had other ideas. The excitement really all started when Hurley Burley and 2Cracks entered the carpark in utter astonishment to see Slocom grinning broadly and very proud of herself because she was the second arrival and 5 minutes early. There were some very bold claims that this was the start of a new era of early arrivals. Primarily because the whole hash was leaving 2Cracks’s last week without her. Time will tell the validity of Slocom’s bold claim. At the chalk talk Wee Wee lamented the rain, as he had attempted to set the trail three time during the day but was pushed back indoors. In the end he gave us the instructions that the trail was on blue chalk and flour (if he felt like it) with lots of checks in some attempt to keep the pack off his tail as he’d have to set it live. The trail would go anywhere, with the circle at his house. (We then had some idea of where we would finish). With no Wee Wee in sight and 10 minutes past the hour, NN Dasy, Hurley Burley, 2Cracks, Slocom and Nutz set off in the direction of Peel Street. Unfortunately Golden Girl had contracted something horrific, maybe from last weeks run through the shiggy in the Mountains of East Tamworth and was a No/Yes for this weeks run. Miraculously Wee Wee had us confused at the first check, and it took us a few minutes to find our way across Peel Street and right towards Bourke Street with 2Cracks leading the charge, closely followed by our walkers for the day Nutz and Slocom. Trailing the pack at this stage were Hurley Burley and NN Dasy. The trail took us across to the cycle path on the levee and through about three checks that went straight ahead, until we reached the Salvation Army thrift shop where Hurley Burley found the trail but had some behavioural issues with cars, NN Dasy and crossing the road. We were looking forward to spending some quality time at the thrift shop, however the trail headed up the hill, (like all good hash runs), across a park on flour which 2Cracks managed to miss but sprinted to catch up and take the lead again. From this point on we thought the trail was headed back to the Hare’s House although we were redirected back towards town, across the railway at Bourke St then back across the railway again on the footbridge and this time heading On Home. 2Cracks was first to arrive back at the Hare’s House. There he was met by Golden Girl elegantly sipping bubbly and Wee Wee greedily gulping down a beer, having only just arrived himself. Slocom and Nutz arrived as equal last. Slocom enthusiastically accepted a large cup of bubbly on her entrance and demanding more after strenuously picking Nutz’s mandarins, stating “it’s the only grog I really like the taste of”. Maybe a Saturday evening AA meeting may be more appropriate social event for some. From the circle 2Cracks, Slocom, Hurley Burley and NN Dasy strode down to the Courthouse for more on afters and dinner. Wee and Nutz joined Golden Girl in the silver chariot as a means of transportation down the hill. 2Cracks insisted that running tights were not acceptable in the pub and changed into jeans in the carpark while holding onto NN Dasy. You can picture it can’t you…2Cracks balancing on one leg, being pulled and jumped on by a boisterous hash hound. Ah the joys!! Dinner was served promptly after 6 by the kind staff of the Hotel. Jolly fine meals at jolly good prices. During the final stages of dinner Wee Wee noticed 2Cracks breaking into a cold sweat, unaware of the impending axe wielding company about to join the hash table. On the arrival of Hurley Burley’s dad (who had been at a wood chopping competition) Hurley Burley produced a triple rum n ginger beer. 2Cracks, wishing it was for him, became even more nervous when it was handed straight to the axeman. The evening came to a close as the hash’s fun was boisterously overpowered by the Swany’s (Tamworth AFL team) who obviously had a good win. Upon reflection some of those AFL players would make great hashers…they like a bit of sport, a lot of drink, and don’t mind wearing sparkly red wigs.Hash No: 63 Date: 2nd September 2006 Location: 16 Chelmsford Street
Hare: Two Cracks or is it 2 Cracks or perhaps even Crack Crack In Attendance: Wee², Nutz, Golden Girl, Hurley Burley, Slocum, Piss Top and NN Dave The Hashing God’s had blessed us with good hashing weather, not too hot, not too cold and a cool breeze on the back to help when going up hills. The expectant hashers, visiting hasher from Armidale and virgin hasher had gathered out the front of 2 cracks house for the virgin hares chalk talk which was short but to the point….”It’s on chalk and in the gutters, until your on flour with only a few checks”. All sounds so simple, so with a piece of plasterboard to help the walkers the FRB’s rushed off up Carmichael Avenue then left up hill again to the first check which headed up to Bushland Avenue and into the woods with a short burst of shaggy before coming into a cul de sac and left up the hill (2 cracks understands that hares set trail that always goes up hill rather than down). So back to the story….Up, Up and hang on while I catch my breath…..Up. Piss top by this stage had already taken his top off and was trying to attract the attention of the lady hashers with his sweaty body (this is normal practice for him apparently). With this he obviously felt lighter and takes the front from Wee Wee who like all good horns blows