Monthly Meetings of the Pattaya Hash House Harriers

Our monthly meetings take place every 1st Wednesday of the month at Patrick's
 on Beach Road. Time: 16:30. Everybody is welcome!

 

Scribe

Please hand your run report to Patrick's Restaurant at 16:00 the following Wednesday or send it via email to Clit Face. Your run report goes to the Pattaya People. Not every report can or will be published. Reasons for no publication: hand-in too late, language too foul, etc.. 

Considerations when Haring a Run:

  1. A week before your Run
  2. Duration
  3. Choosing the Circle site
  4. A to A runs versus A to B runs
  5. Marking a Run, Shredded Paper
  6. Off-limit Places
  7. Unable to set the Run
  8. Hare Song
  9. Immunity

1. A week before your Run

Produce a map with written directions including landmarks and distance indications. The map and the written directions go to 1. Webmaster Clit Face latest the Monday BEFORE your run.
2.
Draw the map on the Scandi Bar white board with the written directions if room permits. 

2. Duration

Up to 30 Minutes is considered a short run, 45 Minutes a normal run and a 1 Hour + run is long.

3. Choosing the Circle site

Make sure the bus can travel the route and park close to the circle site during the duration of the run and circle. During rainy season it is wise to chose a circle site with a shelter. Please note if you pick a circle site that is far from town and you want to set a long run, please contact the GM and discuss it with him, it can then be arranged for the bus to leave earlier. Of course the earlier you advise the GM the easier it will be to make the necessary changes.

4. A to A runs versus A to B runs

If you lay an A to B run (starting at one location, ending at another) you need an emergency vehicle and a sweeper for the run. A to A runs are preferred over A to B runs. Several hashers drive their own cars or bikes out to the run site. Transporting these vehicles to the B site might cause some unnecessary difficulties. Runners get frequently lost on runs due to all kinds of reasons. In an A to B run only with luck do those runners find us for the ongoing proceedings of the hash. A to B runs tend to get more Hash Shits.

5. Marking a Run, Shredded Paper

In general shredded paper is used to mark the run trail and spray-paint to indicate check marks or false trails. Tapioca flour is a definitely more environment friendly. If you decide to use flour make sure you use enough of it to keep the trails well visible and an eventual rain is not ruining your run. Never spray-paint on fixed objects like streets, walls, trees, etc. This is considered vandalism and no matter how well the run was organized and laid-out, you will get Hash Shit. Purchase shredded paper at any printing shop in town. Make sure the colour of the paper doesn’t match the colour of the grass-in-season.

6. Off-limit Places

Wat sites (Temples) are off limits to hash circles. We do not want to offend our Thai hosts.

7. Unable to set the Run

If you are unable to set your run on your designated week, it is your responsibility to find a competent replacement hare.

8. Hare Song

As a Hare you will be asked to sing a song in the circle. However, you are not required to produce your own hare song nor sing one. Ask the Master of Music SIR CHICKEN FUCKER or SEAMAN STAINS  to sub for you.

9. Immunity

As a virgin hare you are immune to Hash Shit, but not ice. Pick your co-hare well!!

 

 

Hash Memorabilia

If anyone has T-shirts, towels, etc. from old special runs that are not wanted any more, the raffle mistress  would be very pleased to have them as items to be raffled off in the circle after the run.
