The Beginning

The high level of enthusiasm for the hash continues as the weather gets colder. However, having hares step forward to set trails has been challenging lately. We are very thankful that Lazy Cummer and OPP who magnanimously volunteered to set this trail. Starting from the Trop Bar and Grill in Marda Loop, the gateway to the challenges of nearby River Park and the toney neighbourhoods with hills and trees.

Traffic issues in Marda Loop have been somewhat resolved. The construction nightmare of the past years is substantially history. Good news is that 33 Ave SW is done. Bad news is that 34 Ave SW is now under construction. The Trop is on 34 Ave.

Once we sorted out the where to park, we came into the Trop to join the major crowd that was there to watch some sort of baseball game. Nevertheless, we packed into our reserved section and got ready to relocate outside to the cold and dark to start the run.

Once inside, we had a full house to content with. Appreciated that we had tables set aside for us.

Our hashmaster, Camshaft, informed the group that it was time to go “outside” and form a circle.

Camshaft went through the announcements and introductions. The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks they had selected for the trail!

Lazy Cummer pointed to the “do not enter” sign in the alley, and the pack was released.

The Trail

Down the alley we went, heading south. If we keep going this way, we will end up in the darkness of River Park.

Through the neighbourhoods of Elbow Park until we found the regroup.

With much milling about enjoying suitable beverages, it was decided to do “outside” down downs … at the regroup. This choice avoids problems with the baseball crowd at the pub.

The Down Down’s

Hump the Shark was the religious advisor (RA). He prepared his program on the spot. He called the group to order, selected a choir of Walk Wanker and Lying Sack of Shit, and began the ceremony.

The hares were called into the circle and rewarded for a fine trail.

We acknowledged our visitors from New Zealand and Edmonton.

Visitors – Recycled Virgin and Very Saggy Testicles (VST)

A number of crimes and offences were acknowledged.

With all the crimes dealt with, the group was declared on the piss by the RA.

Back to the bar for the continuance of the good times. Our arrival time corresponded with some event in the game where the home team went ahead! I trust our group was instrumental in the win.
