Dear Lakeside Hashers
If you were not at my run from Gumbri Park last week you may not know the exciting news that was announced: Deeper and Prickly bush are engaged to be married! What a moment it was for all of us to have more genuinely good news to clap and cheer about. The talk of ‘Hash wedding’ was on everybody’s lips and no doubt this speculation will continue at the GMs run this week from yet another new venue - Allnutt Park in McKinnon. See you all there!

Dear Lakeside Hashers
While Gumbri Park has a BBQ area, seating and shelter, this area is not enclosed. Bring warm clothing for the circle as, on all my visits, a cold wind seeming to be blowing across the park. The shelter offers no protection. I have contacted the council and the toilets, usually locked at night, will remain open whilst we are in residence.
The details are:

Dear Lakeside Hashers
Welcome to 2022 and our first run for the year from Gumbri Park also known as Batman Park, Northcote. This renaming in 2017 was looked upon as a positive community sentiment in the renaming of the park, reflecting the communities enthusiasm of reconciliation. That the name Batman still dominates the entrance is explained thus: Feedback also explored retaining the visibility of Batman in the park in some form, rather than a simple name replacement. This would provide an opportunity for keeping all layers of history visible, raising awareness and acknowledging the past with respect.
