RUN REPORT by Afterbirth
The pack gathered at the Rotunda on Observatory Hill and once we’ve cleared out the last walking tour we set off into Kent street and on down the steps into Barangaroo to the first of 14 vivid displays. The object of the run being to answer questions about each exhibition to win a prize. The first stage was to work their way through 10 exhibitions in Barangaroo, viewing and understanding what they were about and answering the questions on the Trivia sheet. The expectation was that because it was so crowded there would not be much running, giving them plenty of time to gather info on each one. As expected Barangaroo was crowded certain parts were closed forcing them sometimes to go back on themselves due to barriers on the steps.
Some of the pack were a little bit better than others at answering the questions and some decided they were going to carry on running anyway. Bejesus & Venerable’s to name a couple.
From there they headed out of Barangaroo and down along Hickson St, a fairly long run where there were no exhibits till they got underneath the bridge and were able to view the last few which were ; SWEET DREAMS On the Bridge pylon, ENDING a swirling Blue light under the bridge, COLOUR THE CITY on the clocktower by the international terminal & finally BLOOM in the Argyle tunnel covered in flowers and back up to the Pergola on Observatory Hill.
By that time Bede had arrived back up and helped me bring up the bucket so that we could enjoy the view from Pergola.
Down downs were given out for various people. Bejesus did the run report and gave me a 9.99 score Hey! Run of the Year material Tripod got one for a guest appearances and Mongrel & Skinhead who were late , plus others I cannot remember .
But I do know no we lost Curtsinger who did not to turn up, at this point in time I’m not sure what happened to him. But hopefully he’s all good.
From there we headed to the Captain Cook hotel and ordered drinks and food. Tripod was not happy with his Spanish omelette but you cannot please all of the people. Then once everyone had their food I arranged to do the trivia and while a number of people did quite well in the questions, there were some silly guesses and some who answered a number of questions correctly like Mongrel & Skinhead, Bejesus, Landro, and lady Di. In the end the best was. Frankly so she got the prize. A bottle of Champers
All in all, a good but different night and I think everybody had a lot of fun.
