South Hams Hash Harriers 1200th Hash  – May 2019

@ The Tap House, South Hams Brewery in aid of Devon Air Ambulance.

Hares

Overshot

Rusty Bottom

Topshelf

Bit of Rough – Virgin Hare

A sea of blue T-Shirts set out on a warm May evening against the beautiful back drop of Torcross and Slapton Ley. This amazing view was soon shattered by Boaty, Deadman Walking & Wet Spot trying to recreate a scene from the Sound of Music although someone said it looked more like an advert for Grinder – especially when Wet Spot was overheard saying he wished they had all held hands.

During the circle up we had been given clear instructions to keep to the edge of all the fields, moments later a number of hashers led by Goolie and co were ignoring all rules (there are no rules in hashing) and were caught heading across the middle of the fields cutting all corners. The Jerk suggested we try reverse psychology next time.

During the hash, confusion soon arose when checking checks, 3 dots and on then became a cross?!.. This was later blamed on the Virgin Hare Bit of Rough for not being able to count, which later earned him a down down. Confusion continued over some poor ‘not up to scratch’ arrows which were laid by Rusty Bottom.

Most of the action happened on the return to the car park.  –

New boy Alan couldn’t find his car keys, turns out his car had rolled forward onto his keys…………

Alan you should have known better than to park your car downhill and put your keys under the wheel –  School boy error.

Goolie tried to make friends with a rather startled Frauline by innocently asking her if she would like to join the hash after she caught him checking out the inside of her campervan. Ging Gang did try to warn him it wasn’t a hasher’s campervan. You would have thought that the D on the number plate may have given it away.

Dimwit reported hearing frantic knocking from inside a car, but due to tinted windows he couldn’t see who it was so he just walked on by. Poor Hot Totty had become a victim of her own child locks and was stuck in the car. The night events didn’t stop there for Hot Totty who was later awarded her 100 run T-Shirt which she proudly wore.

Back at the Tap House we celebrated the 1200th run which included meringue spelling out 1200th cooked by Little Chef. Unfortunately, while Gaffer was trying to show off the meringue he dropped it, you can see photo evidence on Facebook.

On a serious note, thanks were given to South Hams Brewery who waived the rental fee as we donated it to the Devon Air Ambulance, alongside the proceeds from the sale of the T-shirts and the contents of what was collected on the evening in Overshoots hat. Amount raised still to be announced.

Other events of the evening –

  1. Dimwit complained of a poorly belly – although he managed to demolish a seafood pizza.

  2. Both Heckle and Topshelf had birthdays and they were sung too in the usual hash fashion.

Down Downs were awarded to

Rusty Bottom – Hare

Topshelf – Hare and Birthday

Bit of Rough – Hare and can’t count

Heckle – Birthday

Hot Totty – 100 T-shirt

Alan – for losing his keys
