Our Founders Day Run. The big event of the year. Our last run of the year! Next week a new hashing year begins, with a new committee.
We all gathered at the Royal Brunei Yacht Club under grey skies, to sign in. The tent was up, and decorations laid out for the night’s festivities.
It was to be a run with a difference, befitting our last run for the year. , no one wanted to be lost in the jungle. Our first clue was laid out for us at the sign in board. NO PAPER! We had to follow clues and work for our dinner.
A cryptic turn south which had some of the hares a bit puzzled, but turned out to be easy, just follow the front runners, if they were wrong, we all were wrong, then we were each given a plastic bag and had to collect rubbish, one plastic bottle, one can etc, an easy task as these items were in abundance before moving on to the next clue involving dragon boats, we passed that test then around the lollipop and a sprint home, keeping an eye out for a survivor and a sunset, both easily spotted then back to the yacht club to look for a tree with purple and pink flowers. All done, then a quick shower and all the beach belles gathered for the evening’s entertainment.

Prizes were given for best beach girls, taken by Alison and Cheryl. No contest, who could beat the frilly knickers, shower caps, rugs, sustenance and wind break that one must need for a day at the beach in Brighton.
We then had the year’s awards. Guess who got the perpetual trophy for most hashsits of the year, Linda G, again no contest. Longest run, shortest run, most runs, taken by Yann and Mad Marg. We welcomed a returning hasher from Singapore, Vigi who came just for Founders day.

After a sumptuous al fresco dinner the final work of the evening. The changeover of old committee to new committee, and a thank you to the old girls for a year’s hard work. At this stage we realized that our old J.M, Naj was not going to go quietly and a bit of push and pull ensued before the microphone was relinquished and our new J.M.s Nellie and Sarah B. could take over. Sorry Naj, we have enjoyed hassling you all year.
After the changeover the fun could begin with D.J. Martin at the controls.
A bit of “limbo some more” started the party and got the ball rolling, then it was dancing, swimming, dancing, swimming for the rest of the evening. Some of the swimming was involuntary!

A lovely Founders Day. Thank you committee.
