Take a look around, see what you like, and hopefully come and join us for a run/walk/drink, whatever your fancy may be. We don't bite, well, maybe one or two might, but don't let that put you off.

CHANGES FOR SEPT 23RD HASH

URGENT URGENT URGENT

Due to circumstances totally out of their control, Ramiro & Joanne are unable to host and hare the planned Hash this Sunday as previously advised. Our thoughts are with them at this time.

We are fortunate to have a visitor from Australia, (Stewy), who has offered to step in at the last minute and lay trail for us in the same San Telmo area, with a little logistical help from myself. Unfortunately, this means no asado this time, and due to the timing, the mis-management committee have agreed that this will be a Beer Only Hash, with the cost reduced to AR$10 on the day, with the option for people to go to the Gibraltar Pub, after the circle, for lunch (at your own expense - but they have a great menu).

The New Details.

Same time 11 for 11.30

New Location: Meet outside The Gibraltar Bar at Peru 895, San Telmo (Two blocks from the original plans). The Bar will not be open when we meet, it opens at 12. There is a Car Park right next to the Bar, so places for bags to be stored if some folk bring a car!

Cost: Only 10 pesos - Beer Hash (Bring money if you fancy lunch afterwards at the Pub!)

Apologies for the short notice, but don't let that put you off, as the weather will still be lovely. Grateful thanks to Stewy for offering to step in at the last minute, and look forward to seeing as many there as possible for the First Spring Hash of the year!

Hash Trash #577 Sept 9th, 2012!

#577 The One with the Prussian Hares

Once again the sun was shining on the Hash as the seasons are turning from winter to spring, and there were certainly a few legs showing this Sunday as the Hash went in search of San Isidro, and a trail laid by our co-hares Wire Me Baby and Just Thomas, the guys with the Prussian connection!

We were also blessed by the return from his money laundering (Ed's note - You mean Vacation!) trip to Miami, by the GM, and for the first time in 7 months, yours truly, the RA, was going to attempt to actually do the hash, with the old back starting to mend. It was also noted that the Buenos Aires 1/2 Marathon had taken place earlier that morning, which depleted our ranks, as many of our Hashers are Racists, and with the delightful exception of Online Pussy, it was too much to expect them to come to the Hash. The worst example of this was Windy Culo, who called just before the start of the Hash to say he couldn't make it there, as it was too hard to get there after the 21K run,(he lives 6 blocks from the Hash start!).

As the sun shone, it soon transpired that Just Thomas has been out laying trail at 6am, while Wire Me Baby had a good lie-in. We were informed that the Mack Trail was around 11Km, while the wimps would enjoy/endure, only 4km today, to which news there was much rejoicing! JT put his geophysical skills to the test and had managed to lay a very clear trail, with arrows, flour, and some strange lettering that only he understood, having used Ancient Prussian, or might as well have! Wire Me Baby was still enjoying his beauty sleep!

The pack set off, with the Machos racing away, while the Wimps enjoyed the sun, and some great conversation as they followed the trail through Accasusso and Martinez, to a welcome beer stop, manned by Wire Me Baby, who had finally got out of bed! The trail had been excellently designed to ensure that both groups were not far apart, with the cries of On On being heard on parallel blocks. The second beer stp was by the Tren de la Costa, and with the added benefit of going up and down the only bloody hills in Buenos Aires, as a special treat!, the Machos headed off for thier extra beer stop, while the wimps beat them back to the start after the longest 4km Hashever, obviously Kilometres in Bottrop iin Germany are a lot longer than in Argentina.... Ummm, and he's a geophysicist.....!!!

The circle ensued, as Wire Me Baby disappeared again, probably for a nap, and suitable punishments were issued to those wearing racist shirts, medals, and any other reason we could think of for a down down. We initiated a virgin, Nathan from Tulsa, who seemed to enjoy the singing and the beer, so we hope we haven't frightened him away. WMB suddenly arrived back, carrying food, so we forgave him for everything as we tucked into Asian noodles, which was a first for me at least. Just as the hash was concluding, we were thrilled by the arrival on an ex GM, Underhung, along with Sextasis and Doggie Style, who had been half marathoning earlier in the day, with Underhung on a short visit back from his new location in New Zealand.

Another great hash, thanks to the hare(s), and all those who took part, here's to the next one on Sep 23rd in San Telmo.

On On....

Next Hash #577 Sunday, September 9th, 2012

Apologies for the late notice! Blame WMB ;)...Here is the description of the next hash.

