Rehash of Run # 1740 - The Missing Linc and Oxfam Legs Run at Settlers Crescent (Ferrymead); On On Flinders.
SIF started off well in the morning but the day progressed to 3 truck crashes which saw him set off to pick folks up at about 1823. On the way he realised that the register was not on the seat next to him so turned round and fetched it from wherever he had left it. He eventually called in to pick Dagy and Loco up at about the time the front runners set off on trail. The SIFmobile then raced off to pick up Shortplanks who was in no rush to finish the beer he was consuming.
He was duly chivvied and eventually we all arrived at Settlers to find Oxy in a panic that we should hurry or we would not get to the first piss stop. Loco had the bit between his teeth however, and headed straight to the Speights ale house. Dagy tried in vain to find trail or walkers while watching the front runners on the other side of the estuary. The first time we hashed around there a mass of green slime was leaching from the old dump but I am told there was none of that this time.
So, into the pub where the barmaid, recognising talent when she saw it, tried to get us to rego for the open mike night.
Eventually, Firkin turned up to inform us that Toad and Farkin Princess from the Mount were missing us…….right, OK.
The pack was seen to race past the front door with not one of them looking in so we downed our pints and raced ( staggered) after them.
The run evidently was a cracker and we were really sorry that SIF was late and we had to miss it. No problems though so we jumped in the wagon and followed all and sundry back to Links. Here all was confusion with Vege and St V not sure of anything and Bag Shag looking lost as well. Why? Because we were directed down the steps to the bit of flat below the house where the Gazebo was set up. Unfortunately for Link, the weather turned a bit so it was up the steps and into the garage as per usual. This after the fines though:-
Hats in the circle drinks to Frigid, Bag Shag and Vege
Toad and Princess for being visitors and other fings.
Link for new boat that he would not show us
POTW to Navi I believe for carrying their new dog
TITS to Planks for being himself
Navigator and Frigid Digit then received jackets for both doing 600 runs,,,good one!
Their drink was a mix of beer and tequila given to the club by Garbage Pail Kid from Phoenix who was with us on the 29th Dec run.
Dagy also presented them each with a Phoenix patch which were given to the club as well. Thanks to GPK..If anyone has his email could you please forward this garbage to him.
Top tucker was then served up by Oxy and a bloody good night had by all
Thanks Oxy and Link
Next run On Sunday at the Waikuku surf Club On On at 18 Allin Drive Waikuku
Time 1230 for run start at 1300
This is a joint run with CH2H3 providing the beer and taking the money
On On
