Talk about memories, as Gunna and Bandit waited for the "On", it was like a trip down Memory Lane. TuckerBox returned last week after about a three-month absence, Wet Check, returned this week after about a six-month absence then, finally, Runaround returned after about a two-year absence. Then, as usual, as the pack moved off, Kunoath made an appearance.

Hash instructions were simple. Trail marked in chalk, on right side of road, a Wimp's & Rambo's and the start was a 360-degree check on the roadside. Trail was found to head along Vickers Rd. to a "Wimp's & Rambo's" at the intersection with Rose St.. The Wimp's (i.e. all of the pack except Wet Check) continued along Vickers Rd. to the intersection with Dallinger Rd. and then "On" to a Hash Halt where the Railroad crossed Dallinger Rd.. And they waited for Wet Check, and whilst they waited, they checked out the old Rail Crossing Gateman's home, which had been done up, presumable so it can be sold, and still the pack waited. Kunoath walked back to the Vickers Rd. intersection, and waited.

Eventually, Wet Check appeared, and joined with the rest of the pack, so it was "On On", continuing down Dallinger Rd., and into Union Rd., to another Hash Halt at the Railway crossing.

Trail continued along Union Rd. as far as Turner St.. A quick duck and weave through Balston St. and it was a trip down Memory Lane for Gunna as the pack continued down Kentucky St., past Gunna's old abode. Whilst the pack was standing outside the house, the current owner came out, and He and Gunna spoke for a short while. Trail then continued along Kentucky St, into Cheyenne St and then into Julie Pl. to another Hash Halt. Almost immediately, an "On Home" was located, allowing the pack to head through the parkland, over Wagga Wagga Rd. and back to the "On On".

Nosh was Rissoles and, the GM being absent, there were no Down Downs. Discussion occurred about the Christmas Function.
