Lest we forget...

In all the excitement about the up-coming 2000th run, let it not be forgotten that SH3 will celebrate its 38th birthday this Saturday. So to help us remember, the run will be a beer-token run with the short and long runs carefully planned so that everybody should get a crack at finding some tokens before the beer stop at which they will be redeemable, with any excess being carried forward to be used later at the run site. There will also be a few special down-down beer tokens to hunt for on the final section of the run and to top it all off, Only a Yolk will be producing a vat of khao soi with all the usual trimmings to be demolished before the circle.

Details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run # 1998, Saturday, October 26, 2019 4:15 p.m.
Hares: Egghead and Harram
Misdirections. From the Kao Seng intersection take the old Yala road for 13.8k to the traffic lights just beyond Thung Wang and turn right for 1k then left at the hash sign for 500m to the run site at  7° 3'8.28"N 100°38'17.82"E. From Hatyai, get to Tha Kham and head east for 5.8k to the big tree then bear left and go 2k to a set of traffic lights at which turn right for 400m. then right at the hash sign for 500m to the run site.  Click here for Google Maps' pin.

As the nights are now drawing in and after narrowly avoiding losing a couple of runners last week, we need to start the runs a bit earlier, so this week's run will be a 4:15 p.m. k.o. but if this causes anyone a problem please let someone know. This is particularly relevant if you are going to do the short run as that will be an A-B involving transport to the A site so don't be late.

Also, and again bearing in mind our experience with our intended host-land-owner last weekend, please park considerately. There is not a huge amount of space at the run site but parking on the side of the road is feasible and to be preferred to carving up the ground between the rubber trees if the ground is still wet. Equally however, if you do park on the road make sure that there is enough space left for vehicles to pass by.

Finally, with the 2000th run now only 2 weeks away, Hash Cash will be happy to accept payment of your registration fee either at the SH3 or HH3 run this weekend or failing that, next weekend, and if you haven't already registered but would like to do so, registrations with guaranteed on-the-day T shirt rights are still open. But after this week there is no guarantee of getting the size you order on the day and you will have to take pot luck in size availability after the actual run.

HH3's runsite on Sunday is illustrated in the map below, or if you prefer: From the Kao Seng intersection take the old Yala road for 16k and turn right at Wat Khun Thong then go 5k and turn left at the hash sign and follow the road/track for about 1.6k to the run site. From Hatyai, get to Tha Kham and head East for 4.3k then turn right at the hash sign. The hares are Sex Printer bin Laden, Beanie Abdul Karim. Sound Chef Mohd Kassim and Gu Man Thong, who is not in the picture! Click here for Google Maps' pin.