Spring is approaching and it is time to bring your body to shape... We have to "look good naked" and we know that beer bellies are month-long hard work!
Thus, wire me baby and his skiivy have set up a walk in the park in Buenos Aires's most beautiful and residential neighbourhood. Magnificient parks, alleys and the picturesque-muddy golden river will guarantee the mob a fantastic non-competitive run... Finally, hop-rich fluids and some Asian food will compensate any losses of energy.

BAH3 20th Birthday Bash and Pretty Pictures from #576

As I'm not running, I can't comment too much on the recent Hashes here in wonderful "Sunny" Buenos Aires. What I can say is that the quality of food at the On Afters continues to impress, and last Sunday saw a wonderful Gumbo created by Old Hag, which was welcome and warming on a cool day when the sun ducked behind a cloud.

I did make the Circle, and was interested in Mr Mum's choice of trail markings, photographs! A very different way to lay trail, and it went down well with the Hashers, with Good Service, Online Pussy and Fossil Fuck, appearing to win Hash Shirts for collecting the right amount on their travels (Ed's Note - I have no idea either!).

While the reports may not be up to scratch, we seem to have an abundance of Hash Flashes off late, and I have collated the various shots into one, very large, collection, which I hope you will enjoy over a beer or three (it may take three beers to get through the lot!).

#576

HARES NEEDED

As we all know, the Hash can only operate with the co-operation and assistance of its members, and as such we are always on the look out for Hares for our runs. We are presently short for the 7th of October, so feel free to offer your services. As ever, your mis-management team will offer any assistance, and with spring well in the air by then, I am sure it will be a lovely day for a run with YOU hareing, and gaining kudos from all your fellow harriers!

ADVANCE NOTICE - BAH3 20th BIRTHDAY BASH

For those of you who have been in attendance at recent Hashes, you will know that the mis-management committee have been talking about a MAJOR event next year for the BA Hash. Next April, we will celebrate our 20th Birthday, and we are planning an event to surpass all previous birthday bashes, with fun, beer, a red dress run, beer, food, beer, a BIG party, beer, and a run from the location of the very first BA Hash run, back on April 23rd 1993, at Belgrano Golf Club, oh yes, did I mention, BEER!

The weekend of April 20/21st has been penciled in for the festivities, and while we have to agree all the details, the general plan is to have a Red Dress Run on the Saturday in the Capital, followed by a Special Gala Party, (Theme to be advised), on Saturday night, with the 20th Birthday Run on Sunday afternoon, culminating in the Circle to end all Cirles. Hopefully as many ex BA Hashers will join us for the fun, along with many others from around the World who may be interested in a BIG BASH in BA. Invites will be going out to ex GM's and RA's, so the circle could be as well organised as ever!, and if you are in contact with anyone who may have dropped off the mailing list, or are unaware of our new media outlets, here and on Facebook, please let them know, and get the dates in your diaries and agendas now.

Full information will be released as soon as we have got more details.

As the longest running Hash in South America, we want to celebrate in style. Whilst not going as far as talking up a Pan South American Interhash, the invite will be going out to all our fellow hashes in South America and beyond, to come along and enjoy the fun in BA next April - so, no excuses, you have been warned, April 20/21, 2013, the BA Birthday Bash...... You won't want to miss it!

NEXT HASH #575 - SUNDAY AUGUST 12TH - PALERMO

Apologies for the late notice this week, but we had to make a change of plans at the last minute, as Wire Me Baby mixed his dates up, and we were going bald at the start of the week (hareless - geddit?). But our newly named Anal Friendly and Just Bren have stepped into the breach, and will lay trail in the familiar surroundings of Palermo.

Let's hope the subte is back on track by Sunday, if not check the Guia T for collectivos that head that way, there are lots.

LOCATION Armenia 1900, on the corner of Nicaragua, Palermo. On the corner of the Plaza there.

HARES - Anal Friendly & Just Bren.

TIME - 11:00 for 11:30 start

HOW TO GET THERE - The Subte Line D is your best bet (if it's working) by Public Transport, with Scalabrini Ortiz Station being your target. One up into daylight. you are on Av. Santa Fe. Walk 2 blocks uo Santa Fe, in the direction the train was going if you coming from the city, and turn onto Armenia. Walk down Armenia, crossing Quemes first, and 5 blocks brings you directly to the corner of Nicaragua.

If you are coming by car, then get to Santa Fe, and using the wonderful one way system in Palermo, and the map below, you should be able to find it with ease. There are plenty of buses that use Santa Fe as well, heading to Plaza Italia, again, if you arrive there, check the map, it's only a short walk.

WHAT TO BRING - Hash mug, Plate, Cutlery, AR$30 Hash Cash, Wear a Hash Shirt if you have one,
If you have any problems, call me, Inspect Her Assets, on 15 5809 4939...
