VH3 HASH - SUNDAY JUNE 14th

Rise from hibernation.

The Hash on June 14 will be held approximately 15-20 km away from Vilnius in the direction of Kaunas, near Stirniai, along the Saidės Creek (see the attached map). You may read more about the place in the website: http://www.neriesparkas.lt/?id=69&l=1

Hares will be Loreta and Liliana.

Perhaps we should recall our car pool tradition. This time let us meet at the parking in front of RIMI on Savanoriu at 10:45 on Sunday, 14 June.

Loreta’s mobile is: 8 679 98186

Liliana’s mobile: 8 616 06577.

We are looking forward to meet you all.

Well.... the promised location map will appear later coz the oringinal won't copy here for some reason :(

IRISH BREAKFAST APRIL 26th

Yes.... it's almost the end of April (use your imagination).... so it's Irish Breakfast time...

Sunday April 26th
The Dubliner Pub

12:00 until............

VH3 SUMMER TOUR 2009

Hokay..... we've been talking about another tour to follow on from the successful Whisky Tour of 2008.... lets have a discussion & see who wants to go where & when...

Lithuania might be in the midst of a great big recession.... but unless the litas is devalued then it makes the UK a very cheap (ish) venue :)

Now Ryanair are flying to Liverpool.... so that suggests the English Lakes might be a good idea.... instead of a Whisky Tour we could have a CAMRA tour (CAMERA = Campaign for Real Ale)....

Thoughts??????

VH3 FORUM

Hi,

We have a forum site.... on lithuania-forum.com .... hopefully we can use this area as a means of discussion... where is a good place for a Hash, suggest some social activities... complain, promote and so on.... go on, you know you want to :)

IRISH BREAKFAST MARCH 29th

Our next Irish Breakfast will be held at the Dubliner this coming Sunday........ confirming the time as 12:00 new time :)

One Hasher wrote this:-

However, why not book it for 11.30 as normal but warn people about the hour change. Otherwise, smarties will change their clocks and still turn up at 12.30 ( changed time ) rather than 11.30 ( pre-changed time ) ? You could say for example "11.30 new time" or "11.30 - that's after you've changed your clocks" or "12.30 - new time" ( whichever you want ).

And also warn them ( because some still get confused ( North American teachers particularly ) that the clocks move forward from 02.00 to become 03.00 ( and not the other way round! ).

VH3 HASH MAD MARCH 1st

Details of the HASH this Sunday below.... if a lift is needed be at bottom of Pymlio at 11:00. Usual 10 lts for drinks etc etc. Parking at the little Red Flag................

Trail by a daft Scotsman....

VH3 on FACEBOOK?

Someone has suggested we set up a FACEBOOK page for Vilnius HHH..... any thoughts on this? Kiltman is quite happy to set it up....

Also it's likely we'll have an AGM (Annual General Meeting) soon.... we haven't had one for sometime.... info to follow....

Also someone offered to set a trail on last Sunday in Feb (21st I think). Anyway that's normally IRISH BREAKFAST.... so the BREAKFAST can be delayed until after the Hash!!!!!

Comments below please:)

VH3 - WHAT IS IT???

Thought it might be a good idea to remind old & new what Hashing really is..... have a look at this link from UK Hashing:)

http://www.hhh.org.uk/hashhints.htm

ONLY IN THE UK!!!!!

Britain is well known for traffic & travel difficulties... leaves on rail tracks stop the trains, a couple of centimetres of snow brings the country to a standstill... and now we have the latest... beer & marshmallows have closed a major highway.. the M42...

Part of the M42 is shut after a six-vehicle crash sent marshmallows and beer spilling out onto the carriageway.... according to the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7753931.stm

VH3 IRISH BREAKFAST - NOVEMBER 30th (to be sure, to be sure!)

NOVEMBER 23rd HASH - VINGIS PARK

Good afternoon everyone,
Rain, snow, or sun . . . Planning to set a Hash for this Sunday at Vingio Park. Hopefully, being close to town, many will be able to make it despite the weather. Let's meet at the entrance to the park on M.K. Ciurlionio gatve at 11:30 on Sunday morning.

Please let me know if you need additional information.

See you there.

