APRIL FOOL HASH 303 - SUNDAY APRIL 1st

Starting point:
Timo Kvartanas - parking lot on Maironio gatve, across the street from
the wooden market stands.


Be there for 11:15 for an 11:30 start. Remember our car pool.... but not much point this week as the Hash is within walking distance of the car pick up point:) :)

Cost for adults is 10lts to cover beer, soft drinks, water, etc etc. Kids free.

Dress code:
Since it's the Day of Independence of Uzupio, show your support and
wear something white! (combine with the last St Patrick's Hash & you could wear a CELTIC FC football top :))

What do you know about Uzupio?:
Study your Uzupio history books and keep your eyes open on the trail
as there will be prizes to give to those who score highest during a
lunch quiz after the hash!

On, on lunch location to be advised.........

If you get really lost then phone the hare MJ.... but coz she's not given her number you can always try Kiltman on 653 10009!!!

JUST TO KEEP YOU AMUSED :)

Kiltman has had a strange weekend in Denmark.... you'll find it just a bit amusing :)

1. Thought flight from Palanga to Copenhagen was at 16:30 turns out it was 15:30.... Kiltman drives into carpark at 15:10.... no worries

2. Hadn't checked location of competitions properly... normally they are at Hillerod north of Copenhagen. Plan was to get car & just drive to Hillerod & then look for signs... same as many times before:) But... in 2007 the competitions moved to near Roskilde... opposite direction!!! Fortunately Kiltman met a friend at CPH Airport & while having a coffee the mistake came out:)

3. Kiltman got a bus from airport to his hotel... but bus driver forgot to tell him when to get off so he went round again... a 15 min journey took 90 mins :)

4. Turned up at airport on Sunday morning to get 13:00 flight to Palanga... discovered booking was made for Saturday :( But lucky that SAS are nice people & change flight free of charge :)

What a weekend :)

NEW HASH T-SHIRT & LOGO

We are considering buying a new batch of Vilnius HHH t shirts in time for our 14th Anniversary in mid-June. We could simply repeat the existing design but think it maybe a good opportunity to upgrade the logo & design.... perhaps to link in with Vilnius being European City of Culture in 2009???

Anyway.... the challenge to you all is to design a simple logo for the VHHH and send it to the Hash email address by April 15th (vilniushhh (@) gmail.com). Those designs we recieve we'll put on the blog and take a vote as to the winner:) And the winner will get a prize.... night out with Kiltman (2nd place wins 2 nights out:))

The new logo can be based on the old one... or completely different... only thing is it should mention Vilnius HHH some where:)

LITHUANIA - THE PLACE TO HASH

Ever needed a reason to come visit Vilnius join in the great VHHH??? Well think no more.... from April the 18th we will have 2 of the world's greatest institutes starting business in LIETUVA...

Fist.... Marks & Spencers... and second (and most important) the debut of.... KFC :) Yes... Kentucky Fried Chicken.... ahhhhh.... life is perfect :) :)

HASH 303 APRIL 1st (honest - no joke!)

The picture gives everyone just a very small clue to the location of the next VHHH Hash on April 1st! Rumour has it that IF you can successfully negotiate passport control then you'll find beer flowing in the street:)

And as if to make the 'pun' worse....... we have three of our very own 'angels' setting the trail.... it's a must do event. Full details nearer the time :)

TWO OF OUR THREE ANGELS

PS - if you look closely on our flikr pages (link opposite right) then you may view some photos of Hash 302................

BOWLING WEDNESDAY MARCH 28

We have booked 2 lanes at the Bowling at Akropolis for 20:00 to 22:00 on Wednesday March 28th. This means the optimum number of people will be around 12 to 14:)

Cost will be 15lts per adult.

Please confirm if you are coming.... if you don't and more than 14 show up then you'll be disappointed:)

And for anyone interested the Tuesday evening orienteering season begins on March 27th with a competition at VINGIS PARK - perfect for beginners:) Start times from 17:00 to 19:00 I think.

ST PATRICK's HASH 302 SUNDAY MARCH 18th

Dear all,

The next run will begin outside Plieno Paukštis, Kalinausko 11B (up the hill from Frank Zappa).
Meet at 11:15 with 10 Lt cover, trail will begin at 11:30.
As it's St Patrick's Day (well, close enough) please wear something green! And we'll end back at the bar where they serve guiness.
And don't forget there's a car share from the castle end of Pilies at 11:00.

WEDNESDAY SOCIAL

A gallent band of 8 or 9 Hardy Vilnius Hash Hound Harriers (what a mouthful) turned up at Amatininku last night to share a beer, a coffee and a few not so serious words of conversation. We welcomed a new runner from the US... Lauren & I'm sure she'll be made welcome at future hashes!

Two interesting developments.....

1. Seems Roma has volunteered to take on the task of 'Hare Raiser' - hopefully her command of the Lithuania language will help....
2. Major Pain runs his life to coincide with the cycles of his washing machine... so if he disappears every 90 mins for 15 mins... you know it's to check his washing:)

And details for Sunday's Hash will be available soon... Needles & Kinky Hot Stuff as Hares... it'll be a City Hash... staring somewhere round the Wedding Palace I believe:)

The week ahead

This week we have 2 events, hope to see folks come out of hiding!

Wednesday 14 March is the usual run/walk followed by social. Meet at Amantininku at 19:00 for running, and from 20:00 for socialising. Amantininku is on Didzioji (it's too late for me to think about spelling tonight, sorry folks) AKA the man on the barrel.

Sunday 18 March is the next HHH. The trail will be set by Needles and Kinky Hot Stuff...details will be sent out later in the week. Let's hope for sun!

on on

SO WHERE THE F**K WAS EVERYONE???

OK... last time I try and organise something for VilniusHHH.... no-one turned up at Amatininku this evening... I waited from 20:00 until 21:00 then looked in Dubliner and Transylvania... no-one anywhere (apart from Brendan whom I shared a pint with in Transylvania).

So I also quit as any other thing I have to do with Vilnius HHH including doing the blog.... coz apparently no-one reads it!!!!!!!

The hash need YOU!

The Vilnius HHH needs more hands on deck. At the moment especially after a few folks sailed away, it's down to very few of us keeping things ticking over. It doesn't take too much time to be involved in the running of the club (or the walking of the club if you prefer) but we do need more help as our stalwarts aren't going to be around so much in the coming months.

So, the areas we need help in are:
Hash Cash (Looks after the money ), Hare Raiser (gets the list of who is setting the hashes and gently reminds them when their turn is), another Hash Flash (takes photos), and another Religious Advisor (to get the funnies in the circle)

Let us know how you will get involved by email! It's for the greater good! Aciu labai! Needles

KILTMAN RETURNS

Following on from his long (5 week) exile to the sunny island of CUBA - Kiltman is back in Vilnius from Friday March 9th (well actually he'll be in Amatininku tonight with luck from 22:00)Anyway he'd like to exchange ideology with people over a beer or 3 on Friday night.... will be in Amatininku from 20:00 then will move on somewhere else about 22:00?? What about WOO on Vilnius g? Any reports? (Any suggests add as a comment to this post!!!)

Full Moon AND Eclipse!

Tomorrow – Saturday is a full moon and there will also be a total eclipse of the moon. The eclipse will be visible around 12. 30 ( providing there is no cloud coverage of course ) We will be meeting at the Dubliner 20.00 for a full moon, eclipse hash.

See you all there!
