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!)

It's time to fatten up again with nice thick Irish Sausages, bacon eggs and a wee cup of tea:)

It's Irish Breakfast time...

Sunday November 30th, 11:30* ish at the DUBLINER.

* the 11:30 is 'ish' coz we all know how good time keeping is:)

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.

On On!

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!

Next event Sunday 5 October

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

Howay all VH3ers,

The next trail, on Sunday, 20th July, will start at the ski slope at the crossroads of Liepkalnos g and Minsku plentas. Liepkalnos is the road that starts at Ausros Vartu and goes straight out of town, going past the Lokomotivo sports stadium, a graveyard, and continues until it reaches the dual carriageway. At the crossroads turn left and then left again at the first turning, towards the ski slope and restaurant. Hint - it's the only hill nearby!

Car share meet at 11.00 at the bottom of Pilies, be on time!
Be there at 11.15
start walking/running at 11.30 on the dot
10 LT for beer and other refreshments

not sure I can guarantee on-the-hoof catering like Last Virgin!
Loose End

note from Needles - this is a supernice area AND the last VH3 trail of the season! Final event will be an Irish Breakfast on 27 July at The Dubliner then August sees holiday time!

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!