THE BIG HASH MEETING

Hi Hashers,

We had a hash meeting last night at the Dubliner to decide whether the hash will continue. 8 people attended and I was very disappointed that none of our Lithuanian hashers came along to support us.

It was decided that we would have a hash on November 16th set by Deep Shag and Squeeky and another on the 23rd November set by either Mary Jam or William. Kiltman will be setting one on the 7th December which is the day after the International Christmas Bazaar at Rotuse and is also Deep Shag's birthday.

Thanks to all those who have offered. Obviously we need more people setting hashes.

One kind person who, at this stage will remain nameless has offered to throw a hogmanay ( New Years Eve ) party and is throwing it open to hashers. You will need to bring a bottle of spirits if that is what you drink.

We are bringing back the credits system so if you set a hash you will get credits and if you attend a hash you will get credits. This means that you can use them to pay for things like social events or T-shirts etc. We will start this in January. There is also talk of a hash Christmas party but we need suggestions for a venue ( place to hold it )

If anyone has any other ideas or suggestions then we would love to hear from you and see you on the hashes.

Next event: Irish breakfast!

Dear all,

Next event on Sunday 26 October is an Irish Breakfast at The Dubliner, Dominikonu 6, from 11:30am onwards. Squeaky is booking the table to ensure bacon!

Here is the list of concerts at the Philharmonic. Perhaps if there is a group who would like to go you can get in touch with each other by leaving comments here on the blog. Please use the comments section of this blog entry and don't email as I'm afraid that I have a lot of deadlines at the moment and so can't answer or coordinate by email on this occasion.

Which reminds me...as I am bowing out soon, get thinking if you are free to help run the VH3! AGM soon!

Howay hashers,

Hooray to those of you who came for the end of autumn trail at Belmontas. It was superlovely, and the drizzle wasn't too bad at all. The trail was bolstered by caches and cash! Ask what that means at the next event: Irish Breakfast at The Dubliner, Sunday 26 October, Dominikonu 6, 11:30 onwards!

The Hashflash Mary Jam (Pole) took some photos, some of the spectacular HV at the peak of the trail. The photo doesn't do it justice, but if you can get over to the hills before the leaves all leave then do, so pretty! Photos here:

Another note - I'll be moving on soon and next month is stupidly hectic so us at VH3HQ are thinking about having an AGM (despite its name, a rather sporadic affair) so look out for a notice, come along and get involved in the running of the club!

Hello hashers!

The next trail will be on Sunday 5 October set by Loose End.
Start is at the bridge in Zverynas (going into Vingiu Parkas), just
off Birute's Gatve. You can't miss it!

Arrive: 11.15
Start: 11.30
Cost: 10 LT for beers, other drinks etc

Should be tip top!

And for those of you who came along to the Irish Breakfast...I have to offer a sheepish apology. Sorry folks, I had a useless week and forgot to book the table. My bad. I had phoned up on 4 or occasions to try to book it, but it was always engaged and my good intentions to try again later failed absolutely. I seem to have a chronic memory failure every 6 months or so, so I send out my apologies and will bring along sweeties to the next trail to make up for it. And I overslept this morning, oh dear. Well, reboot and a fresh week begins tomorrow. Bring it on!

all the best

Best H3 trail ever!

Hi all,

I name today's event Best H3 trail ever! Thank you Liliana, it was fantastic! We collected blueberries, wild strawberries and the odd mystery mushroom as we went along what I think must have been the slowest trail ever! I just finished eating the berry crumble I made with the fruits of this morning's trail!

Next event is a trail set by Loose End on Sunday 20 July, details soon...

Next event Sunday 13 July

Dear Hashers,

This Sunday‘s hash will be near Liliana‘s summerhouse in Karaciunai (see the attached map), so that if it rains we would be able to hide under the roof. And perhaps we will be able to have sausages on fire, if wanted.

How to get there:

Go straight Antakalnis street to Nemencines road past Plento Baras and continue further until the road gets narrower (two lanes instead of four), then after some 900 metres turn right to Karaciunu street (at the turn you will see a big poster advertising Topeliu water sports). Then go about 300 metres and turn right again before the gray fence, go another 50 metres and park there in front of the wood.

