Hash Trash Run 714 - Directions Run 715

PLEASE NOTE: It was decided to hold New Year's day run and dip in the sea on Chinese New Year, Thursday, February 7th, 2008. Save the date!

Run 714 - A Run Around Sarona
It was not hot. We ran in Tel Aviv. We met in an area awash with parking lots, yet had to pay for parking. We ran through parks in the newly renovated Templar Village called Sarona*, then crossed the highway to visit Dr. Do-little's free parking lot. What irony.** We sang "More Beer" because it is the same melody of Auld Lang Syne but the words are better and the sentiment remains the same: Wishing all a Happy New Year - Let's Make 2008 Great!

*Formerly IDF HQ, formerly Hagana HQ, and before that, HQ for the British Army who took it over after booting out the German Templars and shipping them off to Australia for being Nazi symphathizers.
** Would that the Hare had known!

Down-downs for Run 714
Hare - Boston Creamed
FRB - Diablo
DFL - Captain Caveman
Almost Ready to Run - Jaquie
SCBs - Dr. D., Russian Bride


ANOTHER LITTLE HASHER ENTERS THE WORLD

Neverfucker writes with very good news:
"Sara and Neva are doing great, and are staying in the hospital until Thursday. Sara was born at 3:58am Dec. 26, with a normal birth. She weighed 7 lb. 14 oz. 'Su' is Turkish for water, by the way. I need to get some sleep, and the pictures speak for themselves anyway.

Hash Trash Run 711 - Directions Run 712

It was just after the rain and wasn't hot. We ran through a lot of shiggy in the fields of Rishpon. We lost the trail in a persimmon tree grove but found it, eventually. We had Down-downs. We drank beer. We gave Dead Boring, Lager Lout and Pussycat mugs and t-shirts, because they are leaving. It got dark. We went home.

A FAREWELL TO TRUE H4 HASHERS
The billiards n' beer send-off for pool sharks Lager Lout and Dead Boring was very successful -- in that we got our butts kicked and had a great time doing it (or having it done to us...). On a more somber note, we are losing two members very central to the Holyland Hash House Harriers. This is no small loss, to put it mildly and Dr. Do-little perhaps put it best in the following message:  
 
"A Farewell to TRUE HASHERS of THE HOLYLAND HOUSE HARRIERS: LAGER LOUT" , "DEAD BORING" and "PUSSY CAT",
"They started running "WALKING" with the Holyland Hash Harriers more than six year ago!  And have been with us over for 200 RUNS!! Their first Hash in Israel was in Zion Square, Herzliya Pituah. "Dead Boring" was somewhat overweight and smoked heavily.  "Dead Boring" changed after some time to a non smoker and became a serious RUNNER. He has competed in many local races - 10k to Half Marathons not to mention completing 3 Marathons, Athens, Paris and Rome. And was often the FRB !!
"Lager Lout" managed during this period, ONCE to RUN a second half and to run one or two times during the Hash chasing after Socks, their dog.
"Pussy Cat" which was a regular Hasher until last year, now a teenager discovered that their where better things to do on a Saturday afternoon than to go to the Hash with her parents.
"Lager Lout" and "Dead Boring" have held many positions in the Holyland Hash including BEER Meister, GM, RA. RSA, Hash Scribe, Hash Cash etc. "Lager Lout" and "Dead Boring" put forth a lot of effort into making our Hash Weekends a success.
Thank you for every thing you have done for the Holyland Hash on behalf of all the Hashers including the Hashers who have left the country already.
Wishing the three of you all the happiness and health in the world and for "Dead Boring" success in the new job!!
Thank you for your great friendship! I, we will miss you !!! -- Dr. Do-Little"
 
We can only second the good Doctor in wishing them health, happiness and success - and fun, too!

Hash Trash Run 710 - Directions Run 711

Run 710 - The Jaffa Jive
Sources inform Hash Scribe that, "Saturday's Hash in South Tel Aviv/Jaffa was a very nice though a very exclusive affair, with a beer stop at the dilapidated Yaffo port amongst the antique dealers' tables (Fisherman's restaurant wouldn't do drinks only). Nice trail through the winding streets of Old Jaffa. Not too long but lots of steps." Our Hasher in the field ends with a terse,  "Hope there's more folks out this weekend." And we do, as always, live in hope.

Down-downs for Run 710
Hare:  Outrigger
FRB:  Diablo
Returnee:  Tiar Fruck
DFL:  Diablo (the only bloody runner apart from the Hare!)
Provisional Farewell:  Linda (may be her last week)
 
Directions for Run 711
Place: Rishpon
Date: December 8, 2007
Time: 3:00pm
Hare: Lager Lout (aided by Dead Boring) 
Run #711 will be at an old favourite haunt - Bentleys Bar in Rishpon
From Route #2 north, exit at the Rishpon junction. Go straight, over the junction (pass the flower shop on your right) and go over 2 roundabouts & the railway tracks. Take the next road to your right (it's not really a made road - more of a track), go round the left bend and Bentleys Bar is on the left in a big gravel carpark. Your Hares will be awaiting.
 
Lost? Call Lager Lout at 054 69 33 287

EVENT- FRETWELL FAREWELL
Last chance to watch Dead Boring and Lager Lout whip us in snooker!
Date: December 6th
Time: 8:15 PM
Place: Bar-Giyora Pub, 64 Dizengoff, Tel Aviv . Upstairs billiards gallery.
Park at the Dizengoff Center undergound lot
Website: http://www.bargiyora.co.il/
Directions: Dizengoff Center isn't far from Dizengoff Square, where we started the Red Dress Run. The best thing is to drive on Route 2 towards Tel Aviv and get off at the HaShalom (Azrieli Center exit). Take a RIGHT onto Kaplan St. into Tel Aviv crossing Menachem Begin, and crossing Ibn Gabirol. At this point, Kaplan becomes Dizengoff. You will go straight up a slight hill (passing the Mann Auditorium on your left and Chen Blvd on your right) and then start heading downhill. The Dizengoff Center is the ugly mall on both sides of the intersection of King George St. Drive straight into the underground parking lot. The pub we're going to is on the corner of Dizengoff and Bar Giyora, the next cross-street after King George. It's right near the Kley Zemer music shop (many guitars in the window).