his hardest trying to find at least one note in his faulty instrument. The calling was exceptional this week from TH3 with whistles, shouts of On On, flour and where the bloody hell are we going. The pack was well balanced with Piss Top, Hurley and Wee Wee taking on the FRB responsibilities (it’s not a race you know). May contain traces of Nutz and Mrs. Slocum or how she would prefer to be called Slowcom looking after the middle of the pack. That only left Miss determination her self, Golden Girl (no shortcutting and I will finish no matter what) and NN Dave who does look like a good hasher bringing up the rear. The trail eventually leveled out and headed left across the hill (well felt more like a mountain) and to everyone’s excitement another check. Wee Wee decided that the trail must go down so headed down towards the scout hut only to find the third marker all too elusive when Hurley Burley shouted OnOn and back up the Mountain (really big hill) we panted. From this point on Hurley Burley had a good lead from Piss Top and Wee Wee and was too hard to catch. The trail headed down towards Carthage Street and “ON HOME” was all too soon. It had been an excellent virgin hare with all the correct ingredients although beware as the next run this hare sets could be a ball breaker. 2 Cracks did not expect the FRB’s back so soon and was only half way through preparing his banquet of culinary delights (the food was too good for hashers). Down Downs:The Virgin Hare – 2 Cracks The Virgin Hasher – NN Dave Others – Nutz (losing husbands sunnies on the run, only to be found by NN Dave) On On and what a good hash!

Hare: Commando Williams (The N. American Williams) In Attendance: Wee², Nutz, 2 Cracks, NN Michael, Golden Girl, Puddles, Hot Cheeks, BamBam The weather was good all day, until that is, Saturday afternoon at 4pm which as we all know is the sacred time for hashers to take centre stage and maraud around the hills and parks of Tamworth. On arrival at the top of Tamworth, 2 Cracks was on a photo shoot with our new Hash Flash Golden Girl (GG was trying to work out why he was named 2 Cracks). The Hare arrived and instructed the small pack that it was another A to B run (for Misfit that means that the run starts at point A and ends at point B, so it is not a good idea to collect your husband from point A). This was good news as we had between us worked out that if point A is at the top of the hill then point B must be down hill and therefore easier on the legs. As we headed off the sun vanished and the rain started, we had not lost sight of the start and we were already lost so we headed back to ask the hare for directions (this must be another Shoey down down). The trail headed up rather than down as previously anticipated with 2 cracks eventually finding the trail and shout “this way”, must teach him the On On shout. Once we made it to the top NN Michael and 2 Cracks did all of the front running and found the true trail down towards the Marsupial Park and then down towards Brisbane Street. The trail then ventured into the Botanical Gardens and out near the TAFE before cruely climbing back up to the Weswal Gallery and then on home to Anzac Park for the circle.

Do-re-me Dough, the stuff, that buys me beer, But we have more Hash hits to look forward to over the coming weeks, with such well known melodies as: Bagpipe Song Date: 15th July 2006 Location: A: 65 Darling Street to B: the Home of Mrs. Slocum
Hare: Mrs. Slocum In Attendance: Shoey, Wee², Nutz, Hurley Burley, Mrs.Slocum, NN John (2 Cracks) Saturday afternoon at 4pm after days of rain the Hard Core members of the Tamworth Hash (nothing to do with XXXX video’s) headed off into what seemed like The Maiden of the Mist at Niagara Falls with rain coming towards us faster than we could avoid it. The Virgin Hare had visited Wee² that morning for advise on setting a run based on the current inclement weather………..as usual Wee² under estimated the drive and determination of the Tamworth Hash and mentioned that no one in their right mind would turn up, but he forgot it was the hash and just as well, as Slocum likes walking in the rain with bits of string. The debriefing mentioned that pink ribbon was tied around things but can’t always been seen from the front, this was to be so, so true! The pack consisting of Hurley Burley, NN John, Shoey and Wee² ran down hill wondering what this pink ribbon business was all about. When we actually saw one we all raced up an intersection where after only minutes we all lost the infamous ribbon again. The Hare arrived to our rescue as she drove past in her car and told us we were off trail and that we should head for the TAFE area where the trail started again. This was all too much for Hurley who must have had enough of this rain stuff and headed back for an early shower. The remaining hard core hashers then headed through the Botanical Gardens and down Brisbane street where we lost the trail again, but then found it again on the other side of Anzac Park. We all headed with much enthusiasm “on home” to Slocum’s for Down Downs and other frivolities. Down Downs:The Hare – SlocumNutz – Taking the most direct route from A to B.First & Last – Everyone that finished.Shoey – Introducing new hash songs that had XXXX rated lyrics.Naming – NN John is to be known in hash circles from now on as 2 Cracks (I will let you imagine what his story was).

