RUN NO. 2537
DATE: 11 APR 2017
SITE: LUCKEN GARDENS - TAMIL NEW YEAR
HARES: Led Astray, Pedigree Pup, Rush Hour, Siaw Yan

It was hot and sticky as lots of hens gathered at lucky gardens and that was before we even set off into the jungle. With so many front runners injured there was a moment where it looked like there would be no front horn until Footloose stepped up to the job. With Alice in Wonderland ready as back horn we were off.

We started off up through the quarry and that way into the jungle which was a nice change. The first check proved tricky but was eventually found by Sambuca. There was an optional (that maybe wasn’t supposed to be optional) loop to increase the distance by a good 1.5-2km with two further checks and well done to all who did that.

Back at Pedigree Pup’s pad a delicious punch awaited us to bring in Tamil New Year and some very beautiful saris started appearing as well as a bindi for everyone which Survivor aptly applied to all our foreheads.

We welcomed a new member, Lei, who has been in Brunei for a long time and is now ready to hash! Welcome Lei. A delicious array of curries with rice, Chappatis and papadums then followed. A truly delicious treat.

Next week is the annual British run! The run is at Mentiri waterfalls and the shout up and celebrations will be at Rachel Fielding’s house.

There’s so much to celebrate; St. George’s day, HRH the Queen’s birthday and her Sapphire Jubilee! Queen Elizabeth II is the first ever British Monarch to reach 65 years on the throne. She overtook Queen Victoria’s (her great great grandmother) record reign of nearly 64 years back in 2015 and on 6th February completed her 65th year as a reigning monarch. Remarkable! We’ll have a delicious well known British aperitif for everyone to enjoy followed by a delectable High Tea and some of the high quality, well-rehearsed entertainment you have come to expect from the Ladies Hash :-D Please wear anything Union Jack themed you may have, or blue, white and red for the OnOn.

Bring swimmers if you fancy a dip and do bring a chair. There will be an exciting photo opportunity with a VVVIP too, so make sure you set your hair and wear your pearls. It’s not one to miss! Tally-ho!

NEXT RUN: MENTERI WATERFALLS
BRING A CHAIR TO THE ONON

RUN NO. 2537
DATE: 4 APR 2017
SITE: DIPLO (RED DRESS RUN)
HARES: MISMANAGEMENT

The run started at exactly 5.15pm at Diplo hills. Several Men have joined this run as it is for a good cause. Leading the run at front horn was Ready Mix with a new and powerful horn followed by Never Wrong who assisted at back horn. The trail had lots of small routes and oh boy, the first check was so tricky that front runners did not manage to find it. DOC explored the hilly slopes away from the misleading check paper where she found the trail that connected the run. Paper was laid through. During the run, were lots of tricky sharp turns which runners would miss if they weren't paying attention.

There was mud, water crossings as well as steep hills making it a well rounded hash run. Upon exit, the committee JMs welcomed us with an after run "concoction" where all of us had one or two. Runners ( both men and women) went to change into glamorous red dresses to celebrate at the On-On where there were lots lucky draw prizes and food plus music.

Our dear Hasher Geri Reid was also named during this event - from hereon, she will be known as "Under the Radar". Additionally the winners of the red dress run were OverThis in third place , Sticky Fingers in second and Stingy Brothel in first -many thanks to his magnificently skanky wig! Lol! other hashers such as Sarah, Wonder Woman got a mention for their attires and received some sponsorship gifts from yellow pages.

Next week's run will be the Tamil New year run at Lucky Gardens. Hashers are *more than welcome* to come in their Indian attire for he On-on. Don't forget your chairs and learning to say " Puthandu Vazthukal" won't harm you either. Led Astray, Pedigree Pup, Rush Hour, Siaw Yan

HARES: WHAT BUTT/TRAILBLAZER

A larger than expected crowd for the school holidays! Psycho called the hens to order with a sweet message from the hares, Short run.. SO short that there was no check! Groans and whines from a few *cough* Mean Machine *cough* (Welcome back!).

Then it was into the jungle through relay hill and coming quickly into sight of the party ground. Following the river, turning back round to be greeted by butterfly tree, Bill’s ridge and out! In and out of the jungle by 6 for most despite a number of hens going back in for round 2.

Under the tent with rain threatening to pour We thanked the hens for the run and the homemade Laksa speciality of Sweet F.A. We welcomed 2 first time guests. Auntie Lesley who is in Brunei for the nuptials of Rush Hour & Making Bacon. Alexis who is a trumpugee and is in Brunei as a teacher. We welcomed back Mean Machine as a returning hasher. Here for a holiday. Missing the jungle. Buttwhat celebrated 50runs with a potty. March babies celebrated with a cake to share. Next week run is red dress run. Wear red. Wear a dress.
