City of Exeter Hash House Harriers

I arrived at the car park a little early, but took Bull Baits advice and didn’t purchase my parking ticket at that point just in case we had a really long run and didn’t get back within the 2 hour timeslot.  Some people didn’t purchase parking tickets at all as they parked on the road (Damp-patch), and nearly got run over for their trouble while trying to cross over to the car park.  Unfortunately, he also managed to leave his fine money in the car, so he owes 20p the next time he hashes.  As the time ticked towards 11am and there was still no sign of the hare, we began to wonder whether she had remembered to put her clock forward, but luckily, just a few minutes after 11 she arrived, without her co-hare, Blutoe, who had decided to stay in bed!

It was a large turnout for No Butt and Mouthful’s second hash for City of Exeter from this venue. We arrived nice and early, remembering the car park from last time around! The hares arrived at about 5 to 11, complete with takeaway coffee and the circle eventually got together at about 5 past, which was strange as there weren’t really any late comers.

A quick please before the words: Hares urgently required for April 9th, 23rd and 30th.   Please volunteer ASAP.
As normal for “Grizzly Sunday” there was a small turnout. We considered having a minutes silence for those partaking while we waited for Woodpecker to arrive, but instead Groucho just put some easy to follow marks at the beginning of the trail.

Nice to be back at the Riding Stables for our second visit, and the spectacular cream teas were being highly anticipated as the pack gathered in the cold and wind.  As we huddled together, Groucho announced that Sunday lunches would be available next week at the Crown and Sceptre in Newton St Cyres for £7.50.  

Spring hares now required, and it might even be time to start thinking about beaches, picnics and BBQs?  The following dates need hares - please volunteer if you can.
April 9th, 23rd and 30th
May 7th, 14th, 28th