Hash No: 50Date: 1st April 2006 Location: A – B (Locks Lane to Anzac Park) Hare: Shoey In Attendance: Shoey, Wee Wee, Nutz, Hurley Burley, Ms.Slocum, Misfit, Golden Girl, NN Riley (AKA Bam Bam). Saturday afternoon at 5pm for the last evening run before the clocks change and we are thrown into darkness again. It was a special run as we had, against all the odds made it to run number 50. The magic number that tells everyone that we are not just a fad but a serious hashing group. The other special thing about today is that we all got to dress up for an old bag run (throw some embarrassing clothes into a bag and get someone else to wear them). It was arranged with the usual military precision each bag had a number and a corresponding number was chosen form the hat. We all put on our new clothes and the photo’s were taken with all of us feeling happy with our new outlook except that is for Ms. Slocum who ended up with the bridesmaid dress from hell, kindly donated by Hurley (what are friends for)? The hare headed off and for some strange reason we actually gave him the requested 15 minutes head start, for once the pack did not separate due to the possible embarrassment of being left alone looking like one of Misfits patients. We headed in the direction of Hungary Jacks like a scene from “Forest Gump” when he decided to start running for no particular reason. Ms. Slocum and Hurley bumped into a friend who joined the hash for about 2 minutes before she decide to run in the other direction as fast as possible. This hashing thing must be an acquired taste! The trail headed past the military base and up towards East Tamworth with passing cars giving us what we think was encouragement but could have been anything at that speed. The trail headed past the tennis club and along to Anzac Park which was the finish. Thank you for not taking us through a shopping centre. Pizza Hut was commissioned to provide the food and the down downs followed. Down Downs:Hurley Burley – Acting like a 6 year old and wanting to lift her dress over her head at every chance.Shoey - The hare……..and being American or something like that. OnOn
Date: 9th October 2005 Location: A: Scott Road and Locks Lane B: Campbell Road Hare: Shoey Slut In Attendence: Misfit, Wee Wee, Nutz, Mrs.Slocum, Back Draught
As is usual with Shoey and his military directions for the start of each Hash we all had to find a map of Tamworth with an exact grid reference as we were instructed to meet at S-18. After finding the exact location with global satellite navigation and help from Google Earth we waited for the hare whose 15:00 watch is always a good 00:10 mins late. The beer was cracked open and Back Draught started explaining how he had been dodging the water traffic in Sydney Harbour in his kayak! An assult on Sydney Opera House was dismissed when two suspisious looking suicide plumbers where looking for the plug at the bottom of the harbour. Anyway, after the Hare had finished his beer we where given our final instructions “this won’t be a technical run” was his advise, well we all looked at each other not knowing what a technical run was but decided to let it slip and get back to the story in Sydney Harbour. After the requested 12 minutes head start we headed off at what can only be descibed as a blistering pace, with Nutz and Misfit discussing the pros and cons of child birth and Back Draught telling Mrs Slocum about his other adventures. The walkers went into Auto Pilot and ignored any markings that may or may not be on the pavement infront of them. The Hare took us out onto Goonoo Goonoo road with a series of checks that lead one of the pack (Wee Wee) down side streets then back onto Goonoo Goonoo road where the Auto pilot Hasher were still happily chating away. The trail then lead us down Calala lane for a couple of kms before the Hare must have been feeling guilty for not providing any shiggy and decided that a long cut parrallel to Calala lane through bushes and across water was in order before re apperaring a couple of hundred meters further along Calala lane. The sight of the Calala Inn was like a beer mirage in the desert and it was cruel to take us past and down Campbell Road to another check at Harrier Parade which to any sensible hasher would have been a good spot to end the torture and drink cold beer to our name sake. It turned out to be another dead end and we finally found that the trail ended at the end of Campbell road in an isolated cul-de-sac with a note from the hare to say that this was the finish……………there was no one or beer for that matter about to confirm that it was the finish. When the beer and hare did eventually arrive the hare had forgotten the food, so we all transferred to Mrs. Slocums for hot food and cold beer.

