Auckland Hash 50 year Dinner - Saturday 12th June

The 50th was a top night. Thanks to Dio for the albums and Loose Change for the photo booth. The sign that Listerean organized was an absolute cracker and he also organized the Spotify music. Good skills GM. The Hash flag was unable to be located. Last seen at Bighorn’s 1000th.

 The photograph albums had many of the guests checking out the past.

 Jubes has photos of Max and Sharkbait’s wedding, 7 Up and OFG’s nuptials, one of Butcher in a barrel and a lot of Hugo, Obs, Bananas and Gravy all of whom are sadly no longer with us.

 Butcher is of course, still very much still with us. The photographic record Jubes has left us is terrific and it’s a pity we haven’t maintained records of subsequent years.

 A lot of good photos of the Manukau Hash with Gonzo and Listerean (looking very chic) in much younger years.

 There’s even a couple of newspaper clippings, one of Bananas and Demon’s rescue and a photo and article by Phil Gifford when he ran with the pack.

 The night brought out some interesting memories as they include the Hussies, Manukau and a lot of Nash Hash and Inter Hash. Within the photograph albums was a photocopy of Titijig with a vibrator in hand. She was a good sport and took a fine for it – I’m sure she’ll speak to me again – eventually.

 Good to see that Mongo was well enough to make the night. His kidneys have been giving him some strife, so it was pleasing that he was able to join us.
