Editor’s Notes “There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir: We must rise and follow her, When from every hill of flame She calls, and calls each vagabond by name.” ― William Bliss Carman As we head into the final months of 2016 it is high time to set our sights on some outstanding events to finish up this year, and to plan ahead for the year to come. Remember to celebrate the season with World Peace Thru Beer on or around United Nations Day in October. Eurohash is coming to Vienna, the darling of the Danube, and home to enough vineyards and microbreweries to keep the hardiest hasher pleasantly toasted. Join a chorus of hashers in the World Heritage city that Mozart, Strauss and Beethoven called home. For angelic inspiration of a different sort join the Angeles City Craft Beer Festival the same week as the Angeles City H3 2000th Run. A match made in heaven with some devilish delights in store for those so inclined. Hash Boy returns with sage advise on Auto-Haring with all the right gear for offensive driving. Ajarn Keemao serves up some sobering statistics as to why


HARRIER MAGAZINE PUBLISHER JIM EDENS WITH ON THE ICE WRITER AJARN KEEMAO

we should all continue hashing and drinking, at the same time or separately, and not necessarily in that order. The Aloha Hash House Harriers turn 25 in October. Join the 7-day cruise or celebrate at any Hawaiian Hash on O’ahu, Maui, in Kona or Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii, or Kaua’i the Garden Island. Explore the exotic World of Suzy Wong at the Wanchai Hash. Can it be “Wong” when it feels so right? Rumor has it that the infamous band of traveling troubadours, the Lagos Away Team is bringing it all back home for Pan Africa Hash next year. If you’ve seen these guys in action abroad, just imagine what kind of chaos they can create in the comfort of their home turf. On On, Jim Edens, Editor-in-Chief & Founder Harrier Magazine International Edition Fun on the run since 2002 www.HarrierMagazine.com

hose lucky hashers who plan on being in Angeles City for the local chapter’s 2000th hash run in early December will have an extra special treat in store for them in the form of the 1st Annual Angeles City Craft Beer Festival, which will be held on the very same weekend as the local hash club’s big celebration run. This amazing event, which will take place on December 2-4 at Marquee Mall’s beautiful outdoor Marquee Park, will offer the perfect spot for pre and post hash run revelry. 15 micro-breweries from around the Philippines will be showcasing their latest hand crafted lagers, pilsners, ales and IPA’s, plus a handful of imported craft beers. All in all, festival goers will have nearly 100 different artisanal beers to choose from in one single place. Happy days indeed!

ith half of the places for next year’s EuroHash already snapped up, the pressure is on the organisers to ensure Vienna is in a fit state to welcome 800 arm-raising thirsty athletes in July 2017.

The event’s committee are closely observing the progress of similar prestigious spectacles, such as the UEFA Euro football championships in Paris this month and the Olympic shindig in bankrupt Rio in August, swapping notes to ensure excellence is achieved and the same old slipups are avoided.

Vienna, Austria’s capital, lies in the country’s east on the Danube River. Its artistic and intellectual legacy was shaped by residents including Mozart, Beethoven and Sigmund Freud. The city is also known for its Imperial palaces, including Schönbrunn, the Habsburgs’ summer residence. In the MuseumsQuartier district, historic and contemporary buildings display works by Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt and other artists.

‘THE WORLD OF SUZY WONG’

By Haggis

he Wanchai Hash was founded by Howard ‘Dances With Dogs’ McKay, Bruce ‘Shirley Temple’ Fletcher and Tony ‘Nana’ Caplan in 1988. The first run was just after church on Sunday the 10th of April from The Wanch bar, just a stone’s throw from the bar district and Lok Fuk hotel immortalised in the Richard Mason novel and Nancy Kwan – William Holden movie, The World of Suzie Wong.

Pan Africa Hash 2017 in Lagos

50 Harrier

Lagos, Nigeria – Friday 26th May to Sunday 28th May 2017 With 9 months to go, to the next Pan Africa Hash in Lagos, the planning committee are already very busy setting up logistics to make sure that hashers experience the usual mis-management that you can expect from an event like this. Venue A mis-inspection of Eko Atlantic Gardens in Victoria Island took place last month by a mixed group of international but evidently localised hashers.

Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, sprawls inland Gulf of Guinea across Lagos Lagoon. Victoria Island, the financial center of the metropolis, is known for its beach resorts, boutiques and nightlife. To the north, Lagos Island is home to the National Museum Lagos, displaying cultural artifacts and craftworks. Nearby is Freedom Park, once a colonial-era

from the

prison and now a major venue for concerts and public events.


Death on the

Hash Challenge CONTENTS

by Nick ‘Weathercock’ Morss - PH3

A

s a veteran of 3 hash challenges in Malaysia and a keen, if somewhat irregular hasher, I was very sad to hear of the death of ‘Thomas Cools’, on the trail. I was at the finish this year and ran the normal run whose run-site coincided with the Challenge end. After the normal run a few of us went back in to rescue a guy who had been attacked by bees and was having a bad reaction, luckily the St. John’s ambulance were there on standby for the Challenge, so we made use of one of their stretchers and they took him to hospital later. It shows that things can occur on a normal run, not just the Challenge. As time went on and dusk began to fall, it was noted that Thomas was later than expected. His team mate who had pulled out at the water stop after Thomas was last seen, went back to see if he could find him, to no avail. Others searched as much as possible until the fading light made the jungle impossible to see off trail.
