Wellington Hash had their annual Memorial run on the 31st of January – an A to B run attended by about 40 hashers.

“A” is the Whenu Tapu cemetery at Plimmerton and “B” is Porkbox’s house down on the waterfront at Pukerua Bay.

Prick of the week writes the trash and so follows the write up of relatively new hasher Penguin.

W were joined for the evening by two Mount Maunganui Hash members: Macwatt and Kahluis. After we had a toast to the 19 members who have passed on (thanks to Porkbox for arranging the ceremony) we took off through what might have been a graverobbers’ entry to the cemetery, heretofore only known to Porkbox.

A pleasant walk through some shady bush, across a railway track, then a fence, then a bog to fill our shoes with mud… then uphill. Then another bog and some fences - but always uphill. The trail was a bit obscure in places along the way and, early in the climb, the hounds were spread out over several spurs and gullies –we all seemed to realise that the trail ultimately led upwards. Out onto the top of the ridge into what had to be very balmy weather for this part of the country and then along to the marked descent point. Porkbox had put in some hard yards with a shovel to prepare a goat track down the hill to the beach. The weather was superb and the Piss-stop at the beach near Wairaka Rock was a welcome conclusion to the climbing.

Back at Porkbox’s front yard the usual stories were told while Tammy cooked the meat and Ayotollah and his henchmen Sproggy and Capt’n Cook dished out the fines. Notable fines (from my perspective) went to the characters that weren’t wearing a hash shirt.

DT demonstrated that truth should not get in the way of a good story - so you should all (except DT) be worried about being in line for POW award next Hash.

Z pier to Rangitoto ‘Dio, do you need a hand with the tucker? I could ask 111 to do a coleslaw if it would help.’ I suppose I should have asked her first….. but I was happy to do it myself if necessary. It didn’t seem right for Dio to do the lot by himself or with Gladwrap who has always helped in the past. Nellie had the booze sorted and Captain had his big munitions containers and ice, so all was well. The only thing I had to organize was myself and that proved to be a mission. I opened my hash bag and discovered some of the gear was reluctant to leave the interior. It seemed to be glued in place. Further investigations revealed that an energy gel left in the bag from marathon days (expiry date circa 2015) had expired itself, exited the packet and proceeded to glue the gear into the bag. Nothing a bit of hot water couldn’t fix but we put this crap into our systems…. So we used 111’s bag. Sorted. Where are my runners? Found eventually, by 111, and we’re off to Z pier. I’m clearly starting to lose it. Regular readers are in little doubt. Good crowd turned out with good representations from most of the packs: Woeful, North Shore, Norwest, Hussies and Mangawhai. Excellent. Helped by Wot Wife bringing the Brown clan with partners. 37 on board one of the smaller boats. Would have been 38 but Bwana missed the boat. New skipper and crew – happy enough and a good set up. Magpie and Plunder considering the gut buster via McKenzie Bay. A couple of wines on the trip out persuaded them it was a bad idea. Onto the wharf and it was time for a group grope/photo op as per GM’s instructions. Photographer Nellie given instructions re fingers over lenses. On we go and the pack heads for the dunnies. Demon claimed he was using unisex facilities, but the female shrieks of indignation indicated they disagreed. The pack split between the Summit track and the Islington Bay track – none had the urge to do the gut buster. It was a take your own brew to the top job as the rangers have all changed and we haven’t been able to bribe them with a dozen to cart the bins up. We were led up by Old Ram, Utzi, Bush Banger, Dio, Phantom, Fifty Shades and Toejob. Old Ram and Utzi were the first two to the top to enjoy the drizzle and cloud but no view. Not sorry it wasn’t baking hot as I was buggered. Trip down was a different story. Old Ram should have been the first down, but he took a wrong turn and was headed back down to the wharf. He was put right by some of the slower pack members and ended up doing a kilometre more than the rest of us. Good quick run down following Fifty Shades most of the way and picking up the walkers down near the bottom. I arrived at the wharf and there’s something missing. No boat. According to 111 they stopped for a fish. Magpie was the first Hussie in, and she was sporting an injury, Broke her fall with an elbow. Demon arrived with the first aid kit and he, Weeek and Woody formed an A&E unit while we waited for the boat. Demon was well into his work with his MASH kit ‘Demon, is it true you’re also a keen amateur gynecologist?’ ‘Yes, I enjoy looking up me old mates.’ He then proceeded to tell me about his latest colonoscopy appointment. Way too much information even for the scribe. The skipper had a few issues tying up – the off shore breeze not helping – but soon enough we were boarding for a well-earned beer. Flipper flopped himself down on one of the munitions boxes. Demon reckoned he must have completed an apprenticeship. ‘How’s that?’ ‘Well, he’s showing a bloody great builder’s crack!’ Usual wait for the back markers with Arkles and Nellie sweeping all were accounted for so we started the tucker without them. There was more than enough food with Dio providing a big ham. We even had dessert – fruit salad and ice cream with sugar donuts. Athlete’s soul food. Fines The GM did the intro then handed over to the RA Demon was up first. He might have gotten away with trying to use the wrong dunny, and possibly his desire to look up old mates, but the final straw was offering Weeek the kiss of life for a blister….. ‘Balls to Mr Banglestein….’ Mrs Brown’s boys, girls and partners were called up along with Wot Wife – Mr Brown. He wasn’t the only Mr Brown on board and Violet was called up to join them. You can see the resemblance; he has arms and legs too. ‘How many queers can you grab by the ears in and old and English garden….’ Michelle and Alex were called up as virgins. Alex protested that he had been to Mangawhai so wasn’t technically a virgin – to no avail – as many hussies can confirm, you might not be a virgin, but could be to Auckland Hash. ’They ought to be publicly……’ Magpie was called up for an environmental offence. She fell over trying to read a sign and left blood on the rocks of Rangitoto. Demon got very excited being able to use the First Aid kit. We all have to have a reason to live…. ‘B-I-M-B-O…’ Flipper was fined to celebrate coming out – of his builder’s apprenticeship – which allowed him to display his builder’s crack while keeping the munitions box with all the booze in it firmly shut. ‘Arsehole….’ Old Ram clearly dehydrated, became confused and was busy running back to the Rangitoto Wharf from whence we had just come. If it hadn’t been for Selena as a back marker informing him of the error of his ways he would have had a very long run ‘You’re stupid…’ Weeek copped a fine for changing her socks mid run and still getting a blister. It remains a mystery as to how Demon’s ‘kiss of life’ was going to heal Weeek’s blister, but the power of human imagination/inspiration should never be underestimated ‘Arsehole….’ Next Week’s Run As Hussies restart this week it’s back to being a men’s run.

