Bangers 'n' Madge, and it is always good to remind ourselves of his full name, received a down-down because Madge used her own form of trail laying (and Bangers had to bag it).
Blow Felt was put on the spot when the RA asked him to award a down-down and he failed. Earned him a drink of course, and the hashit.
Clap Trap saved the day for the Hare, who'd left his bottle of flour at home. Ever practical, CT was able to come up with directions to a flour vendor at short notice.
Count Roadkill was that Hare and with a trail washed out by overnight rain, he needed that bag of McDougalls finest and appreciated the down-down that resulted.
Depth Charge was numero uno FRB on the day: out there finding the lost trail, making up number checks, holding non-existent checks etc. - see how here
Double Entry took part in her first H5 Run at The Engineer's, 583 Runs ago. Since then she has done 532 Runs. Unprecedented record for a supreme hasher
Five Baah strolled off after the Run because the pub might not appreciate mutts. Big shame, they were more than happy and even threw some mince pies in (not exactly beef in yorkshire admittedly).
Forking Dickchair did a splendid job with the weather – he can't be blamed for overnight rain – and, would you believe it, a pretty good job at dishing out 9 thirds of real ale (only one for himself).
Golden Globes was off the vino, a strange sight to behold as she filled her Golden Goblet with innocuous substances and her chauffeur Globe Trotted from party to party.
Julian returned for a second time with Dad Clap Trap, and received a down-down for his troubles. He clearly enjoyed the beer and looked like an Engineer's convert.
Knobber cycled to and fro the Run. He also encountered an old chum, apres in the boozer, and before you could say "Newbee?" the chum was taking a beer with us in the circle.
Lady Penelope produced a fine batch of cakes and we donated proceeds to the local school PTA – chair, Private Parts – who shared the venue for their fund raising event.
Lulu once again benefited from the warmth of the Dior Hashit, but still managed to come very close to checking every trail in a false direction. The Hare thanks you, Sir.
Nik Nak clearly does not appreciate a hash audience when reversing into a prime parking spot after turning up late (as ever). An abandoned car and a down-down followed as sure as night follows day.
Pussies Galore is back on the trail! Great to see her looking in fine shape and doing the full circuit despite very strong wind (from the storm not Pussies).
ON ON to The Bedford Golf Club!!!
THE COUNT
