Slug set the run from near his home in Miami. Hashers gathered at the shelter at the end of Santa Monica Road where it joins Marine Parade. There was a shelter with two tables and benches, and lights. One table was occupied by a family, so we hoped they would finish a leave soon. As it was a public holiday, the run started at 5:00 pm, no need for torches tonight. The hare gathered everyone and gave instructions to the runners and walkers, saying it was a short run. I set off with a small group of walkers south along the concrete footpath alongside the beach. We went up the stairs near the Lores Bonney Lookout, then continued south past North Burleigh Surf Club. After about 20 minutes we turned around and retraced our steps.
Back at the shelter, Slug had put dips, crackers and tacos on the tables. After a beer or two, he started serving out the main course of Bolognese, noodles and grated cheese. This was followed by sticky date pudding with ice cream and caramel sauce. Did Slug really prepare this? Pussy’s sticky date pudding was mentioned several times.
GM called the hare into the circle. Caustic and Truckie commented on the sticky date. Prince said the Bolognese was better than Blackies. Bent Banana said the trail was well marked, but could have had more checks. It was longer than a short run, but it was a good run. Nasty was called in as helper on his bike as a stand in for the hare. He and Slug had a drink, note, of sorts, from Weekly.
Caustic commented on Weekly’s fucked knees.
Fuller was asked about the drones, but they have been put away. Danger of them being shot down. Caustic gave a note.
Visitor was Mister D, brought by Bent Banana. BB gave a note.
Circumference gave a report on the Blue Moon hash over the weekend orgainsed by Ball Point. There was some confusion about which pony club was the meeting point, as some mixed hashers went to the wrong place. Some thought it was an April Fool prank.
Caustic announced the Comm Games hash event and encouraged hashers to attend for $45. About 60 were registered, but a distinct lack of GCH3 hashers.
Prince announced that Miscarriage was going to Las Vegas for 2 weeks.
RA called for stories. Prince told of Miscarriage and wife going to Prince’s house, and when leaving, stepped in dog shit. It was all over the car pedals and carpets, and it took Miscarriage weeks to get it cleaned up.
RA called Blackie in for the huge hole in his shorts.
Prince had another story about Miscarriage and a dog in Melbourne and taking a dog home after an operation before it was fully recovered. The dog woke up and sprayed shit all over the car and Miscarriage. Jigsaw gave a note.
GM called Jigsaw for 300 runs, cap to come, and Circumference for 800 runs. Botcho gave a note.
Prince called end of circle.
Three more hashes to AGPU, who will get the quill?

We all knew it was going to be an auspicious occasion when we arrived to see the marquee set up with a long table and rows of chairs. Especially seeing Ferrett in his formal attire and top hat. The trailer was set up at the southern end of the car park at the Don McSween Park in Miami, just under the cliffs of the Lores Bonney Lookout. A sea breeze was keeping the temperature balmy, not too hot, in fact it could get cooler later.
At 6:15 the hare gathered everyone and gave run instructions. Walkers were told they could go south as far as they wanted and turn back. We set off along the Gold Coast Oceanway footpath to the steps up towards the Lores Bonney Lookout. A few hashers were already panting by the time they got to the bottom of the steps, and took one look up the steep steps, shook their heads and turned back, At the top of the steps were arrows pointing northwest, but I noticed almost every hasher was heading south down the grassy slopes towards North Burleigh. We continued along the concrete track, past North Burleigh Surf Club, and continued on the track for another ten minutes before turning back. Steps back down were certainly easier. The was a guy at the bottom with a large dog waiting for everyone to come down, however, there was a long stream of traffic, not only hashers, so he would be waiting a long time.
The hare was busy at a large pot, stirring the Minestrone soup, hashers came up to get served, added some grated cheese, and took a slice or two of garlic bread. Later the hare was rolling homemade burgers and placing them on the BBQ. With the burgers, the burger roll, pineapple slices, salad, cheese slices tomato, beetroot, the works. This was followed by fruit cake with sliced bananas in custard. Well done Ferrett.
After the tent, tables and chairs were put away, the GM call the circle.
Sir Rabbit played an entrance tribute song, Ferrett was called into the circle. GM was dressed in his high priest robes with a long sword in hand. GM called in all the Sirs to form a circle honour guard. Sirs Two Dogs, Prince Valiant, Slab, Botcho, Blackie. Each Sir said a few words about Ferrett. Ferrett then got down on one knee and was knighted as Sir Ferrett. Sir Prince, who was the first Sir, gave a note. Sir Ferrett was given a special goblet and a jacket and got a second down down. Josephine, who is next in line to be a Sir, gave a note.