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

You may get there by bus 17 or 39. I do not know if in summer the car pool will be operating, hopefully somebody will be so kind and go there with car, then – if lifts are required you could meet at the bottom of Pilies before 11:00 (if you come there at 11:02 – you will not find anybody waiting there).

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

Lunch will be decided later on. It means one option is the sausages on fire, another option may be the Caucasian Bar not far from the Karaciunai bus stop.

On on

Note from Needles: an email will go out about the car pool - if you can take some people please drop an email over to vilniushhh@gmail.com and I hope there will be some folks able to, I for one need a lift! Also I'll let everyone know about the lunch then too - both bbq and cafe are good plans!

Next event Sunday 6 July

Hello July, hello all,

The first event of the month will be on Sunday 6 July. I'm setting the trail and it will start at 11:30 prompt from bottom of Pilies gatve. Meet at 11:15 with 10 Lt to cover beverages!

Hey all,

I've not had any volunteers to cover this Sunday so there won't be an event. I have, however, got a brimming programme for July...but first the end of June:

Sunday 29 June - Irish Breakfast at The Dubliner, Dominikonu 6, 11:30 onwards, table booked under Needles

So to July. This is our last month of activity before the summer break in August - we have something on each weekend so hope to catch those of you in town! The trails of the past few months have taken us into some particularly pretty parts of Vilnius - unknown parks, hills with spectacular views across the rivers and forests. They've been well worth coming along to!

Sunday 6 July - trail by Needles
Sunday 13 July - trail by Last Virgin
Sunday 20 July - trail by Loose End
Sunday 27 July - Irish Breakfast

and we get to rest for the whole of August! Info for the starting points of the trails will be emailed closer to the time of each event and posted on the Blog.

Next event Irish Breakfast, Sunday 25 May

Hello all,

The trail on Sunday was fantastic! An all-female cast turned out for a really supernice trail through the woods and cliffs near the tv tower and some of the views at the top of the cliffs overlooking the river were really spectacular, I certainly enjoyed it. And it was extra good as it didn't rain and although warm, in the trees it was quite fresh! Thanks to Silvertongue for setting the route!

The next trail will be...the one made with ketchup on your plate as it is time for the monthly Irish Breakfast at The Dubliner, Dominikonu 6, 11:30 am onwards. I've booked a table in the name of Needles, but yet again I am out of town, so enjoy!

We have a nice programme for June which I will circulate later, but I am still looking for volunteers for July before we have August off for the summer break.

If you would like to set a trail you don't have to do it alone - either get together in pairs or threes, or just send vilniushhh@gmail.com an email and we can matchmake trail-setters! As a thank you to the hare you don't have to pay the 10Lt for the event you set the trail for (something we've done for a long time but always worth mentioning again!)

The dates to choose for July are:
Sunday 6 July
Sunday 13 July
Sunday 20 July
Sunday 27 July - Irish breakfast

Enjoy breakfast, and see you all in June!

Sunday 18th May

The next Hash is on Sunday 18th May.

Let's meet at 11:15 at the Maxima car park in Karoliniskes, which is next to the Karolina Hotel. It's at the bottom of square H4 on the Vilnius city map.

Public transport: trolleybuses 1 & 3 from the station or Pamenkalnio g. go to Kometa stop. From both stops, you have to cross in an eastwards diretion to the Maxima/hotel. Trolleybus 16 also runs from the station to Karoliniskes stop.

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.

My phone number is 8689 60404.

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.

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:)

FULL MOON HASH (White Sticky Stuff)

Saturday's Full Moon Hash was well attended by VH3 standards - with around 10 people braving the elements:) It was a horrible wet night & the hardy hashers found it hard to leave the warmth & comfort of Amatininku for the streets of The Old Town.... but being brave fellows we soon entered into the spirit of things & hashed our way past one of our old hunting grounds (Austukai) which looks as though it will soon re-open as a psuedo wine bar (seats don't look as comfortable & there are no obvious barrels for Kiltman to dance on).

On, on we went for our short little hash to pass our drinks stop at a new wine bar on Traku... BoBo... there must be at least 500 bottles of wine on display... but only 1 version of house by the glass... but Czech Budvar & lots of bottled beer:)

From there onto that Irish hotspot called the Dubliner for a bite to eat.... IceHole made an appearance being allowed out from Belerus & Andy & Lena were welcome newcomers to the VH3.... no circle because it was late & we were inside....

