SH3 at 33: Wear your strides with pride!

This week SH3 celebrates 33 glorious years of athletic excellence and abnormal behavior in our annual birthday run. 

In time honored tradition (as in we've run out of better ideas) the run will take place at the Tung Jaeng restaurant on the new Yala road. and will be followed by dinner, and entertainment. The run and dinner come at the usual active runner price of 60 Baht with guests (i.e. unnamed runners) a snip at 250 Baht and kids 30 Baht. Beer will be from the beer truck and for later, the restaurant have said that they have no objection to us bringing our own. So any contributions will be most welcome, or just buy from the restaurant - their prices are about the same as the beer truck.

The run will be an A-B-C and the transport to both the A site (long and adventurous short run) and the B site (less adventurous short run) will leave promptly at 4:33 and 27 seconds. So don't be late (Gan Yao!)

The run is Superman themed which is just a cheap excuse for getting everybody to run around the countryside with their Y-fronts outside their shorts, thus confirming the world's view of us as a bunch of harmless eccentrics. Later, those inclined towards fancy dress should wear something Halloweenish - there will probably be a prize for the most scary outfit (as opposed to the most scary wearer which Kee Leum would win hands down!).

Details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers run #1740, Saturday, October 25th 2014, 4:30 p.m.
Hares: Egghead and the mutts
Misdirections: From The Kao Seng intersection take the old Yala road for 11k and turn right at the Ang Thong intersection into the new Yala road for 1.4k to the Tung Jaeng restaurant on the left. (See Pussies Redux of 24th September supra for fuller instructions for the directionally insecure).

Sunday's HH3 run is somewhere near Sri Sat Kiri – along the road between the new Hatyai road and Nam Noi, on the left. The hare is Robocop (so that ought to cure any lingering hangovers!). From the Ko Yo intersection take the New Hatyai road for 8.5k (past the True Moves tower) then turn left and go as far as you have to before seeing a hash sign on the left.


Finally, there is a quiz night on Friday night (October 24th) at the Office Bar. The quiz-master is KoKo which should ensure that no one has much idea what is going on. But the Hash team will be stoically attempting to resurrect its unbeaten record which died last time around. Come along and poke fun at us as we prove that there is an inverse square ratio between cognitive function and beer consumption, and throw it all away on the last round yet again!
