NEW YEAR’S EVE RUN - the end of 2008
A record 42 people turned out for the end of 2008 New Year's Eve Run.
It was an epic run of hills and spills, a great way to prepare for the
evening celebrations. There was a lack of shiggy due to the cold
conditions, but some runners managed to slip through the ice for
successful shiggy dipping. More detail will follow soon, once full recovery
has occurred!
Sadly, the white dog (Dennis) managed to get thrown into the
guardroom of the Officer's Mess after about fifteen minutes of the run,
but was released on appeal at the end. As he had already run the hash
earlier the same day, who can blame him for skiving off? |
Insurance
Thanks to hard work on
the part of Tony Soane, Deepcut Hash House Harriers now have Public
Liability Insurance in the form of the UK Hash House Harriers Insurance
Scheme, underwritten by Aviva Insurance Limited (trading as Norwich
Union).
The period of the insurance is 06/05/08 to 31/03/09.

London Marathon - Richard Made It!
Deepcut H3's Mountain Rescue (Richard McAllister) participated in the
London Marathon on Sunday, 13 April. Did you see prisoner number 6116?
We are delighted to announce his amazing, but naturally expected,
success. Afterwards, Richard said, "First,
my sincere thanks to all those Hashers who sponsored me in the London
Marathon. I managed to finish in 5 hours 17 minutes with no blisters,
bruises or sore joints. However, the legs were somewhat weary and did
feel a bit ‘old’ for the next 24 hours!
Second, the really
good news is that thanks to the generosity of all donors from UK, New
Zealand, America, Canada, Spain, Lithuania, Japan, Afghanistan and Nepal
the total so far has reached over £3,300 with the promise of more to
come. To this total is added Gift Aid.
Incidentally, the
writing on the ‘T’ shirt is ‘Finisher’
and not ‘Finished’- although I really have finished running marathons!"
The anticipation was evidently as good as the finish. Photos below
are before and after the event. I have to say, he looks equally chuffed
before as he does after. I gather his fame still abounds and
more funds are rolling in. May it keep on going. |

Chips were first mentioned in the report on Run No 198. The first
grading was not awarded until Run 204 and given as a ’B’. Thereafter
grades were given in figures. The grade is a consensus taking into
account texture, taste, crispiness, size, quantity and temperature.
Sad, isn’t it? |
