WOEFULL

The WOEFULL had a hash on a rare Monday in April.  Partially due to the Worm getting side-swiped by an anti-eco warrior.  The next day, his able-bodied partner, Bird Table was somehow injured.  We suspect that it was due to The Worm's bandages but have no evidence to go on.

 Our next blue moon month isn't until November of next year. Members of the WOEFULL get to add a blue patch to their shirt if they make it to both runs for any month that has two full moons. We get a white patch sewn on for every 13 runs.

MOOLOO

March 16-17 - Mr Magoo's fishing weekend was probably a bit more subdued than usual. Us 4 Mooloo hussies being the only ones to catch any fish was probably not helpful to lifting morale after Chopper's passing. But we had a great time and we did share our kahawai leftovers with Sir Cream A Lot!

A good attendance at the Raglan weekend. 

AGM was  21st September. Eastside Tavern 1pm.  Big day including pub crawl in bus. A fantastic day/night out. Pub crawl by bus for our AGPU. Lil Miss arranged a great scavenger hunt with heaps of laughter. GM Hardlygavehimsum returned for another year.  Dingo to take over next year.

CHRISTCHURCH

We had our Annual Duck run mid October at The Groynes, where we throw our rubber ducks in the river and follow them to the finish line. Ding-a-Ling was the winner this year. 

RA Games held annually were held in April by the RA being 5F's which after a short run the games consisted of egg throwing, tug-o-war, sack races. A few injuries and bruises to show after a very competitive night!

 May the 4th be with you!! CH2H3 held their AGM on 4th May being a Stars Wars theme.  20+ Hashers turned up Avebury House for a fun filled night. There were a few Princess Leias, a Clone Trooper, a Revan or two, some Darth Vaders and even an Alien. Workshirka clocked up 300 runs and the new Committee was sworn in. The suckers were: GM - STD; JM - 5F's; RA - OO7; Scribe - Navi & Nice Butt; Hash Drays - Beep Beep & EmDef; Habberdashery - RLD.

Many a sore head the next day proved it was yet a great night at another CH2H3 AGM..

DUNEDIN

Sirloin and Lippy just back from week in Rarotonga.  No rest for Daisy over there. 

Dunedin Hashers Sirloin, Lippy , Shorty,  Cock Cooker and Flat on Your Back attended the  annual  Southern Flyers Riverton Sunday run. Whitebait fritters (More like steaks) were served pre run along with plenty of beer. The run was not arduous but a gentle wander around Riverton then a swim in the sea.

1400th run held July 7th

 SOUTHERN FLYERS - INVERCARGILL

Riverton Run from Brewer - We had a Hash walk, grogs etc at our holiday home at Riverton Rocks on Sunday, 24 March. We do this annually in February/March and Sirloin spotted it on our Facebook page. As it was Otago anniversary day on the Monday he, Lippy and Shorty came down in their bus and stayed the night at Riverton. Another two Dunedin hashers also came for the afternoon (their names elude me at the moment). All up we had just on 20 there, good food, drinks and fun – including a swim in the sea over the road from the house for about five!!! Finally ended about 10 pm with a couple of our hashers helping Sirloin finish a bottle of whiskey in his bus. All in all a great day! Only loose plans at this stage but it is likely we will meet the Dunedin hashers somewhere half way between Invercargill and Dunedin later in the year for a night.

 Updatefrom Kasper - our annual mid-winter walkabout took place on 22 July. This was a special Curry night at the home of Rangoon Rider & Dr Cullen. Hashers were asked to bring along their best curry dish. Rangoon also put on a slideshow of Hash events of the past 10+ years; the photos prompted some reminiscing from those present.

A special Rugby World Cup night was held on 7 October at Brewer's. All Hashers picked a country that was participating in the RWC and had to either wear some clothing that was indicative of or present an item about or bring along the national dish of their chosen country.

Our annual Christmas run was a BBQ held on 16 December in Brewer's garage; everyone was to wear something Christmassy and bring along a gift for Santa's sack. The Hussies played a game of the female edition of Cards Against Humanity. The night ended with some Hashers being driven around the streets of Invercargill looking at houses that had Christmas lights on display.

 Recent visit by NZGM Shunter along with 2Jugs and fellow travellers Humpy and Perky.  2Jugs celebrated in the circle when the Pub shouted not only 2 jugs of beer, but 2 jugs of water

CHRISTCHURCH /GARDEN CITY

Blackball Weekend 15-17 March. Hosted by Wee Knackers at Blackball.   A great weekend again thanks to Knackers and philup (who catered two weddings on Saturday while Knackers sorted us out.

Good trip over with observations about the amount of scree on the mountains. Much more erosion than I remember!! Bloody traffic lights each side of Arthurs and then a detour on gravel after Brunner. However, the highlight there was the Jack Hill school miniature bungalow built by students (young) in the 1930’s rather than them just doing the three R’s.

A trooper of an evening preceded by a cook up for self, Triple S, RLD and cuddles on the famous Dagy Webber. A night of playing and singing and drinking on the balcony of the Hilton with no one feeling any pain (apart from when I tried to sing)

Saturday morning and a race up to the community hall to meet Ivan the Mancunian, fresh off his bike. (You had to be there….why were you not???) Cooked up a storm with Knackers then cleaned up and a live hare (Dingaling) dishing out a good run although second half predictable once we started. (According to The Missing Linc)

Sat avo and a shower followed by a good session of music with Bolyx, Vomi, self and Tucker Fucker. Joined later by FFFFF on the vocals. A raucous end before dinner and then a waddle down to the club for the evening and dancing to a not bad rock band.

Breaky Sun and a repeat of Sat morn before a wee walk, circle and fare thee wells.

A top weekend! Thanks to Wee Knackers and philup, Ding and STD for doing the money and patches.

Nash Hash for some booze and everyone for making it a top weekend. .
