RUN NO. 2359
DATE: 5 NOVEMBER 2013
SITE: LOWER DIPLO
HARES: TRAILBLAZER/STICKY RICE/GLAMOUR
FRONT HORN: MRS PINGU BACK HORN: ALICE IN WONDERLAND
We gathered at lower diplo ready to set
off at 5.15, after a lovely day off due to the public holiday.
Haven’t been to lower diplo for a while so it was a nice change
(except for the amount of rubbish that people had dumped around the
area – very disappointing
). However all was forgiven when none other than our dearly beloved
Mad Marg turned up for a reunion hash – so nice to catch up with
old friends! Just to make it even more special, Alison was selling
off various Xmas fete yummies in time to be eaten and then
re-purchased before Christmas.
The trail had an awesomely steep hill
that seemed to be vertical in places! However the views at the top
were worth the scramble. We found out later that the recee took 1 and
a ½ hours with two kids (ages 6 and 7) so congratulations to them!
The front horn was Mrs Pingu while the back horn was taken by Alice
in Wonderland. The first check (in some slippery when wet places)
was found by Dr Dolittle, while Ikea and Speedy Gonzales found the
second. Sid was particularly pleased with her pace on the night
(until she found out that everyone she caught up to was sick!) Sorry
to burst that bubble!
The on on was really well attended
(it’s usually much harder to get people to change locations after
the run – lots of people head for home instead – but tonight
everyone was in fine form). They must have heard rumours of previous
fabulous spreads put on by our glorious Glamour (who, by the way, was
celebrating her 1150
th run and her 60
th wedding
anniversary!) Fantastic achievements! My favourite quote had to be,
“As you get older, your price goes down” when Glamour was
describing her gifts.
The on on started with first time
guests; Lee from the loan service and Sarah who was here on a flying
10 day visit. We also welcomed two new hashers into the fold; A big
‘welcome, welcome, welcome’ to Alzbeta and Chihiro. (Don’t
forget to study for the test!) Then it was time for the birthdays –
Hotlips, Bunny Girl, Dr Dolittle, Sticky Rice and Trailblazer all
managed to stand up in time but poor old Duchess of Cambridge was
discombobulated by the excitement and noise and totally missed her
chance to get a down down – at least she’s guaranteed to get one
next week as she’s a hare!
Anyway, after that there were a lot of
announcements – far too many to remember them all! Finally it was
time for the hashit – Dizzy was pleased to get rid of it so
quickly. Bunny Girl was the lucky recipient as she had a man on the
hash (said man was happy to pose for photographic evidence of crime –
leading this writer to believe he was quite happy to set her up!)
Don’t worry Bunny Girl – you can get your own back at kid’s
hash ;-)
Next comes the highlight of the night –
another fabulous feast put on by Glamour – divine! Then there was
time for hash shop sales (very profitable night – as long as
everyone brings their money next week!), interesting conversations
and a few liquid refreshments. Wonderful night – don’t forget to
come next week to Lucky Gardens for another evening of fun and
frolics in the Kingdom of Unexpected Treasures! on on
