RUN #829
Date: Sunday 20th April 2014 (Easter)
Location: Star Inn, Beeston (NG9 1FX)
Hare: Barritone
Weather: Dry after a shower
Pack size: 14
Easter took the hash by surprise this year, new committee elected at the last hash and unusually we hashed on Easter Day. Thanks to Barritone for stepping in as hare at short notice. Despite being Easter we got a good-sized pack, even the rainy start to the day didn't put many off. We even had three returning visitors from down south, No Idea, Misled and How Long?
It had stopped raining by the time it came to the On Out, proving the new RA (Butt Plug) is no disciple of the former rain-making RA Too Tuf. Shame the new curate (Captain Oates) was not present for on-the-job training.
The new GM (Bugger) ensured the pack left the pub promptly, though before the hare had returned - we can always be confident that Barritone will lay a trail that can be easily followed without complications. The hare caught us up in time to tell us about the Easter egg check on the bank of the River Trent. Some eggs were hard won with hashers searching in the stinging nettles. Too Tuf failed to provide chocolate for Chicki - between them they only managed to find a bag of dog poo.
Visitor How Long? was today's FRB but showed commendable hash behaviour in waiting for the pack to catch up.
Back at the On Inn, Sam (no hash name yet) had made a lovely Easter chocolate and banana cake. This, along with the excellent refurbishment at the Star with a great choice of beers, made the On Inn receive many accolades. Free Willy emptied out his pockets to demonstrate who was the most prolific egg hunter.
Butt Plug led the circle with Malteaser relearning the job of Beer Mistress. More training is needed in use of the spirit level.
DDs were awarded to: Too Tuf (rapid pint clearance in order to catch train); Chicki (being in charge of animal on railway crossing and not phoning the fat controller); How Long? (FRB and visitor); Misled and No Idea (visitors); Goblin (weeing on the trail); and hare Barritone for a good run. Despite Sam's efforts to bribe us with a cake, after much discussion we still failed to arrive at a hash name, BJs, Jungle Bunny and Missing Briefs being suggested.
We liked the new Star and I'm sure we'll be back,
On On
