Setting A Hash

Whilst setting a hash is similar the world over, there are local variations caused by a) where the originator of the particular kennel first started hashing, b) financial considerations, c) local customs, d) litter laws (how well they are enforced) e) terrain.

Here in Guyana, the Hash uses Shredded Paper (usually US embassy secrets, but sometimes UK High Commission secrets, and of late GUYSUCO secrets   ....  they really don't want people to know how they are wasting the money!), although flour may be used if the trail is mostly on road.  During wet season, the flour washes away, and in the bush, insects eat it, and the colour is normally too close to the colour of the surrounding sand.

In Georgetown and it's environs, a small amount of paper (half a handful) every other lantern post or even every 200 yards will suffice to mark trail.  Outside of G/T more paper should be used, since people tend to believe we are working black magic on them when they see us laying the paper, and tend to shift it.  Kids also have a habit of playing with the shreddies.

A single pile of paper indicates the trail for the hounds to follow, and as long as paper is laid at decent intervals and not too well hidden, the hashers will find and follow it.

Check points:  two piles of paper laid side by side will indicate a check point.  Check points a) make the trail more interesting b) cruel, c) evil, d) fun, e) and allow the tail enders to do some catching up.

Hares (those setting the run) should always indicate beforehand the number of people who must reach the check point, before the hashers are allowed to continue on .. note hares do not count in that number, they are not persons!!  Under normal circumstances 7 - 10 is a good number.  However, when in Jungle terrain, it is always better to increase the number.  The more people on the hash, the more it spreads out  .... the tail enders have been known to come on in about 1/2 hr after the front runners!!, so the more hashers, the more false trails, the better.

After the check point it is customary to have 2 or more trails going off in differing directions, with the first pile of paper being placed anywhere within 300yds of the check point.  Hashers are encouraged to call out "On On" when they encounter the paper piles.  this is especially important in bush since we run a very real risk of getting lost in unfamiliar territory.

Tit Check:  normally a circle of paper with a central dot, indicating that female members of the hash should go checking for the trail, whilst the men lounge around and watch the rear view of said female members as they go.

Dick Check:  a newly suggested check point that currently does not have a sign, where the male members must go look for trail.

The False Trail:  the false trail is any trail that is not the real one.  A false trail can be of any length (some have been 1 mile long), but must be clearly marked at its end by a false trail sign.

The False Trail Sign:  this is three piles of paper arranged in a triangle.  more paper is usually used for this sign than normal.  At the false trail sign hashers are supposed to call "False Trail" and return to the point where the check point was seen.

A hash trail can be of almost any length, but most commonly is between 3 and 7 miles long (including the false trails), although we have have a few 10 and 12 milers.
The trail may also be of any shape, circle and square being the most common.  Care must be taken to ensure that if the trail crisscrosses, there is no confusion between the on trail and the back trail.

In areas of agriculture, the trail should be kept away from plant beds, no matter how over grown they look ... those bushes might be food!!

A local guide is usually very useful if you are setting a trail in jungle that you don't know.  they may be able to make suggestions that will make the run more interesting (Chinese style interesting).

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:  The hash normally asks $2,000.00 for a town (G/T) run and more for out of town runs.  In most cases $2,500.00 is sufficient for an out of town run, but these costs are calculated on a 25 runner hash, with food from German's Restaurant (we have an arrangement  ... $15,000.00 for food), and a maximum of $35,000.00 for drinks, ice, plates, cups etc.

Food costs vary according to location, but in most cases should not exceed $15,000.00.

Beers, the life blood of the hash (Banks) can be purchased from any wholesaler, and the hash has a supply of bottles that is used to exchange ... regular Banks bottles are recycled and a deposit is paid when you purchase beer without the bottles.

Please ensure that all regular banks beer bottles are returned to the Dicktator.

The normal meeting place for the G/T hash is in front of the British High Commission as being the most central point for every one (but mainly because the first Guyana hashers were British!!!).
Time of meeting depends mainly of where the run will be held.  The further away it is, the earlier the meeting.

Of late, most hashes have been held on Sunday, because most of the local hashers work on Saturdays, but this is not set in stone, only as a convenience.

Note: a new hare will usually be paired with a veteran hare.  Again not set in stone, but it works out better since the vet knows how to set trail, and the newbie may have new trail ideas/locations.


Now that you have been given the salient points about setting a hash run, get out there, volunteer and set one!!!!

THE DICKTATOR

Well now, as they say, another day another dollah!

well, another fortnight another hash!!

This last hash, Run Number 630, was very sparsley attended, probably due to the late information from the hare.

A grand total of 11 runners (including the hare).

A well,  anyways, the run started off going from the BHC out past German.s onto water street, all the way down a past the Banks, Arcade and Stabroek Market  ... did you know that the arcade is open on Sundays?

