– 22nd June 2026
Set in Jolimont on a fine winter evening following the Winter Solstice with a moderate turnout of about 25 hashmen.
The run with 8 runners and 1 dog, started clockwise through Mabel Talbot Park before circling through the trendy Subiaco Common development then via several underpasses including under Hay Street, and twice under the railway line through Daglish (see map in photos). Recorded at 7.7km in 1hr 11mins or 8.8km for front runners APITW and Soft Rock.
Not to be outdone by last week’s hares Grizzly preceded the circle with hors d’oeuvres of Pork Dumplings and Whiskey!
At the circle GM Pitt called up Skippy (returnee (and as of this solstice a newly joined member)); Chunder (54 year anniversary); Polly (birthday). RA Moses called up himself and Colonel (acknowledging Geelong’s defeat to the Dockers). Polly told the Joke about a student outwitting his professor to get an A. Bushie noted several irregularities in Grizzly’s run setting – who need signs? Action gave the run a mostly favourable run assessment… and the RA awarded the run a magnificent score of 9.9.
Ramrod presented the raffle boot to Phantom who drew the winning ticket, won by Elbows (not present) so the card drawn by Polly – the Queen of Hearts.
Dinner was an excellent sweet and sour pork with fried rice, after dumpling starters no doubt with the assistance of Mrs Grizzly, who surely has earned a Gordon Blue nomination!
Where else would you be on a Monday?
