News from your GM

Many Hashers have been enjoying the guerrilla hashes which have been running whilst the Sunday Hash has been suspended. I'm sure that all those of you who attended would like to thank the hares of these runs for their efforts. It has been amazing to see how much countryside there is available within the city limits.

With the bus now available to us again we will be heading out of the city this weekend. As mentioned above we are still expected to adhere to the SARS CoV2 prevention methods so there are 26 places available to Hashers on the bus for this run. The places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. We will use the date and time stamp on the completed form to do this. The form can be accessed using the link in the run description above. Please only sign up if you will definitely attend. We are also required to wear masks on the bus. Do not sign up for the bus if you are not willing to wear a mask, you will not be allowed on the bus if you are not wearing a mask. If you wish to make your own way to the run sight, motorbike, car or taxi, the start point is in the run description and will also be linked on Facebook and Whatsapp.

The 30th Birthday weekend will now be 17th and 18 th October so please remember to save this new date. 

The schedule has yet to be finalised, in true mismanagement style, however the basic outline is as follows. On Saturday afternoon the bus will pick Hashers up from the Caravelle and D2 and take us to Dong Nai for an amazing trail set by Turn Off and Shithouse. On Saturday evening the celebration will continue at a yet to be determined location. On Sunday there will be a recovery run set by Fukcoffee and Sexy Eyes, with Hashers making their own way to the start point followed by an On On at a restaurant at the run site. For those needing more than 2 runs per weekend the Monday Hash is always very pleased to welcome Sunday Hashers and  the Harriettes have decided they 'can be bothered' to do a run on the Friday in District 2. 

We are looking for someone to take over the role of Hash Habberdash. please send an email to saigonmmc@gmail.com, or speak to me, if you are interested in this position.

For those of you keen to learn the songs please check out our song sheet here, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D6A_G0Z-D_VqzriVphQW-t7H_LfhOnfJ/view?usp=sharing.

That's all for this week, I look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Until then stay safe, wear your mask and wash your hands.

The Saigon Hash Hump

All current, past and future Hashers and their guests are welcome to the Hash Hump. There are two of these amazing events to attend every WEDNESDAY in District 2, at Le Bacoulos, 13 Tong Huu Dinh. Start at 17h (5 pm) until....... Cold drinks and good food at decent prices.

The Hump is a Saigon Hash event, designed to break the long period between Hash runs. There are no rules, so you can call Hashers by their name or Hash handle, drink with your left hand or right hand, stand or sit in a circle, semi-circle, ellipse or square and no need to sit on ice if you arrive after the started start time. In short, the Hump will be easy and relaxed and everybody is welcome.
