Mauritius Hash Trash 357

10-03-2002 Tamarin Reservoir John Little John & Charlie Scrungebuck #357

Run at Tamarin Falls Reservoir near Henrietta. Hares were ‘Little John’ Maddock and Charlie ‘Scrungebucket’ (I hope I have spelled it correctly).
The Hash started with a long back-check to the edge of the Tamarin Falls (Sept Cascades) which provided a superb view down over Tamarin / Black River. The rest of the ‘run’ was shortish, wetish and flatish. A second back-check was thoughtfully situated just at the top of a mountain ! Another one was devilishly placed just over a ‘level crossing’ (river, not train). Otherwise the morning was quite uneventful, it didn’t even rain.
Very nice food was provided by Ozita with the help of her Godfather.

First Timers (Virgins):
‘Billy the Fish’ on a working holiday from London
‘TBA’ (Jasmine, Billy the Fish’s daughter)
Anna Maria Baltaga from Romania. She will be with us for a couple of years (Goodie, goodie)
‘Mie-Te’ Ozita’s mum
Gerard, Ozita’s Godfather

Second Timers:
Rambo from London, Billy the Fish’s old man
Elisa Cazzarini

Long Lost Hashers Returned:
Gilbert & Sybille Ferrière

RA: Down, downs awarded to:-
Vidya – for not wearing the ‘smelly toilet seat’ on the run. In her defence, she judged the seat too smooth and comfortable for a hardened hasher.
Brian – for getting lost and refusing to listen to help from friendly hashers. Finally the police set him on the right path.
Hash Master – for short cutting. His dogs brought him home early – Tony pretended his dogs were tired!
RA – for breaking some obscure rule.
Alan ‘Strong on’ – for taking things too seriously and warming up before the start of the run.
Kevin Quick – for timing himself on the run ! (What does he think this is ? A race ??)
Charlie ‘Scrunge-something’ – for shouting instructions to the hashers (a hare should never help anyone).

Baptism Ceremony.
Elisa was unanimously named ‘Encore’ by the presiding Hash Master, Tony with due pomp and ceremony

Smelly toilet seat award:
To Sybille (again) because we were so pleased to see her back
