With no Blue Bird or Man Pig to write the words tonight
Shitfaced asked for volunteers, I though…… then said “alright”.
‘Twas good to see our GM back, no covid ill effect,
A smallish circle gathered round present and correct.
19 hashers came tonight to attend the AGPU
(Warm Front even cycled here to join ‘the chosen few’).
On the edge of Ipplepen, met at the football club
(Wet Johnny did the food tonight - Cheaper than a pub).
Wet Johnny also laid the trail, such a busy fella
Still quite light and nice n dry, no need for an umbrella.
Longs and shorts and walker’s trails all clearly laid in flour
Laid on the right, 3 and on – be back in ‘bout an hour.
The lycra boys (and girls) ran off, leaving us still standing
Uphill back along the road at first we found demanding.
Then narrow path the other side, ran along the road
The L/S split laid in flour, direction clearly showed.
All along to Two mile Oak and crossed the road once more
And followed signs to Denbury, flour arrows on the floor.
The fast front runners out of sight, with Ubend I now run
We were first to reach the checks and checked them every one.
Got it wrong the first time and the second time as well
On trail the hedgerows filled with primroses and bluebell.
Looking over shoulder saw Warm Front close behind
(she is an elite runner you’ve got to bear in mind).
Then on her heels was Beefy trying to get home first
‘cos football club had cheap beer, enough to quench his thirst.
In dribs and drabs we all got back, some at just a walk
Some people run, some people jog, some just come to talk.
We changed our clothes and settled down to curry, chips and rice
(I didn’t actually have some but the aroma was quite nice!!)
Shitfaced called us all to order, to start the AGPU
Who else was on committee? – I didn’t have a clue!
He was looking pretty lonely, saddened and bereft
So, Piltdown ‘came his right-hand man but sat down on his left!
No one to write the minutes? So, I thought I’d have a go
With in’s and out’s and bank accounts – the things we have to show.
The GM thanked committee and said some want to leave
The accounts were read, not in the red, the black I do believe
3Sum had it all wrote down, in rows and columns clearly
the subs collected every week and People paying yearly.
Insurance paid and badges bought and Tshirts for awards
(I took a photo of her notes, to keep for our records)
3sum would like keep her roll, Hash Cash she will remain
But Sat Nav (who did Hash Tax) doesn’t want to stand again
So Pisswell now will greet you all, beg or take your pound
And Piltdown man who takes your names is gunna hang around.
Our G.M. will stand again, we needn’t ask him twice
And to help him with the work load, Ubend will be his vice.
Rambo ‘came our new trail raiser. Wet Johnny social sec
If night out you want to organise, with him you’ll have to check.
Zoot will remain our Haberdash, and web master still bluebird
Pork Torpedo will sing songs, the ‘worst’ you’ve ever heard!
Forest Stump, Fallen Woman and Man Pig our R.A.s
And their Organiser Teapot entertain us on Mondays.
Well that’s it folks, I’ve done the words and craftily within it
I hope you read them, that’s because you've also read the minutes
On on Soapy xx