Please say On On to everyone and we promise to be there for your 800th run, not far away. See you then, if not before. All the best.

Apologies from One Behind and Two in Front ; Okaye and Max - One Behind and Max were looking forward to wearing their kilts!

Teazmaid led a tribute to BOI Hash

Ist run in Kawakawa. 2007. Many from out of town. Only a few locals including BOI Hash founders Pokin out, Moogabee, who had moved to Kerikeri from Tauranga and myself (TEAZY)

Hashers from Auckland, Whakatane and Mount Maunganui hash.

The Run was around Kawakawa including a drink stop at the famous toilets. Our logo is the toilet.

We had drinks and dinner at the restaurant in Opua-Blue Waters-owned by Keyless (hasher ex Whakatane) and her brother. Just opened, still wet bar top.

Party continued at Shepherds Road. Details all a bit hazy

Memorable runs- I know there are more.

Our first weekend camp, with visitors.

111 Emergency run at Wainui Bay. Hashers went through a pre entry camp medical check

.

Special run #222 Tea cup on Patch (John Key and John Banks had a public cup of tea)

Weekend at Lonsdale-again many visitors-from Auckland, and Whakatane. Was during the election voting night and some disappeared to get result.

Agpu 2011- outwit, outplay, outlast (Survivor)

Shipwreck theme at Puketi forest

Aroha Island #300th - nautical theme

- someone fell off the hash toilet and our kiwi watching outing was unsuccessful, think the shusshung was too loud.

Mahinepua #400th

Annual Leo Run for a few years in conjunction with BOI hashes as quite a few born under that star sign.

Numbers grew, some hashers of other chapters coming to the area, some virgin recruits-a small number of whom stayed for a short and some for a long while. We hashed in Whangarei when numbers were too low one winter and joined them for ON ON week ends too.

We went to a few AGPU away weekends

At Nash Hash 2015, we put our hand up / arms twisted more like - to host NASH HASH 2017

A lot of hard work, many hours finding what turned out to be the perfect venue and countless hours in the two years organizing 320 hashers from all over the world, caterers, trails, entertainment, drinks, goody bags and other bits and pieces.

It was all worth the effort as it was a fabulous weekend and still being talked about, especially the Bland Bay venue and the helicopter drink delivery and public flights.

# 500th Run was celebrated from the St James Church Kemp Hall, the Monday after NASH HASH - the biggest BOI Hash attendance.

