RUN #830
Date: Monday 28th April 2014
Location: The Plough Inn, Keyworth (NG12 5AH)
Hare: Butcher's Dog
Weather: Dry
Pack size: 13
The hare's job in selecting an ON INN pub is not always straightforward. There is now an ever increasing check-list of requirements to satisfy. (1) The pub serves decent beer - the Plough had satisfactory provision of draught ale, though only one-third of the available beers when it was Too Tuf and Chicki's local. (2) Good location for access and trails - good bus service with the Keyworth Connection, plenty of car parking space and ideal sub-urban country paths for a Monday night trail. (3) Pub takes dogs, pretty important when the hare's one! (4) Check whether any hashers are banned - where was the RA tonight?
This was familiar hashing territory having had my work-base in Keyworth for 34 years, although nine different home addresses during that period. Stand-in RA and our new Curate did a decent job with the weather which bodes well for the future. It was a good length trail (approx 5.5 miles) that did manage to raise a sweat for my first sustained period of jogging in more than two months.

| Trail as done by Durex |
Curate (Captain Oates) led the circle for the first time and received a DD for doing so. Other rewards were handed out to (in no particular order): Too Tuf (Hashy Birthday next day); Malteaser (failing to bring the Beer Mistress equipment); Beefeater (Billy Joel look-alike); Ballcrusher (interfering with an OAP); Diarrhoea (trail blazing); Durex for believing a public footpath was still a public footpath, even when closed; Barritone for sheep-like behaviour in following Durex on the aforementioned trail; and the Hare (Butcher's Dog) for a 42% hash trail.
That's how I saw it...ON ON Durex
