Hello ,

Our next Run #1549 1st Hash Away 2020

The Hash bus ready to come back and so we plan to take full advantage of the opportunity to escape the city for the first time since the lock down began. We will be heading down to the Dinh mountain for a Hash Away. This is definitely not an opportunity to be missed but if you haven't singed up already you have missed your chance as the places have been filled. You can put your name down on the waiting list by contacting Sloe Gin. (email: Trinhtruongcdha@gmail.com).

News from your GM

Thank you to everyone who turned up for the first Hash since the lock down and a special thank you to the plethora of hares, Tootsi Robinson, Deciballs, Just Add Beer and Shithouse, who designed an amazing trail and a beautiful site for our On On. It was amazing to see so many familiar faces and welcome so many virgins. It was especially heartening that everyone turned up early! To read more about the run please scroll down to the run report below.

We are all eagerly looking forward to our trip down to Dinh Mountain which has been so quickly and effectively organised by Sloe Gin. To those Hashers who are unable to join, never fear we are already planning the next one. 

On on,

Sexy Eyes

Last week's Run Report

Run 1548 the AC Commencement Run
Date: 10/05/2020         
Location: Thanh Da Island

A mere 9 weeks since my last (and first) report, we find ourselves gathered in a beautiful restaurant in the lung of Saigon. We paid our dues and admired the scenery and rubbed elbows and were generally very happy to see each again. And we waited and waited for the GM who has after all told us quite sternly not to be late. But it's ok because we had lots to talk about since last we met and so the late arrival of the GM was not much of an issue. 

Hares: Deciballs, Tootsie Robinson and Just Add Beer led the runners. Shithouse herded the walkers.

Inspector Gobshite called the walk the longest walk ever and complained about the warm beer at the Beer stop- but hey- there WAS a beer stop- AND the beer was cheaper than the runners’ beers so you gets what you pays for. It was hot and sweaty so a score of -68 was awarded. 

Lickalotapus was happy to get a free sauna but would have liked a waxing, too. She loved the falsies and enjoyed the friendly dogs and so she gave the run +69. Today’s long awaited Hash therefore garnered a score of plus one! 

RA Broken Seal  called up the Virgins and introduced to the ways of the Hash. 

Tuto came from Paris because of Deciballs- who also made Hong come, but she made Gavin come ( from Canada.). Ngoc from Saigon is here because of ICLL and GM; Carl and Aisling from Scotaland came because of Just Add Beer, and Rourke ( ROURKE) from Wilton, New Hampshire, US, came with Lickalotapus. 

Returners - everybody!

Just Add Beer was awarded his shirt for setting his first Hash trail after 2 runs. 

Charges

All Brits were called in for having a government that has dithered and faffed about despite having advance warning and has the second highest death rate in the world. 

All Vietnamese hashers were called in (as they were 9 weeks ago) for getting it right. 

Inspector Gobshite was recognised for keeping the HashHump  going with virtual Zoom meets. 

Brits were called in again because they deserve the fire of Hell- according to a clergyman who set his own vestments alight. 

Fucoffee charged Easy in easy out for foraging for forbidden fruit. 

Likalotapus, Miss Saigon and Bonnie had new shoes, Likalotapus and Bonnie manfully drank from theirs- after running in them….

Meatsicles charged Shithouse and Just Add Beer for setting too many false trails.

Runny Yolk called in ICLL and SexyEyes because the Hash today started at 3.14. But wait- other latecomers include Barking Mad and Andy; and DrivesMeNuts. 

Ms Saigon thanked all the Hashers who had attended his pre lockdown wedding parties. 

Fucoffee charged Creamy Tulips for being shit at cards and posting a picture on Facebook. 

Sloe Gin dobbed in Fucoffee for paying a ridiculous amount of money for parking at the airport.

Not sure what happened next but the dog peed. Fucoffee and Sloe Gin were charged. 

Haberdasher announced that Bumbags/Fannypacks are for sale. He also has badges and stickers. 

Mr Kien had his naming ceremony. In recognition of his past accomplishments and contributions to equality and world peace, he was welcomed and named Sonic Boomboom. 

Announcements

Sloe Gin announced that there were still places available on the Hashaway. See Facebook page for more details. 

We enjoyed a lovely ONON meal together at the Quoi Que Tooi Restaurant. Lovely!

That's all for this week.

Gobbler signing off.