A crowd of us went to Fiji INTER HASH 2018

More recently our Tropical AGPU night last year and tonight's Haggis night and #750th Run acknowledgment celebration

Top Run numbers : Screw loose 491 +1 Knose 462+1 Tight Bolt 460+1

Numbers have sometimes dwindled a bit but as the saying goes quality not quantity and we have always kept going.

Once a hasher always a hasher. May the trails and get togethers be filled with friends and the beer always cold and may we together raise a glass to 750 Runs old.

Knose added: His first run with BOI Hash, was in Russell. Knose ventured off to chat up a friend and missed the return ferry. He was duly awarded the original blue DoW cap.

The Robbie Burns celebration continued with Blackbeard piping Ebeneezer, Magic and Cannibal around in a parade with the Quiach.

Ebeneezer read a Scottish Robbie Burns ode to the haggis, and he wield a large knife into the haggis. Ebeneezer had also baked the haggis, neeps and tatties, a carrot and parsnip dish as well as a pumpkin dish.

After our unnamed guest recited grace in Latin, we were treated to the Scottish Burns feast.

Shuttle did not show up, but she provided the yummy steam puddings and a trifle.

Black Beard, with his bag pipes, serenaded the late night as we polished off the whiskey.

Thanks for a memorable and pleasurable night, Magic and Cannibal, Ebeneezer, Black Beard and Shuttle.

Winter Camp kicked off on Friday the 13th with various meet ups on the journey to Wainui. Hilltop tavern being the last and most scenic.

With a fully registered camp it was a tight squeeze to allocate beds for the 80 or so attendees.

Kegs of Speights and Dark were soon flowing and the 1st of many top meals produced. Theme of the night was “Masks” although this didn’t kick in until the 11pm “ Masked Hash run”.

11pm and assembling in the main dining entertainment hall the pack set off. Thanks to the levels of inebriation many of the pack lost trail before even getting out of the rambling complex of rooms, hallways and stairways. Those who did make it out found trail up a slippery track and across and back to the other end of the Complex.

Back in the main hall we found Dagy questioning why we were not still at the Piss-stop. Apparently SSS was waiting up in the bush with various concoctions of Purple death and other delights. Despite Dagy’s urging no one actually found SSS and he eventually avoided hyperthermia by coming back to the hall where the PS concoctions were enjoyed in warmth and comfort.

Saturday morning and a gloriously sunny morning but it was a slow start in the dining hall. Grumblings of cold showers in the South wing. Dogs turned on one switch and then Tripod tracked down a hot water cylinder cupboard and another off switch. Reports filtering through of an unnamed hussie waking up with a black eye and sore tooth and no memory of what happened. Mystery solved when CC appeared wearing a mask.

Run set for 11ish. But then the weather turned Dunkirk and run start delayed until midday with committee discussions on how to proceed in the pouring rain. Eventually we assembled and off we went. Stuff up early in the run and only 6 hashers made it to Piss-stop one. The main pack headed off down the road towards the beach, totally unaware we had missed the loop to PS1. Once again SSS, manning a PS and he has lost the pack. Well 6 hashers appearing is an improvement on none.

PS 2 was far more successful. A plentiful supply of Speights and other cans plus some 12% beer that according to He’ll Keep was “horrible”. A small number of runners including RV, Macwatt and Kahluis headed up a track into the hills ignoring calls to return to base.

Back at the ranch and it was a very entertaining circle kicked off by Garden City’s Klingon, Mole and Dagy. Birdtable (NZGM) joined in the fun and finally it was fines from the floor and lost property. Mole presented with an impressive drinking receptacle for a milestone with Garden City. He was also reunited with his long lost Mole Junior.

Lunch and rest time followed. Well drinks time for many.

Into the evening and the Hash band of FFFF, Dagy, Bolyx, Mimi, 007 and Xerox warmed up the crowd as the main band were setting up. Dinner was catered and plentiful and the band started after this. Lots of dancing into the am hours. 10pm was the little known but long standing RLD, Jabberwocky and IQ’s crackers and salsa dip run. This included an attempt on the most hashers crowded into a shower room record.

Sunday and another glorious morning, but this time it stayed glorious. Breakfast and cleaning up. Then a short recovery run in sunshine with circle led by Lipsplitter. And Birdtable.

Some good downdown songs kicked off by Revs, TLS and Fire N Da Ho.

Mole objected to being referred to as Big Mole - helpful suggestions of Fat fuck Mole and Obese Mole. His objections centred around having recently lost 15kg which, he noted, had been found by FnFFFF.

Downdowns for all the Winter Camp virgins and Lisa was named as “Snatch”. Stompa confirmed as Stompa ( Fucking Stompa in polite company).

