Message from Grave Robber


I thought I'd send you a link to the Kathmandu hash page where I ran 2 weeks ago, and should do again tomorrow. If you go to www.aponarch.com/hhhh and click on run 1563 on the left bar, you'll see me in action. Feel free to forward it to the next hash trash. Thanks. Otherwise, things are fine out here in the mountains. Bye,

Dan

Africa Hash 2009 Uganda

Dear All,
Kampala, Uganda, will be the venue for the 2009 Africa Hash.
The event will take start on 1st May, with a fun-packed week-end of Hashing, drinking and socialising.
Kampala Hash House Harriers are planning to make it a week-end you won't forget in a hurry and look forward to showing you some of the "Pearl of Africa". We've got some excellent hotels lined up for you, as well as some interesting and adventurous Trails at such places as the Source of the Nile and the Equator! Pre-ambles are planned for Rwanda and Kenya; there may be others.
We hope you will be able to join us.
Further information can be found on the web-site:

www.africainterhash2009.com

but, please get in touch with me if you need any additional information.
The Imperial Royale Hotel is likely to be where most visiting Hashers will stay - we have recently managed to get some good rates for Hashers, so the bulk of the visiting Hashers are likely to be there.
We very much look forward to welcoming you.
I would be most grateful if you could circulate this e-mail and attachments as widely as possible - to both those in your current Hash as well as any old Hash contacts you may have in other parts of the world. Thanks.
Finally, due to the enthusiasm of several of our sponsors, we have managed to reduce the Registration Fee to US$ 175 (plus US$ 10.00 credit card charge). Register early as we will be putting up the price as from 1st December.
On! On!

This is not a holiday

Hasher Dan Slater (Graverobber) has published his first book "This is not a holiday"

you can purchase online through the following site

http://www.lulu.com/content/2146683

Description:

Confirmed dromomaniac (travel addict) Dan Slater persuades his long-suffering girlfriend to join him on an overland trek from Cairo to Cape Town. Using only the most delapidated transport, sleeping in the most disgusting accommodation, and consuming the cheapest, rankest food available, they carrom down the continent picking all the wild, hilarious, scary and character-building experiences they weather.


please note :

it is also available as a download for a lot less, and obviously no postage, but then you have to read it on your monitor

Back to Maputo after lunch for the closing ceremony and party at the Hotel Cardoso.

17/3/07 buses pick you up at your hotel and drive to the countryside. Every bus will leave from the hotels and go to the same location, the beautiful Pequenos Lebombos dam. Multiple hashes will be set in the unspoilt bush around the dam, where you can watch crocodiles pee in Maputo’s water supply. Lunch outdoors at the holiday village next to the dam. Back to Maputo for the Gala dinner at the Hotel Cardoso. The theme will be African, with local food and live music.

RAFFLES/SUPPORT

FROM YVONNE……

To all of you who have supported me with the welfare work that I do – with sponsorship for 2007 Two Oceans Marathon or donations of money or bric-a-brac etc. – THANK YOU.
If any of you would like to see first hand where the support goes, I am looking for more helpers for the 'spayathon' that I am organising in Khayelitsha on Saturday Feb 9th, so please come and join us.
We are hoping to sterilise 100 (maybe more?) dogs and cats on the day. I have a number of private vets and nurses giving up their time free-of-charge to do the sterilisations, and I have received donations of the necessary drugs from our pharmaceutical companies and veterinary suppliers, but we still need helpers to:
check animals in and record owners' details;
watch animals recover from anaesthetic to ensure they are ok;
collect and return animals for those owners who have no transport – anyone with their own bakkie (or similar) would be very welcome!
If you think you may be able to help or you would like more information please contact me on one of the numbers below.
Many thanks
Yvonne Robson

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/
The breast cancer site needs people to click on thier site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. This visit does not cost a thing and the corportate sponsors use the number of visits to donate a mamaogram in exchange for advertising.....go on click the big pink button.

Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple... The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals.
It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box "fund food for animals" for free. This doesn't cost you a thing.
Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

good day Hashers
Firstly I would like to take this opportunity (excuse the formal speech at work force of habit!) to thank our outgoing Grandmaster, the dishonourable blabbermouth, for leading the mismangement and hash for the past year. A lot of effort by the grandmaster goes unseen and I think it is important that you are all aware that Blabbermouth has put in a lot of time & effort into hash - thank you Anthony (and Leanne of course!)
For those of you not at the weekend away, read Koeksuster's hash trash attached you missed a fantabulous weekend and thank you to everybody who chipped in and helped it is much appreciated.....
The new mismanagement is listed in the newsletter and we also congratulate the winners of the awards:
HASHER OF THE YEAR = BOBLET
HASHETTE OF THE YEAR = THUNDERTHIGHS
SCRIBE OF THE YEAR = DERELICT (Ceres weekend away letter)
BEST 1ST RUN = KEEL OVER (Clovelly)
RUN OF THE YEAR = KOEKSISTER (Black Hill - Yvonne's 50th)

Well done to all award winners and thank you for adding to the "flavour" of hash!
OUR FIRST MAJOR SOCIAL AS ALWAYS WILL BE HALLOWEEN.... THIS YEAR WE WILL BE HAVING A BIG SCREEN HORROR PICTURE EVENING (WITH KIDDIE MOVIES IN THE OTHER ROOM) SO WATCH THIS SPACE.
