When asked by Hashgate to do the gob sheet at the BH3 committee meeting last week, C5 pleaded with me to get the punctuation right, as Hashgate had put an apostrophe on an its when it was subjugated, or maybe it wasn’t subjugated, not of course that they wanted to put me under any pressure. This discussion took so much time, that New Years Eve Dinner & Disco, BH3 Barn Weekend next summer where carried forward to the next meeting as Csaw had supper ready.

To make certain of avoiding grammar or punctuation errors, I consulted Literary Forms Encyclopaedia and felt the best way to approach this onerous task, was to use as many Synecdoche’s as possible because of their suitability for hashers. A figure of speech where the name of the part is used for the whole or the part for the whole. Sounds like a good weekend.

So to the hash, apart from the BH3 named above there were also in attendance some 30 NH3 hashers. Hamlet’s bright idea to use the lay-by outside the Church on a Sunday morning resulted in Windlesham coming to a near standstill. Much fun was had by all, when a “I've got every right to drive as fast as I want too maniac” had to reverse some 75 metres to just in front of the gathered Hashers. The round of applause he was given did not impress him at all, but the tanker driver, who had insisted that he reversed, was.

Miss Whiplash called for the gather round, and a welcome back was given to Pieman, there being no newcomers the hares started with a long and short on out. The main pack went up the hill and to the right, while the SCB’s went down the hill and to the left, this gave them more than a head start, and Whiplash and Salome were actually seen running, had she forgotten she was G.M. I asked myself.

The main pack, were by now catching up with the SCB’s. The countryside and the weather made one grateful for having travelled outside of Berkshire, even more so when after going over the motorway we came to superb ornamental gardens, only marred by the M3 which adjoined it. There was more than enough room here for the hares to have the front runners having to work hard, while the rest of us just enjoyed hashing this area for the very first time.

Shep needing a rest offered his dog the opportunity of having a drink from a stream. C5 passing by, felt that it was only right that said owner should join the dog in the stream. In his hurry to get away C5 used a log in the middle of the stream as a stepping log to the other side, the log moved C5 was in, justice was done.

Amazingly enough the pack were on-inning within 1 Hour 7 minutes, which for Hamlet and Fukawe must be a record, Hamlets birthdays must be catching up with him! So ended an excellent Hash, front runners having had plenty of checks, main pack actually having to help the front runners and the SCB’s were always with the pack. This was an excellent running area, and for the majority, just the right length. Well done Hares.

DOWN DOWNS.

RA’s Motocross and R.A. of NH3.

NH3 started the proceedings, but it was obvious that no liasing had taken place between the RA’s. Hamlet and Fukawe for a well-laid trail. The NH3 RA for getting lost, Pieman for visiting, and then 3 sinners from NH3 .

Then it was Motocross who called upon Pieman for visiting. C5 and Shep for swimming on the Hash, the Hares were then given another Down Down, and the Hamlet was treated to Motocross concoction of Peppermint cordial, Melon Liquer and a pint of Beer. Hamlet to his credit did at least consume a third of the cocktail before quitting.