Garden City committee thanked for an excellent weekend. Klingon, KTT, Vasie, Fn Stompa, Dagy, Fingers, Lipsplitter, Mole, SSS. And helpers Oxy and Missing Linc.

AGPU 14 24 July 2021

Held at St James Church Hall, Kerikeri at 1850 hours.

Present: Black Beard, Magic Roundabout, Srew Loose, Robin Hood, Tight Bolt, Duncan, TMO, Teazemaid, Cannibal, Cockroach, Ebeneezer, One Behind, Two in Front, Knose, Stroker, Cuntry Member.

Plus Visitors Lesley and Tracey.

Apologies: Red Baron, Snoopy, Brave Heart, Shuttle, Vietnam Vet.

The Run

No sooner had we all found parking at Blackbeard's abode on Monday and word was out that the run was on. Down to the waterfront for the runners and up the driveway for the walkers. Quite a few minutes later, Cockroach caught up, she'd missed the announcement. On on up Landing Road past the roundabout to the corner of Mission Road for our first check.

After several runs set by Blackbeard over the years and many of us getting lost, or running out of, or beyond trail; Tight Bolt decided to back check from the check and so it was, ON ON down Edkins Road. Some didn't trust the back check and made their way to the Stone Store basin, more directly. Another check on Edkins Road had us re running a check and eventually on on down the Falls track to the stone store basin and the PS. The trail home past the Pa, was mostly ignored!

We made ourselves comfortable around the table and were upstanding for the circle. Most fines were for BB and his trail which was rated 9

A BIG THANK YOU to Adrian whose cooking and baking certainly was a "good feed".

Annual Report: From our GM. He thanked those who did most of the work behind the scene, mainly Magic Roundabout. Also remarked this year was different as it was the first time a Hash Run was abandoned because of the wet weather and then its re-run a few weeks later was postponed until Wednesday because of the wet weather forcasted. Asked are we getting soft? He considered us a truly magnificent Run, Walk, Eat and Drink Club.

Election of Officers for the next year. Black Beard nominated Robin Hood for GM. Knose nominated Tight Bolt as she was the longest standing member who had never held the post. Much discussion was held and it was decided they should be GM/ RA over the next two years and to share the jobs between themselves. Magic Roundabout had done such a good job as the Hash Cash she should continue to hold that post. Beer Master position to be held by Black Beard.

So the new committee is Robin Hood and Tight Bolt, (GM and RA), Magic Roundabout (Hash Cash) and Black Beard (Beer Master) It was decided that Haberdashery position was not needed.

Financial Report: $1266 in the bank, however the expenses for AGPU will lower that amount by several hundred dollars. A final total will be announced once all payments have been made.

General Business: The new committee is to discuss the form and arrangements of rewards for significant number of runs by individuals. This meeting to be held soon as some members are approaching 500 runs.

Meeting closed at 1920 hours.

After Note: Knose was awarded a down down for his Tropical Dress (Rarotongan Grass skirt and bra) and TMO was awarded for being dressed the most different from his normal Monday night attire.

The upcoming Monday Run is to be arranged by the new GM’s.

The evening was a great success and enjoyed by all those present and a BIG thank you to Magic Roundabout and Cannibal for doing most of the work organising plus thanks to Duncan for cooking the fabulous ham. The Monday Run is to be arranged by the new GM’s.

Dunedin hash 1500th - Saturday 19th June

$50 covered drinks on the run at the 2 beer stops, food on the run at the beer stops, food at the Carisbrooke Hotel at around dinner time and again at supper time, food and drink at the Sunday Recovery Run plus probably a 1500th Patch or Yellow vest.

1-00pm Run started with the 80 odd hashers almost entirely made up of walkers. Runners – Muffdiver, Edaname ? Lots of visitors. Xerox brought up the rear as he looked after one of the not so well sighted Wellington guys. The 1st PS was at an idyllic spot on the waterfront. Here Real Deal was to earn a temporary Hash name of Bollard crasher. Plenty of beers and with the pack back together it was off past the Dunedin Railway Station and off up various steep streets and up into Jubilee Park. From there the trail wound over nearly 8km to a house PS - Sirloin and Lippy’s ? A packed garage with more beers and filled rolls to munch on. From there it was on back to the Hotel - a total distance travelled of around 11km for much of the pack. Many took up a short cut option from PS 1.

Circle at the Pub with RA Tastes like Shit leading the way. A few fines from Birdtable and fines from the floor. Plenty of songs. A strategic photo of one hashers rumpled backside led to another temporary Hash name of “Gae rasher “

Then it was into the dinner a fine array of old style tasty bits and pieces - touch shit for vegetarians of which there appeared to be none of thankfully. The locals did well out of this bountiful supply of food as leftovers were spread around. Dinner over and it was kick off time for the Trans tasman super final. Not such a good result for the locals.