Venue: 3 Banksia close, HPM (hare)
Circle: Met HPMS son Frasier who was kind enough to cook mash for the hash, discused Hurley Burleys impending trip to Greece, Down Downs were eventually had with one highlight being initiating Wee Wees new shoes. After that moved inside and ate while HPM entertained the hash with stories of the Solomon islands independance and the fantastic Sydney Swans. Discussed having some hash erections soon to determine future posts. Also, sending off the cheque this week, for Hash thingy in Bendemeer in October, According to HPM, may get to be banned with botony bay to complete a hash relay team which would be good as they require 14!, we don't have 14 regular hashers, but five paid for the weekend. ANYHOW, we'll get there. Down Downs, First and last Nuts and Hurley, Wee Wee- new shoes, peeing on trail. on on shoey. ================================================ Trash from Saturday September 10th 2005. Venue: Anzac Park, Tamworth. Hare: Misfit et al. Attended by: HPM, Wee Wee, Nuts, Shoey, pseudo attended by ratbag. First observation, the venue, Anzac Park, at 1500 hours, on the most beautiful collander on the top of the kerb, and it's off that-a-way (pointing in a north easterly direction), and shouldn't be more than 5k. So, 20 minutes later, we found a check tanked and profusing the qualities of beer and Total War, mean while Wee2 and Nutz followed the most direct, (dry) route back to Anzac park via Bridge Street. Several mutterings about "5ks my ass" were heard to have been uttered at least once by shoey and other anonymous disgruntled hashers. This hash has a happy ending. There was beer at the end of the rainbow and we all lived happily ever after. nominations for POW:Misfit, for a couple of different things, Next week: the hash is supposed to goto Warialda, Unfortunately it appears there are very few people able to actually make the away trip, so hopefully Anthony will forgive us and we can postpone it to another date, as we are all looking forward to it. On On Shoey. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Trash from Saturday September 3rd 2005.Venue: Back Draught's Cottage in the Hills of Moonbi. Present: Back Draught, Hurley Burley, HPM, Shoey, Nutz, Wee Wee, Leach Blower, Misfit, and NN Penny who we will discuss in detail shortly! True hashers showed up to brave the wet, cold weather. It was Back Draught's virgin haring. Starting out at the top of the hill, down we went (knowing full well that we'd have to ascend again in order to drink). Several runners were nursing heavy heads after a big night Friday. And most had consumed at least one beer before the start. Down the road, around the corner, across another road, checks, checks, checks. Through a paddock, over a bridge where the trail was lost for a short time. Up front were Nutz and Wee Wee, followed by Misfit, Leach Blower, and Shoey. At this point Misfit had to pee, so she took off to the nearest public loo (rather than get lost once again looking for a safe place to pee on trail). Nutz found the true trail and they raced off. Meanwhile NN Penny was patiently waiting for someone, anyone to show up at the Moonbi Store, because she deleted the updated email with the venue details!!!! Finally as she was about to call it a night, she spied the Hare, then found HPM and Hurley Burley walking with Solomon (the Hash Hound). Misfit did a shortcut (sort of) and found the rest of the pack as they were heading back up the hill. Shoey and Leach Blower were looking somewhat green by this stage (did I mention they had a big night???). Nutz as always looks totally composed and never short of breath! Back at the circle it was an exciting time as NN Penny was onto her third run, therefore it was Naming Day! After she told us a wonderful story about her sister (heck, we can name her sister now!), we were left to ponder. After many (confusing) moments, and a last minute change of name she was awarded the name of Mrs Slocom. As this was not the first time she has been late to a hash apparently, the name was going to be Slow Cummer, but at the 11th hour it was changed to that of that dear old lady in that TV show 'Are you being Served' (remember that show?). Hopefully we can all remember her name now!
