Lakesiders: remember the ladt time we hosted the ball; at the Wattle Park Lodge; medievel
theme; throwing wet sponges at the GM while she was locked up in shackles; jostling and
all themed entertainments??? Remember how we wanted lots of people attending to see how
clever we were with our theme and decor? And remember our 2009 Balls Up that we hosted in
the Richmond bowls club with the theme of an end of war party, a ,40s swing band, a fred
estare movie playing on a screen, the bombs recording at the entrance. And remember
Ballarat’s Ballsups of 2001 and later for the marsi gras theme? What absolute FUN they
all were. So Let’s get a few tables together, register, pay our money, arrange a
designated driver or uber and go and have fun!
The following from the Melbourne Ladies Balls Up committee:
Hey Frauleins, Fraus and Gutaussehende Männer
Only 75 more sleeps to the event of the year! The MLH3 Oktoberfest Ballsup…Saturday 23
October…
I know, I know, we’re in lockdown. I get it and it’s hard to see beyond the end of the
couch let alone freedom beyond 5k’s…☹
Hopefully vaccination rates will be up by then… but we give you our 100% guarantee of a
refund if the event is cancelled due to DHH COVID restrictions.
BUT imagine how you will feel looking at all the photos of other hashers in their cute
outfits and you weren’t there!!! For years…all you’ll hear is, “oh wasn’t that forking
hilarious when the cops arrived just as the Harriettes were dancing naked in the beer
fountain” Talk about FOMO…
So while you’ve got time on your hands, get your tables together, get your registrations
in and put it in your diary. Something to look forward to ‘eh and don’t we all need a bit
of that?
To celebrate only 75 days to go here’s a recipe for a French 75 cocktail…don’t stop at
one, I mean once you’ve opened the bottle of champagne, it would be a crime to waste it!
60mls gin
15mls simple syrup (50/50 sugar and water dissolved)
Champagne (chilled)
20mls lemon juice
Ice
Add gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a chilled cocktail shaker with a handful of
ice, shake then strain into a champagne flute. Top up with champagne garnish with lemon
peel.
On On… your 2021 MLH3 Ballsup Committee xox