Sunday 20th 11-00am recovery Run from Lippy and Sirloin’s attended by about 25 hasher who adjourned to a yum cha luncheon.

A great Hash weekend - thanks to Sirloin, Lippy, Dunedin GM ? Tastes like Shit, Comes on the Ceiling and any other Dunedin workers.

The 50th was a top night. Thanks to Dio for the albums and Loose Change for the photo booth. The sign that Listerean organized was an absolute cracker and he also organized the Spotify music. Good skills GM. The Hash flag was unable to be located. Last seen at Bighorn’s 1000th.

The photograph albums had many of the guests checking out the past.

Jubes has photos of Max and Sharkbait’s wedding, 7 Up and OFG’s nuptials, one of Butcher in a barrel and a lot of Hugo, Obs, Bananas and Gravy all of whom are sadly no longer with us.

Butcher is of course, still very much still with us. The photographic record Jubes has left us is terrific and it’s a pity we haven’t maintained records of subsequent years.

A lot of good photos of the Manukau Hash with Gonzo and Listerean (looking very chic) in much younger years.

There’s even a couple of newspaper clippings, one of Bananas and Demon’s rescue and a photo and article by Phil Gifford when he ran with the pack.

The night brought out some interesting memories as they include the Hussies, Manukau and a lot of Nash Hash and Inter Hash. Within the photograph albums was a photocopy of Titijig with a vibrator in hand. She was a good sport and took a fine for it – I’m sure she’ll speak to me again – eventually.

Good to see that Mongo was well enough to make the night. His kidneys have been giving him some strife, so it was pleasing that he was able to join us.

Nomad kicked off at 1pm Saturday although there were some pre lubes with about 20 hashers gathering in Taupo to join resident hasher Red Riding Hood, and also the organisers and friends set up shop at “Timeout” on the Friday night.

Saturday was assembling and set up camp day. Campervans, tents and cabins all over the place. Timeout is at altitude so the balmy temperatures of Napier were just memories with about 12 degrees and a cold wind. But there was heaps of firewood to keep the 3 outside drums going and the inside fire. Also the Mimi led chef team supplied a couple of warming soups. Over 80 hashers in attendance including a good contingent from the South Island and the far north travellers Magic and Cannabal. A welcome appearance of SomeMothers and Claws who easily took out the “Biggest vehicle” prize (if there was one).

Lots of drinking through the afternoon and into the evening. Bowls out on the lawn with Mole showing his representative experience on a rather rough green. Great evening meal and later snacks. Sky TV in the main lounge so the rugby watchers were able to watch the 2 trans tasman games. Not so good for Hurricanes fans. The Hash band led by Xerox, Crabstick and others took over later.

Sunday started with the clearing up of all the empty bottles from the night before and breakfast. Mongo and Feefifofum were dispatched in Mongo’s truck with about 40 cases of empty beer stubbies with aims to replenish the meagre full stocks remaining at the camp. Late morning was the scheduled main “run” with head hare Xerox heading off about 11am with 2 fellow hares. A good solid 8km for the runners and about 5km for the walkers. Good use of the limited terrain (no bush bashing possible) with a couple of out and back loops. Plenty of beer at the Piss-stop and then 1.5km back to the ranch.

A breather and it was into the main Circle. Kicking off the circle was Xerox, followed by NZGM Birdtable and then fines from the floor. Revs was in fine voice with the songs. A drinking contraption caused some hilarity as victims tried to drink from the swinging glass.

After the Circle the cocktail party started with Empha holding court. Into the night and there was another fine meal served up, more rugby, the disco tent and the various fire drums that served as drinking stations.

Monday was recovery run morning and clean up. Another wind up circle and the Wellington Hash - Tripod, Deepthroat, ABC, He’ll Keep, High Heels and Porkbox winning the nod (from a field of one) for organising Nomad 2022. Details to come

A top weekend hosted by Wee Knackers and Filler. Plus committee’s of both Garden City and Christchurch.

