Next event 4 May in Valakupiu/Turniskes

Dear all,

I hope the Sunday breakfast was tasty good! Now is the time to burn off those calories with the next event! The weather is looking good so I hope to see a lot of you there! Here are the directions:


The next hash will take place on Sunday, 4 May in Valakupiu/Turniskes.

It's beyond the end of Antakalnio, and a bit difficult to describe off
the map.....basically in your car you go straight past the bus station
(don't go to Nemencines) and go straight on, crossing the very main
road (Karelviu g joining Milausiaus g). YOU GO STAIGHT ON into
Lizdeikos gatve. After about 300 m this takes a slight bend to the
left, before, after another 500 m or so it naturally turns right and
becomes Vaidilutes gatve. Follow it for about a km and you find a
little carpark, just as the road takes another turn to the right. So
my map tells me.

My phone number is 86827702 (and Joachim, if you are an hour late,
tough!). I hope to have found it myself by then!

Meet at 11.15
Start walking/running at 11.30 prompt
Cost: 10 Lt for drinks and entertainment

Loose End

Car share - meet at the bottom of Pilies...cars leave at exactly 11am so be there on time! And if you have a car please help out giving lifts as this one is a bit far out, man.

Next trail...made of ketchup! Irish Breakfast, 27 April

Hello all,

Today's trail was super! It took us up and round a really pretty part of Vilnius at the end of Subacius that I've never seen before. The park had some really nice views and I think I will def hop back to see the Pushkin museum. Thanks for Last Virgin for setting the runners and walkers trails. Hooray! At it didn't rain at all, winner!

We have a week off next week, and then on 27 April it's time for a well-earned Irish Breakfast. Meet at 11:30 at The Dubliner, Dominikonou 6.

May and June have a full bill of events, but I would still like a couple of people to volunteer to set trails in July so we can have a complete season before the summer break in August. To volunteer just drop me an email at vilniushhh@gmail.com with the date that works for you.

Next event Sunday 13 April

Dear Hashers,

This Sunday‘s hash will be in Markuciai.


How to get there:

By public transport: bus No. 10 – to the very end of the bus line,
Markuciai stop. In town the bus stops are at Zaliasis tiltas, Karaliaus
Mindaugo, Arkikatedra.

By car: go straight by Subaciaus street, do not cross the Vilnele River
for Olandu or Batoro street. Still go on straight by an old winding
Subaciaus street. You will see the entrance to Markuciai park. Car
parking is on the left from the entrance.

Be there by 11:15. The start will be at 11:30. Cost is 10 lt for beers
and drinks.

And remember the car pool– if lifts are required then meet at the bottom
of Pilies before 11:00 (if you come there at 11:01 – you will not find
anybody waiting there). Hopefully Barbara and Mike will help us with
lift, as they usually kindly do. And please, those whose route will be
passing the place – stop there too – may be your help for a lift will be
needed as well.

If lost, call Liliana (Last Virgin) at 861606577.

Lunch place will be defined when we meet in Markuciai.

Here's a quick report from Squeaky about last Sunday's event...use the comments section to add any thoughts!

The hash on Sunday at Zverynas set by Silvertongue was brilliant. A lovely day and beautiful scenery. A nice crowd also turned up. We had lunch at a place called Verandah which turned out to be a very pleasant place indeed.

Next event in Sunday 13 April...details coming soon!

Dear Hashers,

Anyone intending to go to the hash on Sunday ( Squeaky and Jauciu will be there ) and who needs transport, meet at the Cathedral end of Pilies for 11.00. One minute after 11.00 and we will have gone. Otherwise meet at the hash meeting place for 11.15 - start time is 11.30.

On on,

Squeaky

Next event Sunday 6 April

Dear All,

The Hash on 6th April will be in Karoliniskiu Parkas/Slaitas. Let's meet at Zveryno Ziedas, the car park/terminus for buses 11 & 32 on Seliu g. in Zverynas. Ref G6 on the Vilnius city map (if you have the 1:20,000 version as I do).The car park is free but not guarded.

By public transport from town, trolleybuses # 1,3 & 7 and bus #11 from 'Islandijos' stop at the start of Pamenkalnio. They go along Pamenkalnio, over the river & turn right through Zverynas. Then they turn left onto Seliu g. Get off the trolleybus here ('Seliu' stotele), across the road from IKI. Cross, and with IKI on your left head to the car park ~100m up to your left. If you take the bus, stay on till the end of the line, in the car park. (www.vilniustransport.lt for more info - times, etc).
See you Sunday!

LAST WORDS FROM KILTMAN

It is with regret that I have decided to resign as blogmaster for the Vilnius HHH. Over the last year I have been discouraged by the lack of support from members of VHHH. Numbers attending HHH activities have fallen & the number of actual Hashes held has dropped.

It has been said often enough on this blog and elsewhere that the Hash cannot expect the same two or three people to do everything. Lots of people come up with ideas about how to improve the Hash numbers.... but no one is prepared to back thier ideas with action.

Kiltman has decided enough is enough.... time for others to take thier share.

So long and thanks for all the fish:)

HASH 320 - SUNDAY 27th

Next Sunday's Hash is an active hash!

Not one where you sit on your butt piling on the calories, but where
you move it and work off a few, if we have anything to do with it
(before going in and ....)!

So be there!

