80 years young

This sprightly looking youth, for those of you who haven't been around in Songkhla as long as some of us have, is Spotted Dick with his lovely wife Time of the Montha. Amazingly (how can it be true?) Spotted Dick will become an octogenarion  this Sunday and is in Songkhla to celebrate the occasion. So he will be at the SH3 run on Saturday and will be throwing a party at a restaurant in Talle Luang (a.k.a. Wachira) in Songkhla on Sunday evening.

Spotted Dick is currently the leading holder of the accolade (or booby prize, not sure which!) of being GM of SH3, having held the office on no less than six occasions. So his presence on Saturday is timely as we will be holding the annual erection before the run at about 4:20. So if you haven't already added your or someone else's name to the growing list of nominations for high office then please do so as a comment to this post or by e mail.

Details of the SH3 run are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run # 2015, Saturday, February 22, 2015
Hares: Yardstick and Buck
Misdirections: From the Kao Seng intersection take the old Yala road south for 17.7 km (7 km from the NYR / OYR intersection at Ang Thong) and turn right just after Thang Khwai School, just before the bus shelter with the bright yellow roof. Proceed for 3.3 km, through the small village and along the gravel track, then turn RIGHT for 200 m and turn right again to the runsite at N7.0101°  E100.6452°. Click here for Google Maps' pin

From Hatyai, make your way via Tha Kham and the ”Big Tree” to Wat Khun Thong on the old Yala road. Turn right and head south on the OYR for 1.7 km, then turn right just after Thang Khwai School, and follow the directions above. Alternatively, take Route 43 east for 20.6 km from the Khlong Wa intersection (i.e., the big junction after Macro), or 7.8 km from the Phichit Road junction. Turn left for 2.7 km along the concrete road, and turn left for 200 m along the dirt road to the run site.

Sunday's HH3 runsite is rumored to be the football pitch at Tung Ngai on Poonakan Rd and the hares are believed to be Syntax Error and friends. Confirmation and any other details will be added later.