Friday arvo saw a convoy of vehicles and bikes meeting at Sheffield Pies then driving through Arthur’s Pass to Blackball. Some rendezvous point pubs turned out to be closed but the final one was open and it was beers and snacks in the sunshine as the America’s Cup yachts warmed up on TV. Friday night and the festivities centered on the Blackball Hilton. Here the beers flowed and the Hash band led by Dagy played into the small hours. Saturday morning and it was breakfast at the Community Centre with run start at 11am. Wee Knackers dazzled the 50 plus hashers with his splendid array of Trail signs including the new double check back. The infirm were sent off on a wander round town while the 40 or so athletes piled into 3 vans for a 10 minute drive into the country. Drop off and another complicated set of instructions. The 1st runners loop turned out to be 3km up a hill to the dreaded double check back, which took runners back to the initial runners walkers split. All trails led to a fantastic river swimming hole, complete with dodgy high bank for the dare devils to jump off. The piss cut and snacks consumed and another complicated set of van ferrying back to the Village green for lunch and Circle. Circle kicked off by Wee Knackers and then run by the Christchurch and Garden City RA’s and GMs Dingaling, STD, Navigator, RLD and Dagy. Lots of singing and laughter in the sunshine. From there it was back for more yacht races and rugby watching plus general hash drinking until the evenings entertainment at the Working Mens Club. Meal again provided by Mr and Mrs Wee Knackers. DJ Kareoke was the nights entertainment. The bar was set very low initially by a couple of very pissed locals, one of whom thought he was singer and the other a stripper. Eventually the cream of the Hash came through with voices like Mimi, Hornie, Dominetrix, KTT, Bolyx, Joe 90 and He’ll Keep. Again West Coast licensing hours. Sunday another cold misty start to the day with breakfast by Wee Knackers and Fillup and then warm sunshine for the recovery stroll to the disused mine down the road. Another entertaining circle and it was stumps. Wee Knackers announced that the 10 year anniversary weekend would be March 11 to 13 2022. Well done that man.

A fantastic week long celebration of Hashing in New Zealand. Nearly 200 hashers attended the main Nash Hash event hosted by Pania Hash at the Hastings showground over Friday to Sunday 5 to 7 Feb.

But many of these hashers also took in various road trip Hash events leading to NH21. For those coming up from the South Island the start was Takaka HHH 50th run on Sat 30th with around 30 hashers. Next day was Nelson HHH and then across the ditch to Wellington hosting over 60 hashers on the Monday. Then up to Energy HHH in New Plymouth for the Tuesday run and Taupo for Wednesday. Thursday was the every popular Fat Catz run from Tikotino. Friday afternoon was the Red Dress run at Clive raising money for a local special needs school.

For those coming FROM the North, there was the 100th run at Maungawhai, followed by runs hosted by Woeful and Mooloo hashes. Many of these attendees then joined the main road trip at Taupo or Fat Catz

Friday evening kicked off the main event. Saturday heralded the main runs around the iconic Te Mata Peak. Spectacular views as well as lovely bush tracks. Head hare Likka had been planning this for years. Back to the showgrounds in the afternoon for the drinking competitions and games. A top local band has hashers dancing into the night. Sunday was recovery run and meetings to elect the next NH venue (Takaka) and incoming NZGM - Birdtable. The official close down was followed by the unofficial cocktail party for the stayers. Well done Pania Hash, especially Likka, Metal, Petal, Shunter, 2 Jugs and MB.

Friday 27th November

Pub Golf . - 6 pubs over about 5km formed the course for Pub golf with hashers divided into teams of 3 or 4 and sent off with scorecards. Pints were the drink of choice, with one skull being a hole in one. Weather added an extra dimension as the formerly warm sunny day turned into a cold windswept rainy evening. More than one Uber was called upon for the less clothed. The free barbeque at Gasworks was very popular. The 6th and final hole was Seatoun RSA where a supper was served. Drinking into the night. All the old Hash books on display

Saturday 28th

11am 2000th run. Cold front had passed through and it was a lovely Wellington day. Although numbers looking thin until a few vehicles rolled in with various hashers stumbling out looking the worse for wear. Recycled Virgin welcomed the Hash and gave instructions on the 3 options for the day - Walk (Hare – Handle), Long run (Corpuscle) and Ballbreaker (RV). The usual mixed messages. More confusion on the run as the runners tried to sort out which was the BB and which was the LR. Eventually it was about 14km for the BB and 12k for the LR with the walkers doing much less and being at the Breaker Bay PS (and lunch) well before the runners trickled in. Lunch and beers with the initial supplies running out and emergency rations whistled up. Back to Seatoun RSA and circle up. RV ran the circle with the Committee acknowledged and the various Capital weekly awards given out before a representation of RA’s - Sharkey, Mimi, Shunter, Rigid, Toyboy, Sir Creamalot had a go before fines from the floor. Songs led by Fire, Hornie and MB. The evening consisted of the usual Hash frivolity interspersed by dinner and rugby watching. A couple of Hash jukeboxes.

