Time & Place: Hamersley's AGM Monday, 15th
November 1993
MARBLES:
"Geez
Bigs, now that you've turned 50, do
you think that you may consider giving
up running?"
BIGGLES:
"Well,
as long as we can continue to stand
we should keep going; in fact I think
we should start a club for the old bastards."
MARBLES:
"That's
not a bad idea and if it is limited
to Hashers over 50, I could join come
next April."
BIGGLES:
"OK, we
can start next May, a club to cater
for us oldies of Hamersley."
MARBLES:
"You can
be the Grand Master and I can be the
On Sec."
BIGGLES:
"As we
will still be running Hamersley we can't
make it a Monday, and rather than stuff
ourselves completely we should not make
it a weekly occurrence."
MARBLES:
"What
about once a Month, on the last Tuesday
of the Month, and make it that we pick
up an extra run every two years so that
the AGM coincides with anniversary runs?"
BIGGLES:
"And we
can call ourselves HOSH - being Hamersley
Oldies Still Hashing."
MARBLES:
"That's
it. Now if we want numbers, we will
restrict it to only over 50's."
BIGGLES:
"We
could always have trainees, say over
45, who could be our juniors until they
have matured enough to fulfil the function
as a HOSHER."
MARBLES:
"OK, but
they would have no voting rights and
be kept away from official functions
unless specifically invited."
BIGGLES:
"It's
agreed then. Let's spread the word and
see what becomes of it."
Getting old is mandatory.
Growing up is optional...
Time & Place: 6.20pm
Biggles' House Tuesday, 24th May 1994
Run Number 1. 24th May 1994
BIGGLES:
(Thinks) "I hope
the fuck some of these Hamersley pricks turn
up. I've got a whole lot of food for them. Thank
God I told them to bring their own piss or I
may be left with a whole lot I will have to
finish myself. Sound like someone is coming.
Yes it's Precious, and it sounds like he bought
some others with him. WWWWWWWhhhhhaaaaaaattttt!!!!!!
Sheilas!!!!! Never counted on them coming
along."
TEX & TINKER:
"Your notice never
said your new club was MALE only so here we
are."
BIGGLES:
"I guess I never
figured that old boilers would still be running
at this age."
The rest is now history.
JR & Lobby (aka 99) joined us on the night,
it being their first ever Hash run, along with
Tinker, Tex and 10 Hamersley men and Kamikaze
(woof woof), many of them being junior members
at the time. From then on we have gradually
increases the senior ranks as the junior ranks
diminished. Some members have come and gone,
but most stay and our ranks keep increasing.
Our runs consist of two groups - the runners
and walkers. Runs usually originate from the
hares place of residence and that person supplies
the food. Run fees are 3 Pounds ($6) per run
that goes towards food and photos. We have two
major runs in a year, being our Xmas run and
the AGM.
Our committee consists of a
Great Grand Master (Re-titled on recommendation
of Roo-Ted), On-Sec, 2 Klaxons, Ancestral Advisor,
and a Sage and a few others.
Because
of our ageing years we sit during the circles,
tell mainly old people type jokes, take memory
pills for forgetfulness... oh and of course
we drink piss.
On On