PS - forgot to mention the title..... it could either be Kiltman thinking about his breakfast date with ***** from ******** or the fact that flour turns to glue when wet & cheap flour is in very thin bags that disintigrate a first sign of rain:)

BREAKFAST @ THE DUBLINER

An early morning run for 55mins round the forests of Sepagine followed by the reason.... traditional Irish / Scottish / English breakfast at The Dubliner - perfect! Where do they get the bacon from ?

2 fried eggs, 2 sausages, 2 big juicy rashers of bacon, fried tomato, mushrooms & beans.... fresh orange juice and black tea with milk... perfect...

Kiltman suggests it should become a regular once a month Hash meeting... thoughts???

FULL MOON HASH 317 SATURDAY 24th NOVEMBER

Saturday is a Full Moon so time for a gentle Hash.... not a run, not a pub crawl but something in between in and around the Old Town of Vilnius:)

Starting at Amatininku at 19:00 and ending up at the Dubliner for dinner at around 20:30. We'll manage a quick drink stop on the route:)

Hare is Kiltman.... phone +370 653 10009 if you need to find the pack.

There might or might not be the usual charge of 10 lts for drinks etc - we'll decide on the night:)

ON, ON....

HASH 316 SUNDAY NOVEMBER 18th

So this Sundays’ hash will be at Verkiu Malunas. Regular start at 11:30. Let’s meet at the parking lot by the restaurant in the old mill called Vandens Malunas, the exact address is Verkiu g. 100.

This will be our starting point and also a place for lunch after the hash J and there will be a special down down for a birthday hasher!

As normal there will be a car pool from the Cathederal end of Pilies. Please be there by 10:59 as the cars will go at 11:00 :)

Cost is 10 lts for adults... covers cost of drinks etc etc. Kids free

Winter rules:)

HASH 315 NOVEMBER 4th ONON

If you don't come to the Hash (which you should) then at least you can join the ON, ON. It's only a short drive from the HASH venue (see posting below) to the Old Town & the bar. For non-hashers I guess we'll be there around 13:30 to 14:00 for lunch & beer:)

BOWLING CANCELLED

The Bowling Evening booked for this Wednesday (Oct 24th) is CANCELLED. Only 1 person indicated they were coming!!

SUNDAY HASH NOVEMBER 4th

An early warning.... our next weekend VHHH hash is scheduled for Sunday November 4th. It'll happen in the forest up behind the Lithuanian Military Academy. Start time 11:30.

An early warning.... our next weekend VHHH hash is scheduled for Sunday November 4th. It'll happen in the forest up behind the Lithuanian Military Academy. Start time 11:30.

There has been a lot of work done in this park over the last couple of years and there is now a very good surfaced path network which is easily suitable for kids & walkers etc. There are a few sets of steps up & down some of the steeper hills but in general the entire trail is quite flat.... for the walkers:) Kiltman promises that the runners will know they have thighs at the end of the trail as one or two or even three steep hills will creep into the run:)

Plan at the moment is for a reasonably long trail... but if the weather is bad it'll be shortened:)

MARINE CORPS BALL

Yes it's the time of year when the Colonials celebrate the birthday of their fighting forces!! The Marine Corps Ball. It being held at the Lithuanian Military Academy on November 10th. Major Pain will be organising tables for those interested in going - email with statement of interest:)

Come one, come all! MSG Detachment Vilnius, Lithuania proudly announces their Marine Corps Ball to be held on the 10th of November, 2007.

Please see the flyer for other important information!

This is a formal occasion and your 100 LT ticket gets you in to Hors D'euvers, a before dinner aperitif, the Ball Ceremony - to include Marine Corps Birthday Cake Ceremony - a full sit down dinner with Avocado and shrimp or dried ham salad, Fillet of Beef, Chicken Breast Rolls with Ham Stuffing, or Salmon and Turton in Filo Pastries (please place order at time of ticket purchase), cake, coffee, tea, wine, juice, mineral water, a Cash Bar and Dancing the Night Away!!

Special nutritional concerns need to be addressed at ticket purchase in order for us to be able to accommodate those with restrictions/allergies, etc.