Sunday 29th

Recovery run and circle which went ahead after another night cold front has passed through. Well done Capital hash. 2000 runs completed in just over 39 years.

We had a great 2020 bash at Waipu Cove Camp. We hosted 40 Hashers from all over the North Island. Hashers from Wellington, Tauranga, Napier, Auckland, Levin, Mangawhai and Whangarei. A big Run-walk set by Long John & Pricky (15km) with BBQ and piss stop on the way home. Some party goers had a big session on Friday night and were severely hung over for the run. No names will be mentioned as what goes on at Hash stays at Hash.

A fabulous meal was enjoyed by everyone and even pudding for the sweet toothed hashers.

A big thanks to everyone who helped with the event. I’m sure we will see photos on the face book page.

The usual gradual arrival of the rabble on the Friday
afternoon – chilly bins full and sun shining. Plenty of room for both campers and bed seekers. The camp was venue of Nash Hash 2015. Just on 50 attendees for the weekend.

Visitors included Mee Mee – the only South Islander, DT, Handle, Geestring (Wellington), Comes once, Spurt, Madonner Gawd Knose, Demon (Auckland) and Duph, Gonzo, Noodles, Metal, Petal and Xerox, from central North Island.

A big dent put in the beer supplies that lovely fine evening, as well as practise for some on the beer can bowling alley. Entries taken for the Saturday boat races.

Some drinking far into the early morning with Madonner and Noodles making early claims on loudest Snorers of the weekend.

A big programme for Saturday starting with a fine breakfast cooked up by Mogabe and Pokin in.

A pre run warm up was the blind beer tasting run by 69er. 6 beers to taste with 18 choices available. This became rather tricky as the beer flattened in the jugs.

Run started at 10.30 with runners and walkers splits. Not too onerous a trail, and finishing at a river swimming hole for circle and lunch. Also, shelter, as it turns out, as it pissed down soon after the run finished. Circle led by GM Flossy and RA Humpy. Hornie’s brother Force-it was recognized for his fledging Hash career of 11 runs.

Back to the camp and into the boat races once the rain had eased. The Mount ex-GM’s team triumphant with Crabtree and 69er the speedy anchors. Noone noticed until too late that they were an all male team. Although Bluevain did drink like a girl. The flying fox was started up but Gritty was the only brave one to try it out.

Dinner and into the evening with the Hash band of Crabtree, Perky and Xerox warming up for Queenstown. Harmony backup from Metal and Humpy. Dragon Lady an early casualty, suffering from an ill-advised choice of wine in the boat races.

Sunday morning and another fine breakfast supplied by the cooks. Recovery run round the camp and circle led by Humpy. Bluevain rounded out the circle by giving an update on NZ bid for Interhash. Then the assembled hashers were pressed into service for a video to send to Tobago. The required words for us to chant proved difficult to master – not so for version 2 of “Goa takes it up the arse”. Lubes and Smegma unanimous winners of “Quiet bastards of the weekend”

Well done Mount Hash - a great weekend.

24 rather confused hashers/virgins and simply curious and one pressed German, rocked up to the meeting point to car share to Puffs next adventure. The trail was set on private land, and the owner came along to see what all this hashing business ,was all about and give a spiel and the history of the farm. I explained to the motley crowd, that this was not a run or a walk, rather a ramble, taking in the history as we meandered through the bush, admiring the ancient Puriri, Totora and hashers.

out of the bush  the climbed up the bank to admire an old Maori PA, kumara pits and  listen to our host tell the story of the day the northern visited.

The trail was about an hour long and we ended up in a shady hollow and his Sharkeyness gathered the troops (or should I say crew) to circle around , he welcomed our virgin runners, and especially Nick a German tourist who got out of his campervan to ask directions and was promptly bundled in a car, and taken on the hash walk, he wasnt dissapointed and Puff (thats me) named him 4 minute man, which was about the length of time it took us to press gang him into hashing.

lots of fines , we welcomed Big horn ,now a whangarian.

tight nuts (aka mark) and Cory (who was a bit shy)  and Craig who wasn't and Charmaine. In all every one enjoyed the meander and seeing a bit of Mangawhai a bit off the beaten track.

70 hashers enjoyed the Nelson Hash’s 25 year anniversary and 1500th run on the weekend of 15th to 17th November. 15 from Christchurch, 9 from Wellington, 1 Aucklander, 2 from Napier and the rest from Nelson. 

Most of the trials and tribulations for the weekend started on the Thursday and Friday with slips and car crashes delaying arrival times of the visitors.  Clear winners there were Dagy and Fingers who took 26 hours to make their journey from Christchurch.