Past The old GNCB building and Min of Human Services, and a whole lot of streets later we ended up passing thru Bourda on our way to the National Park ... and thence the seawall.  Out onto the beach, all the way up past the Marriott site to the Demerara River.  Along the Jetty to the (under construction) Coast Guard Stn., past the Light house and back to the BHC.  New places seen new holes fallen into!

On On was back at RIHC's place in Lamaha gdns, where a good time was had by all, with one virgin recieving our attention!!  Don't know if she had a good time too!!

Anyhoo, the next run will be on Sunday 29th April, meeting 9am at the BHC (British High Commission for you uneducated farrts out there) on Main street  .... cars needed, so bring em!!!  4x4s preferred, but not totally necessary.  Lots of dry white sand on the trail in.

Hares will be Rebel, ChopSuzuki and Tall But Small.

Swim gear is suggested, but as I have said before, we dont mind u skinny dipping!!  all except Wussy Pussy!!!!  Aaaaarrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!  horrible thought!!!!

Bring along virgins for us to deflower please!!!

GHHH Run # 626 - Ralphman's Farm (Soesdyke-Linden Highway)

HASH REVIEW !!!
Hares:      3-Way Tramp, 6:30 Pata and No Name Radiante (with help from Flaps Down and Just Kenrick)

Where:     British High Commission

When:      Sunday March 4, 2012

Time:       11:00 am

Notes:      There is a creek; u know the drill.
                Walk with 1 change of clothes.

                4-wheel drive vehicles needed.

It was executed 'kinda like' it was planned.  Firstly, only our acting GM (Ibo-Ibo) went with his SUV which had 4-wheel drive (maybe we have to hold reading classes for Hashers on the next run).  So we expected to have some transportation problems on the return leg.
Secondly, although persons were told to follow the paper trail AND ONLY THE PAPER TRAIL, there were a lot of short-cutters who were following the limited vehicle tracks to get to the ON-IN.  They were dealt with in the circle.
Thirdly, the chow wasn't enough AGAIN.
Fourthly, King Solomon was given the Hash name:  "King Kong not-so-long"
We planned to have the two vehicles make two trips to transport the 40+ Hashers from the Farm - one snag - the pick-up got stuck on the return leg and the hapless hashers had to "Hash under the moon" through the trail to push the pick-up out of the hole.  Maybe we should call that "GHHH Run #627: Moonlight Hash to rescue Pickup".
Good work by our acting GM to walk half way back to ensure that we all "hashed under the moon" to get back to the vehicles on the trail.
All in all, it was a memorable hash which got a 8.9 rating by the GM and Circle.

Hares: Flaps Down, Just Radiante, 6:30 Pata, Just Kenrick and 3-Way Tramp

GHHH Run # 625

Yes... that drinking group with a running problem did it again.  And just in time as many Hashers need some exercise before Mashramani and of course ... plenty of excuses to drink beer ... ahhhhh.

Hares:   No name King, Just Jermaine and No Fucking Name Chris.
Where:  BHC then proceed to the East Coast
When:   Sunday February 19, 2012
Time:     1 pm     .....     now that was 1PM !!!
Notes:   Pool available at the ON IN.

The usual rules apply.  Hash Cash and transport to be brought.

The Next run of the G/T HHH

Well, as of this morning we no longer have a run this afternoon!!!!

Yes, I guess this run was just not meant to be.

First of all, Bank Cock texted me last week to say that she was busy with work related matters ... like that really matters....  the hash rules are

1) "Thou shalt have no other activity in front of the Hash"

2)  "The R. A. is always right"

3) " In case of R. A. error, see 2)

4) " There are no rules"

Then believe it or not, The main hare calls me up today and calls it off because "it is too wwww wet and cccccc cold and we (the hares) dont want to go out in the rain to set the run".  Too much traffic in the area, mud, water, etc.  (In Kingston and along the seawall !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Now, as good, vigorous, healthy, horny, raucous hashers should know, the hash goes on in any weather
and on or in any terrain.

In other words, no matter what, there should be a hash when scheduled.  Yes we know gone are the days when we had 50 mud-to-the-waist hashers doing down-downs in Palm Court, after having run in slush behind New Hope backdam, or swimming GuySuCo Trenches/Canals!  But come on people, a little rain????!!!!????

Shameful!!!  Our dear departed R.A. is sure to be turning over in her grave (oops sorry Moldy!) Our R. A. in training is sure to have something to say about that!!!!

Anyhow, first of all, the run has been put off until next week Saturday i.e. Feb 04 2012 at 3pm in front of the BHC.  Therefore Bank Cock no longer has an excuse for not setting the run with the other hares!

