RUN NO. 2413 SERASA 18NOV2014

RUN NO. 2413
DATE: 18 NOV 2014
SITE: SERASA
HARES: MISMANAGEMENT - SQUEAK/TWINKLE TOES

What an evening to be had – a night to indulge your whims and fantasy. The Serasa Yacht Club provided us with a great venue to hold Founders Day 2014.

The Singing Nuns

Most runs laid - winner and close runner up

Most hashits

Best dressed!

Out going JMs Hashhound and Wonderwoman!

Wonderwoman started you off on the run which was a fast ‘find the lost hasher’ event – the closest one of our committee admitted that she would come to a live run! Spicing up the run were the roving lost hashers that you found in nooks and crannies, cafes, playgrounds, trees, rocks, and beaches. For some ladies hashers, it was a case of ‘now you see her, now you don’t’, and that lost hasher who had the orange bands isn’t actually where we saw her last time – wherever did she go? After a bit of searching up and down the reserve, most of you did find who you needed to and despite some frustration, in the right order!

Just to remind ourselves – you needed to collect the finger bands IN THE RIGHT ORDER – (many thanks to Smurf, Recruiter,Trailblazer, Hash Hound,Squeak) and last but most importantly, to find your orange ping-pong ball from Twinkle Toes in order to claim your Founders Day 2014 goodies!

And what goodies there were – a very stylish grey/pink combination Founders Day shirt and your very own named chair. Hoorah! The Brunei Hash Hens gifts are truly stylish and functional. We will all put those chairs and shirts to good use in the coming year I am sure :->

After a shower and change, you transformed yourselves into ‘the singing Sisters’ - I will follow him…., Iron Man, angels, fairies, evil queens, Marj Simpson, dancing girls, ninjas, superhero’s – Iron Man, Batman, Captain America, Wonder Woman and all manner of fantastical figments from our imagination (and perceptions of real life!!). Fun was had with the table quiz –guess the hasher/event over the 2014 year and the Pop Culture Quiz – that was pushing the limits for some of us! Great punch, music (thanks to Martin), dressups and prizes for best dressed (Buttercup) and runners up, great entertainment – what a cracker of a night.

Many thanks to our outgoing GM, JMs and Mismanagement Committee for their hard work and commitment to us throughout the year and a warm welcome to the 2014/2015 GM – Black Beauty, JMs – Twinkle Toes and Squeak, and the full incoming Mismanagement Committee. We look forward to a fantastic year ahead with many great runs! On On……..

RUN NO. 2412 TANJ BUNUT KANAN 11NOV14

RUN NO. 2412
DATE: 11NOV2014
SITE: TANJ BUNUT KANAN - 50TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION RUN
HARE: BUNNY GIRL

How to sum up the run – MUD, MUD AND MORE MUD! If mud is good for your skin then my feet and ankles are beautiful!

Only a few hens braved the traffic to cross town over to Bunny girl’s house but well worth the trip. The run had the usual ups and downs with water crossings, mud and a treat at the top of the hill - great sunset views. Only 4 km long so everyone got out safely. Thanks to Bunny Girl and her husband for laying a lovely but muddy trail.

We, (JM’s) conducted a laid back shout up, from our comfy seats at the bar, whilst enjoying a little G&T to celebrate Bunny Girl’s birthday. Ryvita (who was introduced to hash by Bunny Girl) celebrate 250 runs. Dani escaped again before being welcomed as a new member.

Alison reminded us that the 16^th is this weekend. So please visit her house to partake of coffee and cake, buy some goodies and help a good cause. The run after Founder’s night is also in aid of the hospice with gifts and prizes - another opportunity to donate. Please bring your cash!!!

Next week’s run is short but fun – TwinkleToes mentioned ping pong balls and loom bands - the mind begins to wander!!! At least we are not in Thailand. Run starts at 5.15 no need for hash shoes - trainers will do. Welcome drinks, gifts and so on will be ready for you upon your return. Then it is off to the changing rooms to transform yourselves into your costume to join our Fantasy kingdom, with Psycho talking about Pom Poms I’m wondering whose fantasy we are in.

On On

RUN NO. 2411
DATE: 4 NOV 2014
SITE: SUBOK 564
HARES: TRAILBLAZER/SID

Hares

The rain had been heavy the night before the Run so we knew it was likely to be a muddy one and it was still threatening more rain when we signed in so when we were told it was going to be a 5km run and we would need torches most of us decided to play safe and do first check and out! We were right to do so as it was so muddy and slippery in the jungle we were all struggling to stay upright! That was without any green or blue! A few of us didn’t even make first check but turned back after 30 mins while others tried to reach first check before turning back. It seems that a few managed to do the whole run although no one claimed the checks as it appeared to be a team effort! Anyway although it was dark when we got out we all did get out and in one piece! Sid left some cute on on feet biscuits for us at the boards which were a treat!

As usual we all then proceeded to make ourselves comfortable for the shout up but then the rain came so we all had to get very cosy under Mrs Pingu’s house which made for an intimate shout up! I do think a thank you is due to Mrs Pingu for her hospitality!

The shout up started and the Hares and Horns were duly thanked and Jane was made a new member! Hoorah!

Then it was the turn of the Celebrating Hashers. There were loads of them with more than 2000 runs between them!

Tina with 400 Runs, Sid with 600 Runs , Trailblazer with 600 Runs , Survivor with 450 Runs , Duchess of Cambridge with 100 Runs and the 50 Run first award for The Recruiter. Well done all of you!

Novembers Birthdays babes which included me [see next week!] were brought up for a song and some cake. The poor JM’S had to do yet another renaming so Nippon San is now something else but I really can’t remember what………..

Hash shit was given and poor Dizzy fresh back from holidays got it again………..although shared with Smurf! As it was still raining the honoured ones simply went out for a soak ……a very gentle hash shit if I may say so!

Hashit for Dizzy and Smurf with JM Wonder Woman

Post shout up we dined on some scrummy chicken, vege pizza and salad which we all enjoyed thoroughly so thank you hares. It was still raining at this point so there was nothing we could do but stay cosy and drink a little more………………

On On
