The official organ of the Abu Dhabi Island Hash House Harriers AUH4


Hashing is a state of mind- a friendship of kindred spirits joined together for the sole purpose of reliving their childhood or fraternity days, releasing the tensions of everyday life, and generally, acting a fool amongst others who will not judge you or measure you by anything more than your sense of humor."
Stray Dog (From the Global Trash Hash Bible complete reference for the Hash House Harriers)

AUH4 Run Number 1540
Sunday 30th December 2007

The Event:
Due to the fact that New Year’s Eve was on Monday night, the diehard hashers decided to hold the run on Sunday night. About 20 serious hashers and 2 hash brats made it out for the event.
This could be one of the last trips the Abu Dhabi Hash House Harriers make to Meena port. It would seem that the entire road leading out to the usual meeting spot and on back has now been blocked off! The run itself was a very confusing one. With fluorescent paint supposedly being used to mark the sandy bits, though I did not have the pleasure of seeing this mysterious substance. The markings on the road were also very confusing as there have been so many runs done out at the port that no one really understood which way to go! This could be why there were so many short cutters!

Hares: Big Ears

Run Verdict:
Too much snow
Too many short cutters
Dots not laminated
Plenty of warehouses
Too hilly
No sugar cane
No snow
The marks ranged from 1.5 – 2.5, due to the fact that it was the last run of the year a very generous 2.5 was given.

Next Weeks Run:
Will be hared by Jolly Rogerer and I Really Want One. The hash was originally going to take place on Lulu Island, due to the fact that the last boat leaves the island at 8 pm, this idea has been scrapped. At the time of publishing I have no clue where the next run will be held. I am sure someone in the know will let us know where the run will be held.
If you hear nothing I am sure that VB will love to hear from you about where the run is going to be!
UPDATE - SEE END....

Virgins:
Steve (aka Jack’s dad)- is from Liverpool, will be here for another year, and will probably hash again

Miscellaneous-
Richard- has been hashing for a year now, his sister is also an avid hasher (not sure where, but not here). Anyway, Richard and his sister were chatting and she asked him how many runs he had hashed.... The answer NONE!!!! \There was a stunned silence around the circle; Richard held his head in shame.... Okay I am getting carried away...
I have no clue what was happening, but Big Ears and ‘Ooz ee were bitching in the circle and a song was sang...

Hash Grub-
Yummy homemade stew... Maybe we should have holidays more often, the food is awesome.
