Booty Camp and Snow Blower volunteered to set trail. The starting point was in Confederation Park, in the parking lot close to the public tennis courts. Fine weather was all around us, and the group assembled in the park.
Apparently PMS was monitoring the passage of time and started the circle early to enable the run to start early. Even though we say the run start is 7:00pm, we know that it really means 7:10pm to accommodate those that are held up by the crushing traffic.
As such, some of us missed the announcements and other formalities, but did manage to be included in the introductions.
The hashers formed a reasonable circle and the program was started.

PMS called the hares into the circle to describe the marks that had been set for the trail.

With the marks described, the pack was released to find the true trail.

Trail Summary
A fine trail of around 6 km was enjoyed by the pack. Thanks to Booty Camp and Snow Blower for setting a fine trail.
Lof-T Prancer volunteered to set trail. The start point was is the Charleswood neighbourhood in the NW. A busy place with many outdoor activities all happening at the same time.
One key feature of the run start location is that the city picnic tables were tagged as alcohol friendly!
As the group arrived, the challenge of finding parking has to be overcome in this residential area.
The hashers wandered in and a respectable turn out was achieved. An observation about the length of the day decreasing as we head to fall. Start the run in the light, finish in the twilight.

On In got the circle organized. We went through the announcement, and noted that Erections are coming up in a couple of weeks. We need you for mismanagement! Talk to On In or PMS to volunteer.
Lof-T was called into the circle to describe the marks he had chosen for the evening run. Lots of blue chalk. H’s in various sizes ranging from microscopic to enormous! Some placed low, while others were placed very high! No flagging this time.
Lof-T directed the runners up the hill to the south, and the pack was released.
The Trail
The trail started out on the pathways until a check at a street crossing. The pack dispersed to find the false trails that had been cunningly set by Lof-T. Eventually, more marks were found and the pack was good.

Parks and views were promised, and we were not disappointed.

Reminder that the full moon is coming up!
After navigating the small markings in the forest, we stumbled upon the end of the run and got set up before it was total darkness.
Regroup and Down Down’s
It was a bring your own chair type of evening. A closing circle formed so that we could enjoy our refreshments and snacks.

Hump the Shark assumed the RA duties and appointed Booty Camp and Snow Blower as choir. As darkness was now a thing, the taking pictures thing became more difficult. Everyone moves much faster in the dark!
I am not usually this blurryGreat picture!
Hump the Shark went down his extensive list of crimes, misdemeanors and made up stuff.
Our Hashmaster was so excited to get the run started, he neglected to go around the circle as the beginning so we could call out our names. We did it late and in the dark. On In will never forget!
On In post down down
Lof-T set a fine trail and was rewarded with a suitable song. He should set trail more often as his neighbourhood is rich with features, pathways, and viewpoints!
Lot-T the hare
On with the program. Usual stuff with many offences and things that warranted a down down.

Unfinished business from last week was the half yard ceremony for Hump the Shark for realizing 300 runs. This week, the vessel was present and filled with suitable refreshment. Hump has been practicing for years to do this well!