 Festivities started on Friday night from 6pm with a gathering at the Postboy Hotel. Buy your own drinks at cheap prices and the hash put on a supper. Hashers from around the country trickled in as the travellers got through the detours, Local Hashers were out in force to welcome them, with a few old faces appearing. Mimi and Vominatrix rocked the bar with some great karaoke while the rest generally just made a lot of noise as the beer and hashing stories flowed freely. Photos were posted on FB till about 1am.

Saturday 10am – 1500th run from Branford Park, Maitai Valley, same location as Deputy Dawg & Gritz had gathered the first bunch of Nelson Hashers 25 years ago for Run #1. We had 5 Hashers running today: WENDY, Princess, DunnerWhy, DunnerIn and RLD who had also run on the first run and quite a few more that had been on the second run.

Well most of us had gathered there - We were still waiting for the beer to arrive. Generally hanging out for a beer at 10am is considered a bad thing, but it was quite common today. Luckily Stroker, Mole and MB turned up in the piss wagon before a lynch mob had formed.

 -  Good weather with the run starting around 10.30ish.  GM Shaggus congratulated the visitors who had made it to the start line despite the Nelson hash’s best efforts to detour them.  Plumley, the most prolific hound in Nelson was the Hare and he demonstrated the hash signs with dog Shadow demonstrating how flour gets licked up.  Enjoyable walk and run with the usual slackers who did neither.   

A few of the Hashers decided not to set their sights too high. Getting to the first check and back was enough for them. However, these Hashers set up a jam session with a couple of guitars and sang of their achievements for the rest of the morning.

Fart was back on the runners trail and back in fine form then his dog refused to run with him, chasing the walkers instead. Walkers and runners split as the trail reached the slopes of the center of NZ hill. Runners headed up then were checked-back over a fence and onto Kaka Hill. An easy run through the sheep paddocks turned serious as trail stopped at an 8ft high deer fence & gate. The front runners were most ungentlemanly as they all clambered over the gate then turned round and just watched as Fire In Da Ho struggled to get under it.

Ring Burner was leading the front runners to the top of the Center of NZ, but then led them right past the Hash Halt without waiting. The other runners enjoyed the view over Nelson as they waited for the stragglers. Trail left the path and went through the scrub for a while. Owlziemer tried to 2nd guess the Hare and ended up having to do a catch-up, but he did catch up by the time the pack reached to Piss Stop at the bottom of the hill.

A rousing circle kicked off by Shaggus with guest spots to NZGM Shunter plus visiting RA’s from Wellington and Christchurch.  Songs led by Fire N Da Ho and Hornie.  Belly button fluff was exchanged by Sticky Willie and new shoes were christened by Eanie Meanie Weanie and Owlzeimer. Best fine for runners by Buttswallower who demonstrated in fine fashion how Fire had tried to slip under a fence that the runners were having to clamber over one by one. She got her legs and torso through but couldn’t squeeze her tits under.  

The afternoon continued with a large bunch of us boarding the mystery bus and leaving the park towards? ? ? ? ?

Saturday 2pm to 6pm – Mystery Bus Tour.  A full bus of over 50 hit the road as the rain set in. But with comfortable craft bars to visit and a dry but alcohol laden bus, who cared.  1st visit was the original McCashin brewery.  Fee Fi Fo Fum made a nuisance of himself trying to help anyone who showed the slighted sign of being unsteady.  Mimi and friends ruled the back of the bus in good mafia fashion.  Stoker softened the mystery a little when his commentary included the next destination, but it was still a surprise for those that weren't listening to him.

So most of the bus had no idea that we would soon pull up at NZ's oldest pub, The Moutere Inn. More pints of craft beer or tasting platters for those that couldn’t decide on one.

Drunkenness steadily increasing although only Buttswallower was denied service at the last bar - The Golden Bear Brewery in Mapua. It was rather ironic that our token American was denied service here since the Golden Bear was started in 2008 by a fellow American, Jim from L.A. who moved here to “show the Kiwis how to make good beer”.

The bus trip ended at Smugglers Bar in Tahuna, most of the Hashers had a pint or twohere, but then groups separated and did whatever they felt like – or just went home for a sleep.

Sunday 10am – 3pm Social gathering and lunch at Tasman Bay Cruising Club.

A very pleasant gathering with lots of Nelson hash memorabilia on display.  Walk round the waterfront and final circle at a rotunda by the yacht harbour where port and green ginger wine were served up by the lovely barmaids Hornie and Wrench-it.

Back just in time for lunch and the circle which focused on the Hashers that had come and gone over the last 25 years.  Sir Teddy Bare particularly entertaining. 

Great turnout! Great People! Great weekend!!!
