Namings on Tap

Just Matt L has hared and
has 4 trails, so he is expected to
be named next time he shows up.
We also have Just Matt S who already has 4 hashes. Once he hares, he'll be named. Just Diana has 3 trails, so she'll need to get on the hare schedule to be named sometime soon. |
| How does one get named? | One should have 5 PRH3 hashes and hare at least once prior to being named. ... Or do something really, really stupid. |

Sounds almost illegal, doesn't it? But really, it may be the perfect
combination of exercise, social interaction and, well, beer. We are
runners and walkers,
but without a great emphasis on speed. Hence the slogan "Drinkers with a running problem". (Maybe it should be "Drinkers with a bi-pedal
locomotion problem", as several members walk rather than run.) Let me explain...
The Original Hash House Harriers...
I n 1938, A.S. Gispert, an accountant working at a Malaysian rubber plantation
organized a group of his friends for runs to work off the rigors of the
weekend. They met at the Sanegal Hash House (hash house being a British term
for a diner), and there, played the poor man's version of the fox hunt, the
"Paper chase." This involved giving one runner a few minutes head start, then
following the trail of discarded paper left by the fleeing man. "G" (er,
Gispert), added a twist; at various points in the trail, an intersection was
set. Trail could head off in any direction, but only one direction was 'true'.
Faster runners were slowed as they solved the trail, allowing slower runners
and walkers to catch up. The Hash House Harriers were born.
Is it for me?
Distance and Territory
The trail can be one of the most exciting parts of a hash run. Rather than
running laps around a local track, be prepared to run or walk through fields, woods or
jungle, ford streams and jump fences. You may even run into some briars, so be
protected!! Your time on trail might be 45 minutes to an hour and a half. But
relax, this doesn't mean flat out sprinting, (you might often be waiting at an
'intersection' for others to find a way), and there is always a
refreshing 'beer check' halfway through the trail. Each week the hashes start and end in different places. No
boring tracks here.
Sex
Yes, please. Oops ... er ... Hashing is generally for both males and females,
but because we sometimes end the runs in taverns, Hashing is sometimes
restricted to adults (18 and over) depending on the Hash. The hash is a fun
group, but far from politically correct. We have drinking songs, mostly stolen
from the rugby teams, which would make many respectable people blush. A good
sense of humor is the hash's only real requirement.
The Down-Down:
After finishing the trail, the Down-Down commences. The Down-Down is both the
celebration at the end of the trail, and the award handed out to hashers
guilty of some mis-deeds. A Down-Down is a cup of drink, be it beer, soda or
water, awarded by the Hash Master or Religious Advisor for trail infractions,
anniversaries, or any other reason. A drinking song accompanies each, it is
all great fun.
How do I Join?
Show up. A nominal fee is charged per person to help with the cost of the
refreshments. If you attend the On-After (dinner party after the run), you
are expected to pay for your own food. There is no annual fee or commitment. Show
up as seldom, or often, as you like. Keeping in mind that missing two hashes
in a row (known as "back sliding") is cause for a down-down...
One final note...
This hash requests that you
be at least 18 years old
to participate or let your
parent who accompanies you make the final decision
on your attendance if your are under 18.
