Chardonnay’s Traditional Soft Opening Trail – R*n 1454
23 January 2025 from Montagu Bay Reserve
Hares: Soft Cock
Run Reporter: Xena

Oh yes! That soft opening run where the new cummittee have absolutely no idea of what they are doing and the old cummittee try to pretend that they have nothing to do with it. There was a definite divide between those on the new cummittee with the whatevs approach and those who are still NOT FKN HAPPY. In good news, there are only 51 weeks left for the not happy Jan crew.

Despite his time being up as Hash Cash, Snack Bar still managed to forget the square even though his one job was to bring it along to pass onto the next Hash Cash. Luckily Maximus was ready to go with C*n’t Stop as the keener than keen incoming Hash Cash along with Sonar, who will no doubt keep the club afloat for the next 12 months.

As always, the soft opening run was held on the elite Eastern Shore side of Hobart, where the weather is always a balmy 25 degrees. Softy managed to weave us along the foreshore, up every hill in Rosny, through the back of Rosny College, up another 14 hills and back down to the shores of Montagu Bay for one of the most picturesque piss stops that we have had in a while.

From there it was back to the Montagu Bay Reserve where it was a free-for-all with Hashers storming a group of French backpackers using the BBQ area to charge their 18 devices. With a BYO everything the order of the day there was the whole shebang ranging from Slippery Nipple’s gourmet cheese plate, through to Growler’s seafood affair, with the odd Hasher (including Nancy Boy and Snack Bar) relying on Cumunion to remind them that Uber Eats may not be able to find Montagu Bay Reserve on Google Maps.

The incoming top and bottom lips Nancy Boy and Spoof ran a lively lip session with a number of skols that made little sense to the Hon Sec, or most Hashers for that matter, with Poley leading the charge with skols from the floor.

Many thanks to Softy for kicking off the new Hash year in style!

DOWN DOWNS

Incoming Lips: Spoof & Nancy Boy

• Soft Cock – The Hare
• Herr Flick – Just when we think Flicky has resolved his car and caravanning issues! Another $1600 replacing his tail light after backing said car into caravan … or something like that!
• Morticia – A skol for being the Trailmaster Queen. Why not?!
• Sonar – Manages to break all of Tasmania’s work, health and safety rules by turning up on Day 1 of his volunteer job pissed.
• Crusher – Clicked on a mysterious pop up on his phone (downloading games he tells us) and surprise, surprise, a virus emerges. The only way to get rid of this is to pay $80 to an offshore account, which (even more surprising) turns out to be dodgy.
• Nancy Boy – for being a d*ckhead on a motor bike.

Skols from the floor:

• Griz -> Spoof for killing the local wildlife while disposing of his litter on trail.
• Poley -> Dyke and Buddha (one Dutchman skols…) for emptying out the Dutch section of the Immigration Museum of any spare coinage.  
• Poley -> Sonar for being late for retiree bike hash due to a bonus two-for-one special on manual prostate checks.
• Buddha -> Can’t Stop – new shoes – you reckon he’d know by now!
• Poley -> Growler for providing Poley with directions to The Espy Hotel in St Kilda via the scenic route … although Poley should get the skol for not knowing where The Espy is in the first place.