SEATING WILL BE DECIDED AT TICKET PURCHASE, SO BUY EARLY!! TICKETS WILL BE ON SALE IN THE GUNNY'S OFFICE FROM 1100-1300 EACH WEEK DAY.

BOWLING OCT 24th 19:30

Kiltman has booked 2 lanes at Akropolis Bowling for Wednesday Oct 24th from 19:30 to 21:30.

Maximum number should be around 16. Cost will be determined by those that show up...... normally around 15 lts but no promises.

Please email to indicate if you are planning to come.

OCTOBER BBQ HASH

A large group (for VHH) turned out for the BBQ Hash at JK & Squeekies new house in the deep, dark forests about 35km from Vilnius. Kiltman set the trail which was relatively sedate with no great hills in it:) Most of the Hashers were walkers & they were trustily lead by Kiltman junior (aka Megan). Folks were out and about for the best part of an hour which was ok given the cold wind & not so warm teperatures (but not cold enough for the City to turn the heating on)! [ one highlight for hare Megan was picking up a group of 'random Canadian's ' in the forest towards the end of the trail:)]

Meanwhile back inside our two Colonial types had decide to forsake excercise & concentrate on the art of eating & drinking... which they accomplished in great style... PS bbq's a mean bit of meat:)

Next VHHH Hash will be on NOVEMBER 4th in VINGIS PARK.... details nearer the time (but there is also a Full Moon Hash due at end of October)

OCTOBER 14th HASH..... Timings

Seems like the notice below advertising the VHHH hash / bbq this Sunday forgot to mention timings.... these are (of course) just a little bit important... so:

1. CAR POOL - 11:00 departure from bottom of Pilies (please email if you need / can offer space)

2. HASH START - well allowing everyone to find the place from the centre of town (or center for the Colonials) then the Hash should aim to start at 12:00 rather than the normal 11:30

And of course also forgot to mention the cost.....

10 lts for adults covering all the normal things.... children free:)

Hare is Kiltman...............

VHH HASH 314 - SUNDAY OCT 14th

*** FORCAST IS +8 & SUNSHINE***

Our next event will be a walk/run followed by a BBQ on Sunday October 14 come rain or shine, at Barbara and Mike's place outside of the city.

It will be out at a village called Dailides close to Rudiskes
and is about 35k from Vilnius. We will provide most food and all drink
but we ask that, where possible, a few salads or desserts could be
brought. We are hoping that if the weather is not so good then we will
have a bonfire and I know that we have a large gazebo/tent/marquee
hidden away at the back of the garage. Whether Mike will be able to
unearth it is another matter.

We will need to know numbers and how many cars are available for
transporting people.

DIRECTIONS


Take Savanoriu road out of Vilnius

Get to top of the hill and bear right towards Trakai

Go through two sets of traffic lights

Approximately 300 meters after the second set of lights bear right
towards Druskininkai along the A4

Follow that road passing a café on the right after the 26km distance
marker

Approximately 500m after the café there is a sign on the right
'Rudiskes
12'

Take that road

Pass through Bakieriskes and pass 2 signs Paluknys 4 and Zeronys 8
following the road to the right each time

After another 3.5km you will see a camping sign on the right 'Harmonie
100m' and pointing to the left.

Take that left turn but once on that track keep bearing to the right.
DO NOT GO THROUGH THE GATES INTO HARMONIE

Follow the road for approximately 1 km through the village passing a
small lake on the left and then a yellow house on the right.

The last house on the outskirts of the village, the one with the red
roof, is where you are aiming for.

Good luck


TAKE NOTE. THERE WILL BE NO OUTSIDE SHOES ALLOWED IN THE HOUSE SO BARE
FEET, SOCKS OR INSIDE SHOES WILL BE REQUIRED

If you get lost Barbara's number is 8 685 212 43.

Forward Planning

Thanks to all those who turned up at Amatininku to decide the next 6 months of Vilniushhh.Major Pain has agreed to help run the hash.

It was decided to have a once monthly hash plus a full-moon hash and more social events.
We are hoping to hold a once monthly bowling night at Akropolis as these appear to be popular with young and old alike.

As mentioned before there will be a hash/BBQ on the 14th October. We will be celebrating two birthdays. If anyone knows of anymore birthday events around this time, then let Squeeky know.

