Time & Place: Hamersley's AGM Monday,
15th November 1993
MARBLES:
"Geez
Bigs, now that you've turned 50,
do you think that you may consider giving
up running?"
BIGGLES:
"Well,
as long as we can continue to stand
we should keep going; in fact I think
we should start a club for the old bastards."
MARBLES:
"That's
not a bad idea and if it is limited
to Hashers over 50, I could join come
next April."
BIGGLES:
"OK,
we can start next May, a club to cater
for us oldies of Hamersley."
MARBLES:
"You
can be the Grand Master and I can be
the On Sec."
BIGGLES:
"As
we will still be running Hamersley we
can't make it a Monday, and rather
than stuff ourselves completely we should
not make it a weekly occurrence."
MARBLES:
"What
about once a Month, on the last Tuesday
of the Month, and make it that we pick
up an extra run every two years so that
the AGM coincides with anniversary runs?"
BIGGLES:
"And
we can call ourselves HOSH - being Hamersley
Oldies Still Hashing."
MARBLES:
"That's
it. Now if we want numbers, we will
restrict it to only over 50's."
BIGGLES:
"We
could always have trainees, say over
45, who could be our juniors until they
have matured enough to fulfil the function
as a HOSHER."
MARBLES:
"OK,
but they would have no voting rights
and be kept away from official functions
unless specifically invited."
BIGGLES:
"It's
agreed then. Let's spread the word
and see what becomes of it."
Getting old is mandatory.
Growing up is optional...
Time & Place: 6.20pm
Biggles' House Tuesday, 24th May 1994
Run Number 1. 24th May 1994
BIGGLES:
(Thinks) "I hope the fuck some of these
Hamersley pricks turn up. I've got a whole
lot of food for them. Thank God I told them
to bring their own piss or I may be left with
a whole lot I will have to finish myself.
Sounds like someone is coming. Yes it's Precious,
and it sounds like he bought some others with
him. WWWWWWWhhhhhaaaaaaattttt!!!!!! Sheilas!!!!!
Never counted on them coming along."
TEX & TINKER:
"Your
notice never said your new club was MALE only
so here we are."
BIGGLES:
"I
guess I never figured that old boilers would
still be running at this age."
The
rest is now history. JR & Lobby (aka 99)
joined us on the night, it being their first
ever Hash run, along with Tinker, Tex and 10
Hamersley men and Kamikaze (woof woof), many
of them being junior members at the time. From
then on we have gradually increases the senior
ranks as the junior ranks diminished. Some members
have come and gone, but most stay and our ranks
keep increasing.
Our runs consist of
two three groups - the runners, walkers and now the ramblers. Runs usually
originate from the hares place of residence
and that person supplies the food. Run fees
are 3 Pounds ($6) now 5 Pound ($10) now 8 Pounds ($15) per run that goes towards
food and photos. We have two major runs in a
year, being our Xmas run and the AGM.
Our committee consists of a Great Grand
Master (Re-titled on recommendation of Roo-Ted),
On-Sec, 2 Klaxons, Ancestral Advisor, and a
Sage and a few others.
Because of our
ageing years we sit during the circles, tell
mainly old people type jokes, take memory pills
for forgetfulness... oh and of course we drink
piss.
