Editor’s Notes
The New Year brings hashers and runners around the world an extensive wish list of “wanna do” events in Europe, Asia, and the USA in 2016. The BIG HHH EVENT of 2016 will be Interhash XX in Bali. Some 5000 hashers from all over the planet will gather on the Island of the Gods in May. The team that brought you Interhash 2012 in Java is also behind this one in Bali. Expectations are running high that IH 2016 could equal or even exceed IH 2012 honors as the best Interhash ever. If smaller events are more to your liking, my words of advice are to register early. The days of procrastinating until the very last minute before signing up for your favorite events are long gone. Better safe than sorry is a good credo if you want to insure that there is a rego for you at your favorite events this year. Many of the popular events allow registration transfers if you are unable to attend after you have paid. Keep a close watch for announcements about your favorite events, and sign up as soon as registration opens. Top events in Europe this year include: Nash Hashes in Belgium (22-14 April), Germany (17-19 June), Denmark (6-8 July), Switzerland 29-31 July), InterCaucasus Hash in Tiblisi (May), and UK Alternative Interhash (May).

Top events in the USA this year include: Betty Ford XXX, (1113 Mar), Texas Interhash (1-4 Apr), Aloha H3 25th Analversary Birthday Cruise (15-22 Oct). Top events in Australia and New Zealand this year include: Albany Convict H3 100th (20 Feb), Gold Coast Gourmet H3 2000th (29 Apr-1 May). New Zealand: Gathering of the Nomad H3, Taylor Memorial Lodge National Park (3-6 June). Top events in Africa this year include: 1000th Run, Kigali H3, Rwanda (23 Jan), and several HHH relay events in Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya.
With the emergence of the Beer Mile, the distinction between beer drinking hash house harriers and running “purists” appears to be blurring. If you have a marathon in your sights this year, check Kurt “Swiss Piss” Bodmer’s list of Asia Pacific marathons in 2016. Enjoy the irreverent hash humor of the Stockholm Absolut Hash Trash, Nut & Honey’s Adventures of Hash Boy, and Ian Slater’s On The Ice. With scores of great events coming up in the months ahead, I hope to see you on trail in 2016. On On, Jim Edens

russels 2014 is behind us, and the next Interscandi and EuroHash are in 2017. However, come to Europe in 2016 for one or more of the fabulous Nash Hashes that Europe has to offer.
The Belgian Nash Hash 22-24 April: Get out your Bling and come to Antwerp! Belgian Nash Hash is hosted by the Brussels Manneke Piss H3 and will be held in historic city of Antwerp, 40 km north of Brussels. Tour the charming city with fabulous architecture and enjoy the best night life in Belgium. There is a new beautiful youth hostel, centrally located with 2 to 6 bed en-suite rooms. It has plenty of light and several gardens in which to enjoy a delicious Belgian beer. In Belgium, there is a beer for all tastes and preferences. Antwerp is famous for its diamond industry, and the Saturday theme will be Diamonds and Bling! On Saturday there will be a run in the forest, and on Sunday, there will be a city run through the old town and along the harbor. After the Sunday circle, one can take a short trip to Leuven for the most brilliant beer festival of them all, Zythos www.zbf.be. If you would like to make it a 2 week trip, the Vineyard hash is the week before and the Stuttgart H3 Fest Hash is the week after. www.bmph3.com

Drunk History of the Kilt Ahhh yes, the kilt. We all love the kilt. Fact: the kilt is known as the national dress of Scotland. Fact: the word “kilt” is a derivative of the Norse word kilt which means pleated. Fact: the kilt dates back to the 16th century and was worn as a full length garment, long before the Red Dress Hash. Fact: in the 1800’s (hash time) the first tailored kilt was worn by the Scottish army. My head hurts, no more history.
