A beautifu l warm calm day for the event brought out many rogainers and kangaroos. A s uperbly set course provided many choices immediately around the Hash House, lots of scope for running rogainers to the north in the open grassy countr y and roughly equal value for time points in the bush to the south of the H ash House. Congratulations to Caleb Addison, Seb Addison and Jonah Woodcock who won by a lot and also saw nearly all the course. Check out the gallery for some course photos and photos around the hash house and prize giving.< /p>
HUGE thank you to all the volunteers at the event - Ron, Jean, Peggy, Lorraine, Grant, Kelvin, Lyndel and a special thanks to Kai and Jimmy who made an en ourmous number of sausages and cheese toasties. Also many thanks to t he team who had finished early and came and helped with the catering just a t the time we were having a pasta disaster. Any help with our new rol e of catering is very much appreciated.