Next, those of you who read this blog but are not on the email list, please let us have your addy's and we will keep you up to date.

According to sources, the run after next will be hared by King Solo. Jr. on Sat. 11th 2012.  We hope so, our hare line is looking a bit sparse ... maybe I should go out and buy a wig!

Remember you can volunteer to set a run at anytime and in any place as long as we have time to work out the logistics of transporting the beer to site ... (food is if little importance) does anyone want to give and Easter Rodeo Hash another try?  Spermbank should be a useful hare considering that the last time he set a hash was Easter 2008!!

Now, about the last run.

As you may remember, our last installment of the GHHH was on Sunday 15th Jan at 10am.

The hashers as usual turned up at the BHC between 10 and 11, which meant that Yes we were late!!

Never mind .. we had a pretty good turn out there of about 34 hashers, which grew by the time we got up to the Highway Junction.

The G. M. set a nice simple trail that started at the back of Garib Farms and after about 10 mins of scrub and brush running, ended up on sand trails and then the circuit roads, all the way to The Jardim's place.

Now we ask that persons coming to the hash let us know so we can plan on food and drinks .. what we started off with was about 39, what we ended up with was 52.  Now considering that we catered for 40, it means that by the time the down downs were done, we were short on beer, and the food, well the less said the better.

All in all though, a very successful run both financially, and in terms of the hashy scale (7.5)  not bad for a quickly thrown together thingy by one person!

Jason and Tabitha got named:

Jason, despite the fact that he did not quite make the requisite runs, was leaving, so this being his home kennel, he got a name   .. despite the fact that he is a malariologist etc got the name "First to Cum"  coz he is a front runner ... or is that really the reason?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Tabitha was named (despite the rumour that she was responsible for the medevacing of her boyfriend with a terrible awful horrendous flesh and brain rotting disease!!!!!!,) "Cat in Heat"..... hhmmmmm!!!  Does somebody know something that I dont?

After all necessary persons were deposited in the OOL, including those who had sprung leaks and were trying to avoid being wet ....  no excuse .. it's red water anyhow!!!!!!!!

This being the first run of the year, hares for the nest run were volunteered by the GM  .... Terrence Reid, Bank Cock, and one other nameless person (at the moment anyhow).

Next installment of this Hash Trash hopefully next week after (if?) we survive whatever the hares throw at us.

THE FIRST HASH OF 2012 Happy New Year

Happy New year to one and all!!!


This year, the G2H3 (Georgetown, Guyana Hash House Harriers) hope to have a smashing year..... only the hashers can make it so!!

Now backing up a bit to last year ...  .... ..... The hash party was a reasonable success, Thanks to Swampy's house and pool, Apple Bottom Bitch's cooking and ChopSuzuki's BBQ skills      oh and a little help from  BOOZE!!!  We were somewhat disappointed by the fact that less than 1/4 of the current hash numbers showed up, and even more disappointed by the fact that so few hashers brought bottles along.  (And there I was hoping that the hash would not have to buy and vodka or rum for at least 3 months!!)

Ah well, Que Sera, Sera!

A good time was had by all (well almost all).  For some reason, despite the email going out to say hashers only, a number of persons did bring guests, (who did not bring bottles!!)  and obviously said guests were not told about the Hash, or the fact that the party was a pool party!!  We had persons turning up in short gold Lame dresses with 4 inch heels and other bits and pieces (without bottles)!!

Others turned up without swimsuits, others brought swimsuits, but never got into the ool (notice there is no "P" in that or at least we hoped not!!!) Well, some people came wet, some became wet and others had wetness thrust upon them!!!! Hi Rosie the Rack!!!

All in all a moderately resounding success!!!!

Now back to the important stuff    Fast forward to the distant future .... ... .. The Guyana Suriname Hash tie up will take place in  Mid March of this year (that is 16-17th March 2012).  Hashers who wish to attend, should visit the Suriname Embassy to obtain Visas and if you are driving across, get Suriname insurance from local insurance companies.

We will definitely need to know numbers for this hash, since hotel accommodation and food have to be dealt with.  In this situation, money needs to be paid up front, so that you can be booked in.
Iboibo, Nicholas Frazer and Highway Doucher are currently in Suriname checking out the trail possibilities, accommodations and misc. costs.

I believe that a lump sum payment that includes all transportation (unless you are driving across) accommodation and food (and booze maybe) will be levied.  Information to be published at a later date.

Now Back To The Present The first run of the Guyana Hash will be held Sunday January 15th,  9am at the BHC...it will be a all day hangout up on the Highway.  Further details to come

HOPING TO SEE YOU ALL THERE, and it would be nice to know how many of you will be along.

Drivers, please turn up with your transp, even if only a motobike!
