For years, I have bored my wife about stories and funny incidents that took place at GCH3 lunches! Today I took her to the CGH3 Luncheon to see for herself.

Lost for words on this one

She was amazed at what she saw.

Friendship, laughter, fine food, wine and refreshing ales. “What more could a girl ask for was her response”.

On the way home my wife asked  me to pass on her thanks to the Hierarchy of the GCH3 for a fantasic day out.

The only scary bit  was when, on the way home, she asked me if she could go to the next GCH3 Lunch.

I did reply but it fell on deaf eyes as my loving partner had fallen asleep.

Run 2139…KB & Sir Botcho

Runners: 35…………………………………………..
Run Pictures……………………………………..
This was a warm night even after it rained. If it had not stopped, it could put a bit of a damper on tonight’s run.
Runners were arriving with their Halloween customs in hand.
After a shortened run, a quick and discrete beer, it was off to a secret destination for another drink. Then from there, to a secrete restaurant dinner in Southport.

Our GM Weekly said very few words this evening.
There was a down for Sir Botcho, our hare. The returning and visiting runners will be honored with a down down next week.

After a the quick beer at a local hotel, the ghastly and terrifying troop of hash members struck fear in the streets with their Halloween customs. The patrons in the restaurant certainly turned their heads in surprise.

The night passed quickly with lots of chatter and joviality.

That’s all folks,

Have a fruitful week and phone a fellow hasher. Are you OK mate?

ON ON. Sec.

Run 2138…Shat & Kwakka

Date: 22nd October  2018……………………..
Location:Chevron Island ……………………….
Runners: 40…………………………………………..
Run Pictures……………………………………..

Chevron Island. Shat Residence.

This was a perfect evening for a run. Shat’s residence or double garage was well lit and had plenty of room to accommodate all hash runners.

The GM Weekly called together the runners, and tonight’s run explained to them. S-Bends, the booze master advised that the beers would be one Dollar. Wine and other drinks remained the usual price. This brought cheer to all the runners.

Miss Carriage arrives late with his newly acquired stainless steel wire brace, as he broke one of his fingers. That cow that cow kicked him a few months ago, has not forgiven him. It is no good pointing fingers at any one. He later explained that he accidently fell for her. (He has to be more cow full in the future.) But in good sprit as always, he sprinted away to catch up to the other runners.

The nosh was excellent and was prepared by Botcho, Black Stump and S-Bends. The grilled salmon was to die for. Plenty of fresh salads complemented the fish dish. The dessert was vanilla ice cream with a generous helping of sticky date pudding. If you were not at this hash run, you missed a great nosh.

8:45pm.  Our GM Weekly disguised as Winton Churchill opened the circle. He had a whinge about his cigar that went missing again. He turned to Ball Point to enquire if he helped himself to it once again!     Ball Point always gets it in the neck. Wonder why?

Returning runners.    Kwakka, Slab, Miss Carriage, Shat, Poxy, Hot Dick, Prince Valliant.  Keith and Arthur.   A cheerful down down was ordered for them all.

Hare.  This was Shat and a jolly down down was awarded to him for his good efforts.

Some how on the run Sir Prince and Shat could not solve how to prise open a pole fence. Aussie came along and saved the night for all to get through.

Run report.   This was delivered, short and sweet, by Foxtrot Oscar.   “It was a good run”.

Miss Carriage was called into the circle and he explained what misadventure took place to break his finger.

We were informed that Rock Hard was out of hospital after his treatment and was recovering well. He liked to thank all his hash mates for all their communications with him.  Phone a friend and ask. Are you OK mate?

Ice Man joked about one of the hash fellows whom had the same name, that of a well-known criminal.

Brewtus gave the down down to Peter.

The RA told a joke of a person that he had so much sex that he died from over indulgence.

Shat calls on Hard On to tell a story about a bottle of wine that a lady from Costa Dora Restaurant gave him. This half finished bottle of red wine was placed into his backpack when he was offered a lift home. The cork came out and the red wine leaked out all over the seats and floor carpets. A big clean up had to be done. Not only the wine was red that day.

Bruce was called to entre the circle and a down down was awarded to him for past mishaps.

The GM was showered with gifts. A Swiss Army Knife was presented by Shat. Kawaka followed up by presenting a cap that had built- in sunglasses. Magician presented a black skullcap; it doubled up to be used as a scarf and a bandanna.  The GM will look good as a hit man.

POW.  Fanny Charmer wanted to present this to Bren Gun. A few weeks back while Shat was away, he did not allow the hash runners to raid Shat’s wine cellar.

After some debate, the POW was presented to Sweat Hog, as he will be away in a few weeks time.

Sweat Hog told a joke about why Hungry Jacks is loosing customers.

Booze Master report.    Reminder about Friday’s luncheon.

Jig Saw is progressing well and now is out of hospital. All hash mates wish him and his family well. Give him a ring.    Are you OK mate?

Next weeks run. Botcho reminds runners that it is Halloween night and to be dressed for it.

There was abuse and nuisance toward the GM. Missing Link was pulled into the circle for his bad behavior and took a down down.

Quote of the Week.  Winston Churchill.   “However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results”.

9:25pm. Circle closed by Foxtrot Oscar.

Run 2137…Two Dogs

Date: 15 th October  2018……………………..
Location:Main Beach …………………………….
Runners: 24…………………………………………..
Run Pictures……………………………………..

his run was during the uncertain conditions of the incumbent conditions of a second week wet period with high winds.

But the show had to go on. After all this is the hash motto. “On On”.

 

GM Weekly gathered the wind blown runners together after a rather good run of the circuit, on some of the Gold Coast 600 car race way.

 

Returning runners.  This was Truckie and Elvis.

 

The hare was Sir Two Dogs and S- Bends was our favorite booze master.

The RA was Sweat Hog.  He told a few laughable jokes.

 

Run / Walk report.  Given by Brewtus. He was pleased to report that it was a good run and it was well marked.

Food Report.  For the nights run, the Southport Surf Club supplied the meals. The meals arrived quickly and piping hot. This was an excellent alternative venue and arrangement to stay out of the wet and wild weather.

 

Prick of the week.   Some runs back, this was unceremoniously presented to Wrong Way.

Was this POW going to Hal Al orFanny Charmer?

Fanny Charmer some time ago advocated that it was a great tradition to keep this in the hash meetings. So guess who received this traditional phallus symbol.

 

Quote of the evening.  Our Lady Helen, also known as Mrs. Sir Black Stump. After completion of a racecar meeting by him, quoted this.

 

“He (Black Stump) enjoys life. He certainly enjoys his life.”

We can take a message from his Lady and her adventurous Gentleman.

 

Next weeks run.  This will be arranged by Shat and will be advised of the venue during the week.

 

A gentle reminder about the midday luncheon at Cav’s Steak House on the 26th October 2018.  Please phone your mates and remind them. Are you OK MATE?

 

End of Circle.  Foxtrot Oscar closed the meeting.

On On. Scribe.      Many thanks go to the press-ganged scribes over the last 3 weeks.
