A run with a Pinball theme
The Beginning
Tighty Whitey succumbed to the guilt of not having set a run in the recent weeks. He cratered and volunteered to take the date of December 9, 2024. His plan was to set the run from Inglewood from a taproom/pub formerly known as the Revival Brewing and Arcade (Revival Brewcade), now know as Burn Block Social Club. A key feature of this establishment is the pinball arcade games.
What kind of hasher does not enjoy ancient pinball games, especially if it is free on Monday night? As such, a run was set to introduce the hash to this new establishment and enjoy the sights and sounds on the Inglewood neighbourhood.
A good turn out with 27 hashers, including archives, new boots and the balance of the group.
The group converged on the taproom/arcade and got ready for the run.
Looks like PMS ran the circle, and introduced the pack to archives (Mermaid, Maple, Cocktail and Not Too Deep), as well as new boots, Just Lena and Just Natalie.
Tighty Whitey was called into the circle to describe the cunning trail he had concocted. Featuring and Eagle and Turkey split (of was that Easy and Tough). Marks were displayed on a wall for all to enjoy.
The hash was released to find the marks to follow through Inglewood and beyond.
The Trail
Down 9th ave SW over the river to what used to be know as Fort Calgary. Great views of the city, zoo lights and other features.
Closer to the zoo, there were plenty of lights to enjoy.
Apparently, some playground action was involved with headlight equipped hashers enjoying themselves immensely.
More pathways leading to the illusive regroup, hidden in plain site near Cold Garden.
After the regroup was completed to everyone’s satisfaction, back to the Burn Block Social Club for the down downs.
The Down Downs
Back to the pub, the group got themselves sorted and prepared for the down downs.
Hump the Shark eventually got his act together to perform the closing ceremonies. A choir of Hot Cheeks and Slow Clap were ready to deliver the songs.
A fine job by Hump the Shark and the group was declared “on the piss”

Trail Summary
A good 5.0 km plus with a significant check back on Memorial drive.
Bonus Content
Scoobie was unfortunately unable to make the run due to a conflicting ski camp and Mount Norquay. Sun, snow and fun. All part of making Scoobie a better skier.
