Hi all.

Just letting you know that Scribe reports have been progressively added to the website throughout the year.  Read a lot of them here to remind yourselves of the effort the hares have gone to and why we go to hash once a week.  There are more around – I just don’t know where.

The 2019-2020 Annual Hash mag is available here.  Have a look at the last 6 annual hash mags for a good laugh (click here); some of NickelB’s “Lessons” for life in his Grog Master’s Report (here);  Learn how Kokup got his name here and “How Some of Us Got our Hash Names” in the 2019 mag here; and Cheesecake’s “Product Review – The Trail Stamper”, also in the 2019 mag.  Hava peek at the 2016 mag and remember back to the Alice in Wonderland run at Swamp Rat’s, the Mt Baw Baw weekend away, the Pirate Christmas party and the black and white balls up - here.    

THIS YEAR’S HASH MAG

What can we write about for the last 8 months since lockdown finished in November:

• First run back after a long time was the St Andrews Day Run from a park in Richmond where lots of you turned up in Scottish stuff to have a drink stop of single malt whilst looking into the sunset.
• The Christmas party run in December from Albert Park Lake which brought lots more out of the lockdown woodwork.
• Bollywood’s birthday run in Inverloch for the weekend in February.
• The 2000^th run that brought together loads of ex-GMs and visitors we haven’t seen for decades.
• The weekend away in Healesville in May.

AWARDS FOR PRESENTATION AT THE AGM

For a full list of runs/hares/locations pertinent to this magazine & this AGM go to the Lakeside website.  Look from the AGM where Astro handed over to Cyclone in June 2019.  Nominate any of the runs from then up to now for awards.  Send your nominations to me/the GM/E&B this week – by Wednesday 7 July.  See the list on the website under “Previous Runs”- or click here.

Don’t let bloody COVID lockdowns totally kill Lakeside Hash. Keep up the traditions and send me something for the mag – please.  I need write-ups/stories/poems/jokes next week – by Wed 7 July! 

The AGM is on 14 July – see flyer on the front page of the website or click here.  Please step up and self-nominate to be on the committee.  Any hash is only as good as the people who participate in it.  Let me know if you will join the committee this year or help out in any way to organise hash events.  I will pass it on to my successor.

Make Hash Great!  …. Because it really is.
