RE: The Christmas Hash Do at The Twisted Oak, Ide

Hi all, (Again)
It was the usual Hashers that picked out the obvious mistake I made!!!
Carvery was £8.95 and now for members it is only a FIVER!! saving a massive 4 ish pounds (not £3 Tampa!)
and 2 courses was £10.95 and I said for members was EIGHT pounds saving £3ish pounds (not £2 Tampa!! go back to school :-P) BUT I meant! wait for it!!
Only SEVEN of your finest pounds!! (saving £4ish pounds!) Stick that I your pipe and smoke it Mr douting mufasa's!!
All the T&C's on the previous email still apply.

Sunday 4 December. Groucho at Obelisk Car Park

A bit chilly this morning as we gathered in the well known doggers car park.  That's dog walkers of course and not anything else that you might have been thinking about.  Groucho called us to order and a virgin hasher by the name of Ella was introduced by her proud grandmother Horny Woman.  A picture in pink she looked as well!  The trail was laid in flour, on the right as usual and look out for the planted golf ball along the trail.  There would be a prize for its' safe recover.
The on was soon called towards the obelisk itself, but no, a crafty check back sent us off piste and into the woods.  Scrambling over and under and through tiny gaps (the hare's assistant Miss Peaks is a hobbit you know, and can fit through much smaller spaces than your average hasher).  We soon found ourselves out on a proper trail again and there was Tuned In, Radio GaGa, Horny Woman and Ella striding towards us - can't be that way then!  Down Groucho's train tunnel admiring the various funghi along the way.
The Sweetie stop was reached and despite standing right on top of the goodies, Isoscoles was unable to locate the sweets so was ably helped by Quick Rucka.  Most of the sweets consumed, still no sign of the walkers so Miss Peaks bravely took the leftover nourishment and strided off in the general direction she thought the walkers would be in.  Never to be seen again.  Well, not by me anyway as they still hadn't arrived back to the car park before most of us gave up and went home!
A nice scrambly hash in lovely woodland.  Thanks Groucho.  A few fines were meted out by Oddbitz in his capacity of deputy sherrif, but the rest will have to wait until the MIA Twin Peaks is found and re-united with her Sherrif's badge.  The Pink handbag was passed from Slipshod to Paperwork, for his being a bit slow today (mainly due to the Devon A-B the previous day).  Coffin was awarded the prize for finding the golf ball, bobbing along in a puddle.
On-On to Oddbitz extravaganza next week at Squabmoor reservoir.

27th November Pine Ridge CP Woodbury common FF and PP

So full was the car park today that many hashers parked in the road, not the middle of the road you understand.Yet within the car park our hares were no where to be seen, neither was their car.Spockybitz put on his anxious face, whilst little Itsy played un the puddles,with minutes to go until the bewitching hour our hares FF and PP appeared on the scenebut in their car. Had they been off road ! Spockybitz completed the hash register with a smile on his face, the circle formed, well behaved they were too, no Stat-Nav so Twin Peaks was made deputy sheriff with Oddbitz sheriff, the main man.He was so eager he pulled out his pencil and paper just to make us lesser mortals beware of the consequences of any unlawful acts. Then we were off, at a snails pace as the pack meandered between the trees, whilst high above the sun shrone brighty, a great day for meandering between trees. Suddenly someone spotted a dark shape in the wood, it came closer, several hashers stopped in their tracks, what can it be, I can't make it out were just two of the words uttered by several anxious hashers. The shape was by now getting closer and made a noise, "Ben Ben !" it yelled, ....our frightening dark shape was indeed Tampa who then approached the pack and said, "Am I late !" Out came the sheriiff's equipment, plus pencil and paper.

The usual same faces appeared to find all of the fish hooks as we all continued on our way going deeper into the wood, they were like border collies coming back to check that the sheep were all in tow, which they were of course. We were treated to three long short splits which kept the pack together if you get my drift. The pack were heard to make no complaints, which was good news, in fact they were rather a happy bunch. The sweets were on, yes at the sweet stop, anyone witnessing the scene of hashers devouring the goodies before them must have thought that they had been deprived of sweets in their childhood.Not a single sweet was left. From the sweet stop we started on the long trek back to the car park via two more long short splits which were welcomed by the short members of the pack one nameless short hasher says let the longs get on with it, whatever 'it' is. Oddbitz continued to use his equipment, resulting in several fines for the Christmas Do fund, keep up the good work sheriff.Finally our thanks must to the hares for their trail or was it trial and to Ex-bitz for laying on the food for the AGM at Spocky Towers

Next weeks hash Sunday 4 December is from the Obelisk CP near Mamhead
