UP AND CUMMING

  • 6 July 2026 | Combined Clubs Charity Run @ RYCT
  • 2-4 April 2027 | Aussie Nash Hash 2027 | Adelaide

The venue for H5’s first run following the AGPU was the Maypole Hotel with Growler being the hare. In general, the various hash clubs have a chequered history with this venue, having been banned on a couple of occasions. Now Growler had managed to negotiate a return to the Maypole with amazing diplomacy (which was really “Don’t mention the past”). There is certainly a place for Growler to undertake negotiations between Trumpy and Iran if she so desired given these skills. She also did well to conserve energy by using exactly the same trail on two occasions in the last 5 days!

This gave a number of the 35 odd hashers a distinct advantage as they also attended that other clubs’ run on the previous Thursday night. The trail set off down Risdon Road with runners brought back to the pack with a FT on Risdon Road. The climb up Swanston Street hill certainly separated the pack. A FT along Midwood Street brought the runners, including Can’t Stop, Everready, Prawn Star, and Pole Dancer, back to trail on Tower Road. Crossing Albert Road into Bowen Road the trail turned into Hopkins Street and proceeded into Lower Lutana via the Brooker overpass. Winding into Lennox Avenue and hence onto the newly formed walking path along the waterway of Newtown Bay. This allowed Jim Beam’s wind-up dog, Coco, to run free and hence give JB’s arm a rest.

Trail again crossed the Brooker Highway into Risdon Road. A long FT down Queens Way adjacent to the soccer grounds meant a return to trail across the cycleway. Spoof appeared out of the darkness, having the aforementioned trail knowledge. Proceeding into Park Street the backmarkers, Clearfell, Didn’t Do It, and JB, were joined by Bees Dick, just catching up after chasing his car keys left on the bus to the Eastern Shore. Thrillseeker, another late starter, was nowhere to be seen.

Growler was waiting in the park at the junction of Swanston Street and Risdon Road, where she supplied sustenance to get the hasher back to the pub (and nice it was too).

Back at the pub Next Week was busy hassling hashers into signing up for a forthcoming run, with great success. ITR was demonstrating the autocratic style in which he will rule the club as the incoming GM – be afraid.

The lip session was conducted by Shit Creek for the first time. He was under duress from Can’t Stop who brought out his own microphone received on a previous H5 Christmas Run (Thanks Hands On!) Fortunately, we will not have to endure this for quite some weeks with his imminent departure to various hash runs overseas.

Quite a contingent of H5 members are also departing for Interhash in Indonesia – safe travels to you all.


SKOLS – Can’t Stop and Shit Creek

  • New Committee just to remind those who can’t remember from last week’s AGPU who the new committee members are
  • The Hare – Growler – good trail and bonus piss stop
  • C*ntry Members – Smallgoods, Luv Shack, Incoming, Eveready
  • Next Week – has had a cash splash and bought a new motor bike
  • Bee’s Dick – late to hash because he caught the bus home from work and left his jacket and keys on the bus. Had to call a friend to hold the bus and retrieve his stuff.
  • Grizzly – drank Shit Creek’s beer by mistake
  • In the Raw – lost property. He left his newly acquired GM’s grail at the venue and spent all day looking for it.
  • Just Kidding, Eager and KKK – on the trail a dog took them by surprise by barking at them through the fence
  • Lone Arranger, Griz, Prickit, Can’t Stop, Topdek and Honkers – heading off to Interhash in Indonesia this week

Skols from the floor

  • In the Raw – to the previous committee for milestones being missed:
    • Luv Shack – 25 runs badge
    • Didn’t Do It – 75 runs badge
  • Grizzly – to Lone Arranger jumped out of the car to go to the chemist on the way to hash but forgot she had the car keys on her and Griz was stuck as the car wouldn’t go without the keys. He called and tooted the horn 3 times, but she didn’t hear him
  • Prawn Star to In The Raw – he was busy chatting to the lady behind the bar when ordering his meal. She noted his name as “In the Rare”
  • Next Week to Bees Dick – Next Week went to Service Tas to register his motor bike and said hello to a perfect stranger, thinking it was Bee’s Dick.
  • In the Raw to Bee’s Dick – getting drinks after the run, says his name to the barmaid and she said “sorry about that, put some salt on it”
  • Can’t Stop – left a prize from last week’s AGPU at the venue – a poo-smeared napkin that was hanging out of his mankini
  • Announcements
    • Full Moon Hash – Sunday 4 May @ Okines Park, Dodges Ferry (near Dodges Ferry Primary School)
    • Next Week’s Run – Moonah Hotel
