[Hhh] Next NRHHH Run 18th May 2015

Hi Hashers,
 
Next Run (no 1556)
When - Monday 18th May 2015 at 6pm
Where -  34 Trinity Drive, Goonellabah
Hares - Polarised and Hootu (Narina and Phil)
 
 
Last Run (no 1555)
When - Monday 11th May 2015 
Where - Westower Tavern, West Ballina 
Hare - Draggin' The Chain (Vicki F)   
 
Briefing the hash in the cooling evening of a car park, Hare Draggin' The Chain announced "I'm maintaining my tradition of no arrows". After receiving a few guiding words, the small knot of runners, Polarised, Kizzme and Procol, ran off, followed by the walkers. Clutching a map, the Hare proved very non-traditional with the pace she was setting. It was very brisk indeed. Runnymead was soon questioning where the Hare had got such speed and energy from. Being West Ballina, the trail was thankfully flat and wound through broad and seemingly empty streets. Quite a few 'Hash Halts' were held, to allow the walkers to catch up with the speeding Hare. On this particular night, she certainly was not 'Draggin' The Chain' as she powered off into the dark distance.

The walkers all gathered near a small boat harbour, that was an oasis of calm and serenity until we arrived. Watching out for some of the walkers was not entirely difficult as No More Gaps, Slurrrr and Saddle Sore were equipped with flashing lights on their shoes, wrists and, in Saddle Sore's case, bum. As Slurrrrrrr approached, it became evident that she was not also sporting illuminated nipples. This was a relief, as we can only stand so much excitement on a Monday night.

Standing in the dark on a pontoon for a Hash photo, No More Gaps decided to be affectionate and, under the cover of darkness, hold Saddle Sore's hand. However, as it was quite dark, she actually held the hand of Draggin' The Chain. It is only fortunate that she had not decided to seek out a different part of the anatomy.

After passing the runners, who emerged from the opposite direction, the Hare led the Hash across a reserve or two and out onto a small beach, close to some mangroves. The beach offered a beautiful view across the river to the opposite bank and distant hills - although we could not actually see anything as it was a very black night indeed.

A short meander back to the pub where large meals were quickly served and many hashers pronounced themselves "stuffed" after such huge portions.

Many thanks to Hare Draggin' The Chain for a good hash run at at startlingly fast pace.

[Hhh] Next NRHHH Run Monday May 11th

Hi Hashers,
 
Next Run (no 1555)
When - Monday 11th May 2015 at 6pm
Where -  Westower Tavern, 89-93 Kalinga Street, West Ballina (Opposite the Big Prawn)
Hare - Dragin the Chain (Vicki F)
 
 
Last Run (no 1554)
When - Monday 4th May 2015 at 6pm - STARS WARS DAY
Where - Northern Rivers Hotel, 72 Bridge Street, South Lismore
Hare - Slurrr (Fay)
 
It was an unusual sight outside the Northern Rivers Hotel last week for Star Wars Day, more like a poor mans Comic-con than a Hash Run.  There were three Darth Vaders, complete with light sabers, Two Princess Leia's (huh why no gold bikinis!)  one storm trouper (though a little on the short side) with Anakin and Padme in Pyjamas and Chewbacca hitching a piggy back ride.  (Pics attached)
 
Slurr (Fay D) provided a very well set run and walk, taking both the runners and walkers through the most fragrant areas of Lismore.  It was described as a walk for the senses, an amasing array of smells and noises from the cattles pens, followed by some perfumed gingers in the dark and the usual home cooking smells, the light sabers and Slurrs fabulous shoe lights also made it a very colourful walk.
   
Back at the pub no downs downs, but we all nearly died of thirst as the publican tried to serve 15 thirsty hungry hashers on his own.  Kudos to the one lady kitchen staff for the nice meals coping on her own.
 
Thanks Slurr for the well paced, well set run.
 
Please note there is a slight change of receding hareline below and I have attached the updated list.  Please let me know if any dates do not suit and I will try and swap you around.   Each hasher is tasked with 2 runs each a year so couples thats 4 for the household.  Also just a reminder NRHHH will reimburse you up to $80 only for the meal unless its a special occasion organised in advanced.
