AUGUST 8th HASH

Rumour has it that there will be a VH3 Hash on August 8th.... details here soon :)

SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Summer comes but once a year.... or is that Christmas? Anyway wherever you are for the summer - enjoy yourself :) Hopefully there might be some VH3 activites organised over the summer... but if not then think about putting something on after the holidays :)

BIKE & HIKE JUNE 12th

Dear Hashers,

On  Saturday June 12th there will be a hike and bike at Rudiskes which is 37k from Vilnius.  The event is to help to raise money for a sports hall at the local school.

My Dutch neighbour Wim Brauns is arranging it with help from me and Mike.

There will be trails to suit all types including children ( and me )

Drinks and snacks will be available .  If anyone is interested then please do let me know as soon as possible as we need to plan the event.  I will then send you more details and directions as to how to get there.

SPRING TIME HASHES (INCLUDING MOTHER'S DAY)

On Saturday we had a social evening at Sue's Indian Restaurant.  There were 28 of us, not just hashers.

It was a wonderfully mixed group and we all had a great time.  The restaurant worked very hard to serve us all at roughly the same time and I must congratulate Raj and his staff for making the evening go so well.

Now - one for your diaries.  On June 12th, a Saturday, there will be a bike and hike out at Buclos which is our neighbours place near to Rudiskes.

There will be trails of different severity, some suitable for children.

The idea is to raise money to build a sports hall for the local school.  

More details will be given nearer the time but there will be food and drink I am told and Wim ( the neighbour ) has already got the Dutch embassy on board.

Mike and I will be there helping out so please plan ahead and come and join us.

This coming Sunday 25th April 12.00 we will be having brunch at Uzupis Pizzeria which I am told actually does breakfasts though what they are like I don't yet know.

The Sunday after - 2nd May -  which is Mother's Day in Lithuania, there will be a hash, directions to follow later.

Have a great Spring,

On On

SUE'S INDIAN EVENING OUT - APRIL 17th

I was having a Hash House Harriers brunch at Tres Mexicanos today and a very dear friend who I had not seen for a while started to talk about the great evenings we had last year at various restaurants.  Between us we decided to do this again, so, the first Evening Munch Bunch will be on Saturday 17th April at 19.00. at Sues Indian Raj.

This is for spouses, family and friends - male and female - and is a lot of good social fun.

Please join us.

Needless to say I need names so that I know how many to book for - latest 15th April.

Have a great week ( for me it just cannot be any worse than the last one )

Yesterday I saw the first - for me - four storks flying overhead.  Our member Liliana told me that seeing them flying was good news and meant I would not get pregnant!!!!!   Ha!  Little does she know I don't need storks for that

VH3 ON FACEBOOK

VH3 now have a facebook page.... join as a friend and contribute :) It can be found via the email address of vilniushhh@gmail.com

As FB takes very little maintenance hopefully it'll increase communications... the blog & the email list will still continue as the main places of information on VH3

NEW DECADE HASH 1 & 2

A very happy and prosperous New Year from Mike ( Jauciu kaka ) and myself ( Squeeky )

Our favourite Scotsman ( well one of them anyway ) Kiltman will be visiting us next week from Monday to Thursday. So, we thought, how about a mid-week pub hash as we had in the 'old ' days.

Wednesday 13th January 19.00 at Mano Alibi on Totoriu gatve.  Let us know whether you will be joining us so that we don't leave for the next pub without you.

ALSO we will be having a  ' snow hash ' on Sunday 17th January at our house in Dailides with soup etc to warm you up afterwards.  We will be setting a trail through the snowy forest near our house.  12.00 meet to give you more time to get there.  Let us know if you will be joining us and whether you need directions. Also let us know if you need a lift so that we can organise a car sharing scheme.

ON ON

CONGRATULATIONS - VH3 COLONIALS

After a long campaign that started way back in late summer last Sunday (December 6th) brought the Final of the ManoAlibi pub quiz. 10 teams qualified out of around 150 who participated throughout the series.

Despite missing some star team members (me) The Colonials manged a very creditable 5th place... not bad considering the questions etc are in Lithuanian (with English translations).

It is understood that MaryJamPole was in town searching for guidance to help her quest in Mafia Wars :) :)

Enjoy Christmas everyone & please do something with VH£ so that when I return in 18 months it'll still be here :) :) :)

IRISH BREAKFAST = SUNDAY OCTOBER 25th, DUBLINER

Just a quick reminder about the VH3 Irish Breakfast at 12:00 at the Dubliner on Sunday, Oct 25th.

