RUN NO. 2537 LUCKY GARDENS 11APR17

RUN NO. 2537
DATE: 11 APR 2017
SITE: LUCKEN GARDENS - TAMIL NEW YEAR
HARES: Led Astray, Pedigree Pup, Rush Hour, Siaw Yan

It was hot and sticky as lots of hens gathered at lucky gardens and that was before we even set off into the jungle. With so many front runners injured there was a moment where it looked like there would be no front horn until Footloose stepped up to the job. With Alice in Wonderland ready as back horn we were off.

We started off up through the quarry and that way into the jungle which was a nice change. The first check proved tricky but was eventually found by Sambuca. There was an optional (that maybe wasn’t supposed to be optional) loop to increase the distance by a good 1.5-2km with two further checks and well done to all who did that.

Back at Pedigree Pup’s pad a delicious punch awaited us to bring in Tamil New Year and some very beautiful saris started appearing as well as a bindi for everyone which Survivor aptly applied to all our foreheads.

We welcomed a new member, Lei, who has been in Brunei for a long time and is now ready to hash! Welcome Lei. A delicious array of curries with rice, Chappatis and papadums then followed. A truly delicious treat.

Next week is the annual British run! The run is at Mentiri waterfalls and the shout up and celebrations will be at Rachel Fielding’s house.

There’s so much to celebrate; St. George’s day, HRH the Queen’s birthday and her Sapphire Jubilee! Queen Elizabeth II is the first ever British Monarch to reach 65 years on the throne. She overtook Queen Victoria’s (her great great grandmother) record reign of nearly 64 years back in 2015 and on 6th February completed her 65th year as a reigning monarch. Remarkable! We’ll have a delicious well known British aperitif for everyone to enjoy followed by a delectable High Tea and some of the high quality, well-rehearsed entertainment you have come to expect from the Ladies Hash :-D Please wear anything Union Jack themed you may have, or blue, white and red for the OnOn.

Bring swimmers if you fancy a dip and do bring a chair. There will be an exciting photo opportunity with a VVVIP too, so make sure you set your hair and wear your pearls. It’s not one to miss! Tally-ho!

NEXT RUN: MENTERI WATERFALLS
BRING A CHAIR TO THE ONON
HARES: BRITISH LADIES
