HASH 307 SUNDAY MAY 27th

UNFORTUNATELY IT APPEARS THERE IS NO HARE AVAILABLE FOR THE NEXT HASH ON SUNDAY 27th - SO IT WON'T HAPPEN!

If things change then Needles will advise everyone by email.

It's never said often enough... but if you want to Hash we need people to set trails... no HARE then no HASH!!!

Hopefully someone will be willing and able to set the trail for the June 10th Hash.....

RESTING PLACE POLL

Squeaky has decreed in true democratic fashion that the Hash Social Events will take place in THE DUBLINER. Kiltman still argues the corner od AMATININKAI is best... we want your thoughts:)

Post them on the comments !!!!!

BOWLING TUESDAY MAY 22

Just a reminder to everyone about the next Hash Bowling:

TUESDAY MAY 22

19:30 to 21:30

AKROPOLIS

Cost is 15 lts per person / kids free

We have 2 lanes booked for a total of 16 persons. Please advise in advance if you plan to come.... if you don't & you are number 17 then you'll need to sit & watch from the side :)

HASH 306 SUNDAY MAY 13th

As the weather is very unpredictable 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.

How to get there:

Go straight Antakalnis street to Nemencines road past Plento Baras and further. Turn right to Karaciunu street (at the turn you will see a big poster advertising Topeliu water sports). Then go about 350 metres and turn right again before the gray fence, go another 50 metres and park there.

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. And remember our car pool – if lifts are required then 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 at 861606577.

Lunch will be in Plento baras.

On on

HASH WEDNESDAY

Coming to a bar near you (Amatininkai) the next instalement of 'Hash Wednesday' !!! You can turn up at 19:00 and enjoy an easy jog round the Old Town... or appear just after 20:00 for a bit of banter washed down with a glass of amber liquid:)

HASH CHARITY EFFORT

VH3 has maybe been a little bit behind in it's charity effort's over the last year or so.... shame on us!!! Yeah, yeah I hear you all say... we all help the less fortunate in our own way.... but that's no excuse!!! So here's an easy scheme to put together:


We all get those little 1, 2 & 5 centai coins... you know them well... they disappear into corners of pockets & get forgotten about until washing time (MP finds them every 20 minutes:))... so why not stick them in an old clean jar of M&S curry sauce & come December 1st we can collect them all, convert into usable cash & put to a good cause.... GO FOR IT !!!!!!

WHERE'S THE BEST CURRY IN VILNIUS????

No... it's not Sue's Restaurant... it is, in fact, on the shelves of the little food section of the new Marks & Spensers :)

Sunday 29 April

Here are the details for the hash on Sunday, 29 April:

Meet at 11:15 to start at 11:30. Bring along your 10 Lt to cover refreshments at the end.

It's in the district of Seskine.

Come from wherever it is convenient for you to the big junction of Akropolis and turn to Gelvonu street (it is the one that goes straight forward from Akropolis) and follow the street untill you pass Maxima X an soon you will see a parking lot on the right with the sign for AUTOSERVISAS by the end of it. Here is a smal semi-circle for parking and this is the meeting point for hashers.

On the left in front you will see yellow kiosks - you don't have to pass them, stop before on the right.

For those who are coming by bus, the bus stop is called GELVONU, buses No 53 (Stotis - Fabijoniskes), No 40 (Lukiskes -Fabijoniskes), No 56 and No 75.
And don't forget the car-share...meet at the castle end of Pilies at 11:00 - if you have a car and have spaces please turn up to help give those who don't have transport!

on on on

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

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