Can I suggest the opportunity is used to (again) discuss how VH3 is organised? I'm quite happy to keep the blog up to date and / or set up a facebook page and send emails out.... but seems daft to do this from the UK rather than locally :)

Enjoy...

Kiltman...

DUBLINER QUIZ REMINDER

Just a quick reminder to all that the Dubliner Quiz is running again on Monday nights :)

DUBLINER QUIZ RETURNS MONDAY 21st

Hi All,

Andy at the Dubliner asked that we mention that the Dubliner Quiz returns this coming Monday evening (September 21st).

Have fun if you go.... I won't coz I'm not back until October 5th :)

On, On

Gordon R

PS - While mentioning the Dubliner.... remember the IRISH BREAKFAST on the last Sunday in September :)

VH3 HASH 334 SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20th

Below are details of Sunday's Hash.... it's in that nice bit of park / wood next to Akropolis.... so no map this week:) Everyone can find Akropolis!!

We are setting the trail with Roma in the Ozo park next to where I live. So it is in the direction of Akropolis: get to the large junction at Akropolis and turn to the right if you come from Kalvariju or Seamens Arena, or to the left if you come from the oposite direction, and go straight forward along Gelvonu st. until you see a mini Maxima on the right side, pass it and park at the parking lot in front of AUTOSERVISAS. Caution - don't go beyond the yellow kiosks on your left.

For those coming by bus No 53, 56, 75 (mini bus No 2 or private bus 62) bus stop 'Gelvonu' - meeting point a few meters ahead.

I think it should be clear, in case you need other directions, please, contact me 8 699 82 562

Regards

Reda


PS.... of course remember the car pool at bottom of Pilies... cars leave at 11:00. Be at Hash at 11:15 for 11:30 start.... 10 lts per adult to cover drinks etc etc

VH3 HASH NUMBER 333 September 6th

VH3 are 50% towards the dreaded 666 .... or if you are reading in Oz .... 999 ! Yes, it's Hash Number 333 and as promised Kiltman will set a Hash through, round, up and down Kalnu Park. The trail will pass some real spot on photo sites in Vilnius... the Bell Tower... and if no-one has ever see the view from the Hash view on Hill of 333 crosses (well, 3 crosses) then now is your chance.

There is a map attached showing the location..(actually I can't find the map... but it'll appear on the blog later:) ). but it's not really difficult to find... turn right at bottom of Pilies and after 300m where the road turns at 90 degrees go directly forward... might be better to park at the official parking at the 90 degree turn?

Meet at 11:15 for an 11:30 start.

Normal cost of 10 lts per adult to cover drinks etc. Kids free... most of the trail is suitable for kids....

So see you there... remember 90% of VH3 will be walkers and if you get lost then call Kiltman on 8 653 10009.... but if you can't get 300m from the bottom of Pilies then...........

On, on and lunch will be back up in the Old Town at the Dubliner.... from around 13:15.

Kiltman.......

TUESDAY NIGHT QUIZ

Over the summer a few galant members of Vilnius HHH (and assorted others) have gathered at ManoAlibi uder the name 'THE COLONIALS' to participate in the Tueday night Quiz. Starting at 19:00 ish the quiz is mostly attended by Lithuanians with the Colonials being the only English speakers... but the questions are repeated in English...

Unlike the Dubliner Quiz there is no bonus round and no plus / minus points depending on team size... resulting in some quite big teams (which has it's disadvantages as there ain't a lot of space!)

The Colonials do OK.... normally finishing in the top half of the 17 or so teams but we are gradually creeping upwards having finished 2nd last week...

Over a quarter year a first place finish gives a team 5 points, 2nd 4 points down to 5th 1 point. The top 8 over the quarter (Mondays & Tuesdays) go into the final....

Us Colonials only joined in about half way through but we have finished the quarter in 21st place out of over 100 teams...... not too bad....

If anyone is interested in joining The Colonials drop us a mail.... 'fraid it's not really possible for anyone 'just to turn up' due to space restrictions :)

You can read more on www.manoalibi.lt

And the food is some of the best in Vilnius.... unusual & good value. The stuffed mushrooms are number 1 :)
