They came out of the woodwork for tonight’s Joint Run and mass photography extravaganza. The pack gathered at AB Oval except for Pedantic who was seen trying to short-cut the Military Rd snarl only to find himself lost 300meters from the start, in relatively unknown territory, with a broken in-car GPS.
The Harriettes had set a trail primarily on the Balmoral side of Mosman so it was either up or down or you needed one leg longer than the other and we went as far down as the beach. One understands that when one does the walkers trail set by the Harriettes that there’ll be plenty of girlies to socialise with and tonite was no different with newer members like Krud doing his fair share of fraternisation. I didn’t see much of the athletes although I assume that TITO was pushing Music Man pretty hard. A few more Photo Models like The Arbitrator turned up at the Bucket to enjoy the frivolity and with the Posh membership being asked to wear their 2600th t-shirts there was a sea of canaries.
We adjourned to the Mosman “Ari” for the On and it was obvious that most hashers were there for that Grand photographic event – the cover shot for the 50th Anniversary Commemorative mag. Ace photographers Next Week and All Fours assisted by choreographer Tic Toc managed to herd the crowd on to the verandah for the piccie. As I said they came out of the woodwork – King Arthur, San Francisco, Polyunsaturated, Jungle Jim(back on deck) and some Moochers led by Dr Jekyll resplendent in moon-boot (so that he had to sit on a chair right in centre front of the photo).
That was the easy bit of the night – placing your food order and getting a beer was a fraught exercise so your correspondent went down the road to Chargrill Charlies for a $15 schnitzel and veg – bugger the beer.
Just for those Pommie rockers amongst you, the 70’s hit-makers Racey, Paper Lace, and the Rubettes will be on at Anita’s theatre in Thirroul on November 17.