On the 15th December there will be a hash Christmas Party. Details nearer the time.

CAPITAL DAYS HASH LUNCH

Capital days begins tonight so how about gathering for a Capital hash
lunch on Sunday 2nd September. 12.30 at Artistai on Kazimeirov which
is
off Subaciaus opposite the Philharmonic. For the brave ones there is a
lovely courtyard - for the not so brave, we can eat inside.

Another email will follow soon regarding the plans for the next 6
months

WOT..... NO BEER

Just spotted below on the In Your Pocket Blog:

Kiltman will be in Amatininkai with a tab:)

It will be illegal to sell alcohol in Lithuania on September 1 this year. The ban will affect all cafes, hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs, shops and supermarkets. Minibars in hotels will be locked, or will have alcohol removed.

September 1 is traditionally a big day for drinking. We don't totally understand why but it has a lot to do with the start of the academic year. Both students and their parents in Lithuania seem to like to celebrate the start of the school year in the same way that everyone else celebrates the end of it.

HASH 312 SUNDAY AUGUST 19th

the next Vilnius Hash will take place on Sunday 19th August. (well after Hash 311 on Wednesday August 15th that is)

Pick up at the bottom of Pilies, for those wanting a lift, at 11 am prompt - or you'll need to walk!

Meet at 11.15
Start running/walking at 11.30
Cost for drinks etc 10 Lt per person (less for children)


Meeting place is in Gelvonu gatve, at the car park next to the Gelvonu bus stop facing away from the Akropolis.

Directions:
Gelvonu gatve is directly opposite the Akropolis entrance; go down the road about half a mile or so; the bus stop is on your right, just before a little dip (where the houses finish (temporarily) on both sides of the road), and there's a market on your left. The name of the bus stop is written on it, I think. There's a wee place to park your cars near it, or, should you wish to drink, you can easily take the bus....

Loose End

SUMMER OF INACTIVITY

Well after a summer of nothingness from VHHH we have 2 hashes in a week.... just like the number 42 bus... none for ages then 2 come along at once....

You can read details of Hash 311 below this post & details of 312 (Sunday) above this post....

HASH 311 - WEDNESDAY - VINGIS PARK

Hello all,

Next run is this Wednesday 15 August. It will start from the Ciurlionis gatve entrance to Vingis Park at 19:30. It won't be a regular trail but there will be directions and something to spot en route. Check the blog where there should be a nice little map for the start when Kiltman has had chance to get the info on there later today. Drinks after in the Nightingale in Vingis Park.

(bring your insect repellent!)

Then, Sunday will be the next proper trail...info later in the week.

Needles is putting on the next hash (311) on Wednesday August 15th somewhere in Vilnius..... information will be reaching an inbox near you soon:)

NEW HASH IN POLAND

Dear Vilnius Hashers!

We are establishing a Sopot Hash House Harriers. Our Run Number One is planned for Saturday 22 September. We hope to have significant representation from Warsaw, Berlin, Vilnius, and any other neighboring Hashes (Stockholm? Kaliningrad/Konigsburg?). Sopot is an old spa town on the Baltic easily reached by road, rail or air (Gdansk airport = GDN). Please let us know if/how many will be coming. Hotel information is easily found through www.inyourpocket.com. Hashers get a 10% discount with the hotel at www.mokwy.com. Haffner, Grand, Rezydent, Zhong Hua and Sedan hotels are also conveniently located. We hope to see you in Sopot!

Our Yahoo group is "SopotHash". Find more about Warsaw through the Yahoo group "WarsawHash".

AUGUST & BEYOND

This is advance notice for a couple of events coming up after the July break.

15th August = Mid week event set by Needles, details soon.

19^th August = Hash set by Loose End, details soon as to where, but put this date in your diary.

29th August = Hash meeting, come to Amantininkiu (the man on the barrel) to talk about how the HHH can operate

HASH 310

Still no news on future hashes. So it would seem that Hash 310 on Sunday 22nd July isn't going to happen.........

ENJOY A WEE DRAM

While doing a bit of business in Sweden Kiltman came across an interesting possibility for a whisky tasting in Sweden in Feb 2008.

Air Baltic offer cheap flight across to Stockholm if booked long enough in advance....

Interest????
