RUN REPORT by Afterbirth

On a supposedly rainy day in January. I set off to set the run on what turned out to be a beautiful day with the help of Outer, who kindly offered to help me. We met at the Aurora pub & split up the run. Outer doing the first part &the walkers and I the runners section.

So, armed with chalk and maps, we set off in opposite directions. And pretty much completed the run within an hour & a half, meeting up back at the pub. Had a couple of beers while we waited for the pack to turn up. One concern we had was parking for. Laundromat & the bucket so we endeavoured to reserve places with E bikes which worked to a degree except people keep coming and taking the base. 

Having done a quick check at the Aurora pub to make sure they had our bookings in place; we found out they hadn't. So, we made sure that they had got our special location ready for us at 8:00, which they did.

Eventually the pack gathered at the back of Central Station on the corner of Elizabeth & Randall St. About 25 people turned up and they set off walking and running. While. Outer and I guarded the bucket. About an hour later, the first runners started coming back followed closely by the walkers.

Plus, a number of hashers turned up. directly to the bucket, Cultured, Bristle & Bren Gun. Bristle having missed the run drinking in the wrong Pub. 

After some socialising around a bucket, Mongrel started the circle. Giving. I and. Outer down downs as joint hares. After run reports by Mother for the Walkers run. Where his only comment was “did you see the tallest wooden building in the world?” Nobody had, but we let that one pass, and he gave us a score of. 9.1. He'll do. Gave the run report. and also gave us a great score of 9.9 ( I believe). So, We drank our down downs quite happy with the results. It seemed that everyone thought the run was pretty well marked and pretty good for a run through the centre of the city.

Also, a very rare an unusual event occurred. Mongrel. Instigating the naming of a new hash member under the age of 40. Unbelievable what's happening to the hash. The young lady is now known by the hash name of Swifty and is a very welcome addition to the group. Also given down downs that evening were Virgin hashes. Liz and Steve, who joined us for the first time. Plus, sometime visitors. Inner and Mrs AfterBirth were also given down downs for guest appearances at the run. 

I can't think. Of any other. Announcements except Bristle announced. Top shelf whiskey at the pub for $11.00 a shot. So, on that note, we all headed across the road to the pub.

$18.00 burgers were the special, but people ordered quite a wide range of. meals. In general, didn't hear any complaints, food came fast. Pub was comfortable and they provided a good area for the pack. All in All, a good venue , one I think we would probably go back to in the future.

Not a bad run even if I say so myself.
