| After the revels of the previous day it was a small group of 30 or so intrepid Hashers who assembled outside the Bell in Whitchurch. There was a nip in the air and Clepto tried to warm our spirits with a freeeee buffet of Hula Hoops before setting off. After briefing by the Hare (Pearl ‘N Dean) enthusiasm for the run seemed a bit mixed as three girly Hashers (Warbler, Cheesewire and Florette) were seen to be checking a local shoe shop shortly after the "check away" call (two of them were appropriately admonished for this later and were given down-downs). |

The trail
took us by a devious route through the south, west, north and then east housing estates of
Whitchurch. Long cutters enjoyed the excitement of the dark, wet and very muddy footpaths
down deep by the Station whilst the short cutters stayed clean and dry on the paths above.
One house looked particularly festive on this clear, star-filled night with a myriad of
coloured lights decorating its exterior.

| I thought that M’Bongo had been clever to keep his whole head warm by wearing his Balaclava until I realised in the pub later that this was in fact the long lost hashit – the infamous BVH3 Hashyclava. |  |
After an hour or so we all seemed to get back to the car park and we then retired to the pub which was most welcoming. | |||||||||||||

Chippendale did an admirable job as R.A. but was outshone by an impromptu rendition of seasonal jokes concerning dustmen, milkmen, golfers, fairies, 4 flies, a cat and pink and black interior decor (don’t ask!). | ||||||||||||||
| The hashit was awarded to Careless Wrister, Warbler won the £25 on the football draw and Two Hands was delighted to get her raffle prize which was a Linford Christie book (with BIG pictures …..which certainly put a BIG smile on her little face - see photo). Finally Hampshire Man’s cheek was rewarded with a second helping of the delicious chicken curry. It seems that you only have to ask nicely! ON ON Nora Batty |  |
