On another sunny Sunday morning we gathered at the Seril in Calis to exchange greetings and pleasantries before the very short drive to the starting point nearby. We gaily circled up for another flat run round Calis.The GM started proceedings on a serious note, reporting that at a recent MisManagement meeting to discuss strategies to improve the Hash fund situation, it was decided not to increase the current 7.5 TL fee but he asked hashers not to take unopened beer/soft drinks away to drink after the circle was finished. Thanks Hashers, that's the serious bit over with.
The GM introduced our visiting hasher, Burning Sensation, all the way from New Jersey in the US of A. He also gave us the excellent news that his horn had been repaired and was now fully functional once again. The hares - Wicked Willy, Cums Naturally, Humper and Loose Lips, being reasonably truthful, informed the expectant hashers that the run would be mostly flat but with a couple of little hills. There was a detailed explanation of the flour symbols to be found (if you're lucky), false trails, extremely false trails, crosses, circles, etc etc. It all sounded very exciting. Hashits were awarded to Oddjob and Pussy Galore (2 at once for Pussy - what has she been up to?).
Off we set on the not so flat Calis run. We managed to find a few blobs of flour and struggled up the hills, through those pesky gorse bushes and chest high prickly weeds (now that would be a good hash name) - but what happened to the flout?? Ah! But wait a minute - was that a piece of red and white tape fluttering gaily on a bush? In the absence of any flour the intrepid hashers followed the colourful tape trail and eventually came upon flour once more. There was a moment of uncertainly near the end of the run when a Runners/Walkers split was spotted but everybody found their way back to the start gasping for refreshments.
The hares were called into the circle to receive a 'constructive' review of the run. It was agreed that the hares had indeed told the truth about there being a couple of hills. But not a dicky bird about the red/white tape and the runners/walker split. One hare even admitted she got lost and duly received a down down. Down downs were awarded to our visiting hasher, returning hashers, the wrinkly ones and the affectionate ones. Mr Stiffy made the very silly mistake (he should have known better) of proudly displaying his new shoes and of course, had to drink beer from both shoes. Wicked Willy astounded all by telling a funny joke and four hashers were re-united with their lost property.
Hashits: 1. Oddjob had managed to organise?? a meal out for a few friends, getting the time wrong, the headcount wrong and booking the table inside the restaurant instead of outside, quite an achievement in inept organisational skills. 2. Pussy Galore took 7 years of hashing to be awarded her 50th run tankard and 7 seconds to lose it!
Next, Go Go Gadget was invited into the circle for the traditional birthday down down and to hear the massed hash voice choir singing 'Happy Birthday' (what a wonderful sound it is). This was closely followed by a second down down for hash rule breaking (drink in wrong hand). Tappy Feet announced the two lucky winners of this week's Bonus Ball - Q and The Arsonist.
The next run (236) is a special beach party run next Sunday 20 May, meeting at 11.15 at the Seril Hotel for 11.30 departure to Yaniklar. Guest hashers from Antalya and Old Coulsdon will be joining us - should be fun!! There will be a picnic of roast chicken, salad, bread plus drinks - total cost 25TL per person. The following run (237) on Sunday 27 May will be at Alacat when a donation of money raised through the Bonus Ball would be presented to Arlene from 'Mad about Mutts'.
The hungry hashers met at Zayra restaurant in Calis for a very reasonably priced meal of mainly chicken. There was a bit of a kerfuffle when Cheeky Chappy was hauled off in his chair and forciby relieved of the bonus ball winnings stolen earlier from The Arsonist. Rough Justice?
Several lady hashers had been staring enviously at Madam Chair's sexy 50th run goblet and following a brief survey by the GM, he agreed to look into the possibility of a similar goblet for future lady 50 run awardees - YES!
Halfway through the meal (it was a long time coming) the rain came, watering down soup and beer and generally making everything soggy if you weren't lucky enough to be sitting under an umbrella. There was a scramble to find a dry place for meals to be finished and soon afterwards people drifted home to dry out! And so ended Run 235.

Run 234 Kemer - 29 April 2012 The convoy of two minibuses plus independent travellers departed from the Otogar on Sunday morning, looking forward to a pleasant run in the environs of Kemer. The journey went smoothly (or as smoothly as possible on the roads of Fethiye) until approaching Kemer, whereupon a tour of the new road surfacing on the dual carriageway and a scenic route through Kemer added a bonus element to the trip. Eventually we reache...

To circle up before the start
Four hash shits were ceremoniously hatted

On 15th April in the year 2012, a tribe known locally as The Fethiye Hash House Harriers, met together at the site known as ‘Ye Olde Petrol Station’ in the sleepy village of Ovacik, for their fortnightly gathering. The ‘P.E. instructors’ or ‘Hares’ as they are usually known, G.B.H. and a Virgin, took centre stage and proceeded to introduce the morning’s pentathlon activities of hill walking, mountain climbing, road running, trail hunting and dodging the Ovacik mud baths. ’Mud,...

Run 231 was at Uzumlu and the pack gathered at the start of the village where the circle was to be held. As the GM and RA were both unavailable it was left to the EX GM and RA to conduct the days ceremonies. Wicked Willy started off by asking the pack to push away the few clouds that had gathered in the absence of the RA and to pull any others into the ground and stamp on them. Hash shits were then awarded to Seaman Pumper and BendRover by Cheeky Chappie and Peanuts by Wicked Willy. Reason... Continue reading...

The travelling band of hashers left Fethiye at 0730 on Sunday morning but then the GM remembered that arrangements had been made to pick up Big Bertha at the on on on, on Friday (though some beer had been consumed at the time, so memory loss could happen), so eventually started their journey by 0745.
We all met up eventually with the Antalya hashers, and then on to the start of the run, some 30 minute drive out the other side of Antalya.
The run site was in the middle of nowhere, as is usual fo... Continue reading...

Then the trail lead us through the housing swamps of Koca Calis and back towards the on in. This where our new GM came acro... Continue reading...