Meeting time: 11.15 for an 11.30 sharp start
Cars pick up at the bottom of Pilies at 11 sharp (if you miss them,
you can still manage to run to the meeting point)
Cost: a flat 10 LT for drinks, regardless of how much or little you
drink, 5lt for children

Meeting point:
It's the bridge in Zverynas that goes over to Vingio parkas; it's in
Birutes g.. Plenty of car parking spaces. You go on the main route
into Zverynas, and you turn (right or left, depending which direction
you come from) at Moniuszko, or Pusu or Treniotos or Traidenio gatve
and go as far as you can, and you'll see the suspension bridge (if you
don't know what is a suspension bridge think Golden Gate bridge). If
instead you see the Parliament and two bridges you have turned the
wrong way, but Zverynas is not big.

HASH 319 - Sunday 13th January

SQUEAKY & YK have agreed to act as Hares for Hash 319 this Sunday. Not sure exactly where yet but DeepShag will send an email out before the weekend.... so check your 'inbox'.

JANUARY HASH PROGRAMME

HAPPY NEW YEAR.......

We plan to run hashes in January as below.... but we need hares so someone needs to volunteer:)

Hash 319 - January 13th
Hash 320 - January 27th

HASH Irish Breakfast - Dubliner January 20th at 11:00 am

HASH Bowling Evening - Akropolis Tuesday January 29th at 19:00 pm

NEW YEAR DAY HASH - JAN 1st 2008

Merry Christmas to you all...

VHHH New Year Hash will happen.... January 1st... 14:00 start... Vingis Park.... down by the singing concert stadium:)

Kiltman is hare.

CHRISTMAS 2007

A very Merry Christmas 2007 to all Hashers where ever you may be during the holiday season :) Let's hope the snow forecast for today in Vilnius comes & that at least there is some 'whiteness' over Vilnius on December 25th.

Perhaps now is not the correct time or place to comment but Kiltman would just like to add a few lines about what's missing in the VHHH this Christmas:

1. We had no Christmas Party
2. We have no Boxing Day Hash

Why.....???? No one came forward to volunteering to host, help, plan, encourage or in anyway get involved in arrangements for any of these events.... indeed it seems an ongoing situation through 2007 & on into 2008!!!

There will be a New Year's Hash on Jan 1st at 14:00 in Vingis Park [Kiltman as hare] but beyond that & into 2008 we have nothing.

We want to arrange bowling nights and other things... but if no one comes to the Hash then we have no income.... and if no one volunteers to hare then we have no hash!!!

IT IS YOUR HASH - MAKE IT YOUR RESOLUTION IN 2008 TO CONTRIBUTE, TO PUT SOMETHING BACK & NOT JUST TAKE!!!!

VILNIUS MARATHON 2008

OK.... so VHHH is a 'drinking club with a running problem' or 'a running club with a drinking problem' or neither of those... :) Whatever your description of VHHH the Vilnius Marathon or Vilnius half Marathon makes a great target for 2008. Being held on September 13th 2008 the course winds its merry way round scenic Vilnius....

9 months is plenty of time to prepare for either full or half marathon... decide to enter NOW :)

BREAKFAST AT THE DUBLINER - SUNDAY 16th DEC

With the Christmas Season (Festive Season if you are being politically correct) coming & many Hashers going away for the holidays then we thought it's time to start the Hash Breakfast!!

Join us at the DUBLINER at 11:00 on Sunday to enjoy a traditional Irish Breakfast.... eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, hash browns, tea and orange juice.... costs about 30lts all together:)

Highly recommended... a great 'fry up'

Kiltman

PS - Dubliner opens at 11:00 so don't be too early:)

BURNS NIGHT JANUARY 26th

More info slowly appearing on Burn's Night. The floor plan above shows the tables on the main floor. We have reserved tables 9 & 10 - so 24 places in total.

The dancing etc takes place on the balcony (up the stairs near our tables).

Contact Barbara as soon as possible if interested. No exact details on the cost of tickets yet... except there is an increase on last years price (2007) but I can't remember how much they were:)

HASH 317 - SUNDAY DEC 9th

Details arrived from NEEDLES (Sunday's Hare).... look's like an Old Town Hash... or it could go out along the river... only way to find out is to come along:)

Our next hash will be this Sunday, December 9, 2007. It will start at the corner of Subacius g. and Boksto g.,at the fort. 11:30 start running/walking.

See you on Sunday,

On on!

Guess there's no need for a carpool for this one!!!

Usual cost - 10lts per adult to cover cost of drinks etc etc.

NEXT HASH 317

Well VH3 Hash 317 is meant to be this weekend (December 3rd) if my calculations are correct - but not heard anything about it so I guess it's not happening:)

Latest rumours are that NEEDLES has volunteered to be hare for a HASH on December 7th... further details as available:)

Kiltman suggest we have our 1st monthly breakfast meeting on Sunday December 14th at 11:00 at the Dubliner. A full traditional breakfast with fresh orange & black tea is around 30 lts. Watch this Space.....

Not sure about our traditional Boxing Day hash.... we need a volunteer to act as hare.

About New Year's Day Hash.... Kiltman will volunteer to act as hare... 14:00 start time in Vingis Park

WE NEED HARES FOR 2008 - NO HARES , NO HASH

BURN's NIGHT

Ok - it's getting close to that time of next year..... Burn's Night... January 25th or 26th... not sure. Location is at New York we are led to believe.... (OK... checked, it's Saturday 26th January).

Keep your diary free:)
