SH3 communications, Post-Egghead

The classic "Dungbeetle Goes on Holiday" issue of the Scum, April 2006. Just one of the countless historical treasures you'll find at our OneDrive link.
After some discussion among the mismanagement, er no, publishing board, no, the Cronies, we’ve decided to keep this blog going despite the fact that almost nobody comes here anymore. One reason is to give us a permanent record of all runsites*. It’s also possible that old hashers may try to re-establish contact by coming here. So as much as possible I’ll try to continue re-posting misdirections here every week, and reply if anyone has a question.

Most of us these days get our SH3 run info via either the mailing list (if you’re not on it just contact Eightball: dave [dot] kohyoh [at sign] gmail [dot] com) or else Facebook (Songkhla Hash House Harriers SH3). There’s also a very active Messenger group, which you can join even without being on Facebook.

But until Blogspot kicks us off, we’ll leave this site up. There’s a huge amount of amusing old material here, from rehashes and GPS trails to photos and plenty of great comments. Most of the content came from Egghead, and I at least almost always smile when I read it.

If that’s not enough nostalgia for you, check out our archive of scanned SH3 artifacts, from the very start in 1981 to the last issues of The Scum (the original printed one) in the mid-2000s. Egghead, Yardstick and I finished the scanning work only a couple weeks ago, which in retrospect feels very lucky indeed. You'll find it here: https://1drv [dot] ms/f/s!Ane2JCUNbOQ-iF42EAIG3Zza41qo

*And so here for the record are the misdirections for last Saturday, 25 July 2020. Don’t go there this week!

  1. The Messenger group is 'Songkhla Hash'. If you have a problem joining, or you can't find it, please contact Peter Talen or Dave Clarke, or leave a comment here.

  4. Was looking for some old 'The Scum' issues. FYI, link above only links to some public admin type pages. Can the scanned Scums be accessed online?