Caustic was brought in for dobbing those with hats on in the circle, and got a down down, Truckie gave a note.
Croc and Rock Hard were welcomed, good to see them both, and hope we will see more of them. Poxy gave a note.
Caustic said a few words, inviting hashers to attend the Commonwealth Games hash at reduced prices.
Visitor was Bunker, Caustic have a note.
Returning runners were Ferrett and Swindler, Ice Man gave a note.
POW was Prince. He brought out a few contenders.
Prince noted one year since the passing of Moonbeams, RIP.
RA stepped in and called Fanny for being rude. He said a few jokes, and asked in anyone had charges.
Miscarriage called out Prince and Hard On for being engineers and citing the collapse of the new bridge in Florida killing several people.
Josephine called out the only culprit who brought crownies last week, and left the bottle tops in the money bucket. Ball Point got a down down.
Rug called in Sir Ferrett, who was away last week, and presented him with the Golf Day trophy. Truckie gave a note.
There were a few more jokes before GM called on Sir Ferrett to end of circle.

Hashers gathered at Cascade Gardens. Truckie wasn’t there, but he left the trailer just in case. There were enough benches, tables, lights, and shelter, so the trailer or its contents were not used. There was lighting, there were water taps, there was a BBQ. STD started agitating for run instructions five minutes before start time. Finally at 6:15 precisely, Nasty showed us what a false trail marking looked like. I don’t think many hashers had ever seen one before. Then the hare set the runners off in a south westerly direction. Walkers started going with the runners until the frantic hare called them back. Nasty set the walkers off in a south-easterly direction, south along the highway. Trail went west at the north end of the Convention Centre, then south at the western edge, through what could have been a construction site. A security guard accosted us half way down the western side and said we were not allowed in that area. Someone told him that we were the last through, but we didn’t know that runners would be going through there a bit later and were turned back.
There were arrows, and the few walking stragglers went up the curved elevated walkway to the Casino, missing the check back as it was near a bright upward-beaming light on the floor of the walkway. Seeing no marking at the Casino doors (Nasty wouldn’t take us in there, would he?) or down the set of stairs, we decided to turn back to the last known marks. Almost at the end of the walkway, we saw the check back and followed trail back to the check. Trail continued around the south and up the east side of the Convention Centre then on home to a few beers. Probably about 3 km including the excursion to the Casino.
Nasty had organised Uber Eats to collect food from his house and bring it to the Park. Still hot. He started with meat pies. Then came rice and a choice of hot or not so hot chicken curry. Dessert was ice cream cheese cake.
GM called the circle. Immediately called Shat out for being disrespectful to the GM. Ball Point gave a note.
Next was the hare, Nasty. Fanny gave a run report saying it was virgin territory, but runners were tossed out of the Convention Centre construction area. Someone said there was not enough chicken, Nasty said he bought 5 kgs. Brewtus said it was the first time he had seconds of everything. Magician gave a note.
Returning runners were Magician who had stayed in a tiny room near St Moritz. Slab who was on a USA ski tour and Now Loved who was in Japan. Two Dogs stepped in with a gift for the GM he forgot from last week. Magician gave the GM a picture of the current committee as super heroes. S-Bends gave a note.
Ball Point was called in for dobbing two of the returning runners for wearing a hat in the circle. Fanny gave a note.
Prince announced that he had received $10 from Miscarriage for winning a bet that Miscarriage would not be in his new house on the hill by end February.
Prince also said he was told that the train to the Friday lunch at Beenleigh was at 11:59 instead of 11:15, which made him late. Prince got a down down, Bent Banana gave a note.
GM asked Nasty if he had requested the trailer, NO, no need as the park had lights, benches and tables and BBQ.
RA called Brewtus in for being away to a Mossman family reunion. Blackie for something, and Missing Link for using nuts in last weeks meal that were hard enough to break teeth. STD gave a note.
Shat got his embroidered cap for getting to 300 runs. Hard On gave a note.
GM called in Weekly to present the recovered (at great expense) the Golf Day trophy to the four winners, Ferrett, Bent Banana, Flasher and Rug. Each would keep it for three months, Rug took it away.
POW Shat stepped in and called Circumference for a big win at the races. He refused to say how much. Also called in was Prince for making farting noises to clear passengers away from a seating area on the train back to Gold Coast on Friday. Prince got the Prick of the Week.
Brewtus called end of circle.
