Last Weeks Run

Run 1785 on 5th Nov 2002 @ Diplo Site

Hares: Liz & Sylvia

Money, money, money was obviously the theme for the day, the hares were hoping everyone donated buckets of it, hash cash hoping we’d have enough to pay them too! Now we’ll know where everyone’s priorities lie! The jungle was festooned with replica notes of varied denomination and origin, it was questioned who were the most likely to not notice if we picked up a few and used them….

Would eagle eyed hash cash notice….YEP not even a pause in that decision.

Would Sylvia and Liz notice either for the charity or for tokens now that would be good! but consensus was a resounding YEP they’d notice.

Would Supa save, Tiong Hin or other supermarket notice probable so that was no good either but best bet was the BB how much do they pay for an exclusive interview and information on the counterfeiters of the Brunei Jungle!!! Could be a page one story but then again we don’t want anyone to get into trouble so good on you ladies for going in again and picking it up!

The run, well perfect length for the time of year, pretty good trails, good amount of paper and thankfully the hares had got rid of the Brunei army before the run (more details wanted speak to the hares!) The eagerness of some was obvious as they clustered clucking at the edge of the road before 5.15pm and their instant sprint up the sandy ridge while others meandered around the tent looking skyward for more signs of rain, others huddled together talking in hushed tones? What was to come tonight! Whichever group you were in, most eventually made it to the top of the hill and started to scurry along the undulating ridge walk and very nice it was too. Time to catch up with the goss, time to stretch those tendons and muscles, remember our poor co-hare Anna, and time to consider the pros and cons of counterfeiting. The view was considered by some trying to determine exactly where they were, doesn’t take much to loose some hens!! and then we dropped down to the leafy trails and onto first check.

Who knows who found it? Not me or my co-hares but we were met by the kind hearted Debbie explaining how to short cut to the on paper in the valley. Did anyone take notice NO, you should try listening to some of our older  oldest   old   sages  more experienced hashers. At this point Debbie was heading back and probable unnoticed by most so were most of the committee (if they’d actually got this far) as organizational responsibilities called, as we schemed to organise the nights celebrations!  So if you went on please fill in for me and let everyone know how it was!!

The last hill though was a killer I was reliable informed by Di the front horn as she emerged onto the in trail ridge again. Concern at this point was for Gina C, as Di called down to check that she was still breathing, loosing her at this point would have made for an interesting night!   

Thank you ladies for a good run, well organized charity fund raising event thanks Sylvia and Liz and great raffle thanks to Gina R and fellow helpers.

Cheryl’s turn.

What a great job the Committee did for Gina’s 1000^th!   I was a bit worried when the blue light appeared and to be told to act normally but hide my beer!   Well, I never act normal in the first place and don’t drink beer. (had a delicious G and T in my hand at the time though courtesy of Karen H!)   What a scam!   It was only Glyn and his video camera!

After manfully taking the hash shit, Gina was unfurled on a banner the likes of which I have never seen in my nelly duff.   Then she was dressed to the manor born by the fashion advisors from Hash Shop.  Our G.M. then took up the mantle of Eamon Andrews and presented a ‘This is Your Hash Life” type tribute to our Gina.  A very good job too, if I may say so.   Gifts started flowing towards the star of the evening.   Megastar hash boots and a very nice plaque from the hubby.  Flowers, life time membership and a book of hash memories from us. 

Gina then gave a speech from the heart and we got tore into the fish and chips!  (After the speech was finished of course, because we are all properly brought up girls.)

A memorable evening.

Alison (again)

Tonight’s run is in the same area but not quite, is of similar length well perhaps not quite, will be followed by a great on-on most definitely to celebrate Deepevalli, thanks to all the ladies for putting the food on and my co-hares for the extras. 

THE PREVIOUS WEEKS RUN

Run 1784 on 29th Oct 2002 @ Spg370 Jln Muara

Hares: Gina C, Debbie & Ziggie

The Halloween Run

At 6.45 cackling crones, raging devils and other creatures of the night gathered at Debbies. The horn sounded and we were off following paper ghouls, witches and stars down the track. A procession of torches led the way into the dark.

The generous hares provided both a full length (witches) and economy (Fairies) run for the more faint hearted. Monsters with water pistols provided additional thrills and checking in the dark was an interesting experience. Just before leaving the jungle an obligatory shot of schnapps encouraged all to let their hair down.

On arrival at Ziggies midnight blue spirits put all in a good humour. Kaye received her 150 run award. A surprise appearance of SLaphead and Glyn who presented Gina with a golden chook to celebrate her 999th hash in Brunei. (That's 20 years of straight hashing). Mandy, Naj and Kiki won best dressed prizes for their outstanding costumes and the two Helens demonstrated how a hashit should be taken.

The evening was completed with a deliscious dinner of Chilli Concarne and baked potatoes which slightly counteracted the effects of the alcohol. Blue t shirts were provided which are to be taken to this weeks run.

Talking of this weeks run it does have a few hard hills but it is all in a good cause. Hens are asked to dig deep to support local Balinese who were affected by the October 12th tragedy. This cause is close to the heart of Hen House Harrier Cath B who was in Bali at the time.
