After much careful considerations of events of the recent months, both in our own personal lives and at the hash, I am announcing that effective immediately, MMC and I will be resigning our positions on the Tien Shan HHH mismanagement committee as Hash Cash and Grand Master/Religious Adviser, respectively.

At this time we find that we are unable to commit the time, energy and enthusiasm that these positions richly deserve. Rather than wait until such time as those able to perform these duties volunteer, we have decided to let the hash choose from among its own numbers those to perform these duties.

My company will continue to host this website free of charge as it has done for the past two years, and will provide administrative access and instructions to those whom the mismanagement committee will nominate to keep it updated, provided this is done so in a manner in keeping with the spirit of the hash.

All the hash paraphernalia in our possession will be turned over as soon as possible to a trustworthy hasher who will keep it to be given to those who will form the new mismanagement committee. When this is done it will also be posted in this space.

The first task the new mismanagement committee will need to tend to will be the arrangement for sponsorship and/or meeting place. With the decreased spending of the hash in local restaurants, it has been difficult to maintain good a good relationship with establishments such as Mad Murphy's and Dublin, and the occasional rowdy behavior of some hashers at these locations has not helped.

Dublin's manager, Andrey, was kind enough to give us a home at Dublin last year, but he has now left that job, and as happened at Murphy's before, our last few trips to Dublin we have seen no beer waiting for us, and Dublin has seen no significant business from hashers outside the mismanagement committee.

We both wish the best to the members of the Tien Shan HHH of whom we have many fond memories.

Cheers and on-on,

Flashes from runs #439 (Butakofka) and #438 (KapChickGuy) are now up.

This week's hash will circle up at One Man's place and also meet there after the run for the on-in.

One Man's place is at 58 Zhurgenov street; just follow the tram tracks down Pastera beneath the Green Bazaar, follow the tracks when they turn left, then take your first right and go to the end, it's the white house on the left.

On on!

Hi Almaty Hashers.
Very impressed with the website, but no email addresses! So I have to bother you all.

I work for British Airways (BMED really), and we are now stopping in town for a few nights so I hope to be a regular visitor to your hash, when my ‘trips’ to Almaty have me there on Sundays. I will try to bring the whole crew hashing. They may come if I emphasise ‘beer’ and leave out ‘running’.

My home hash is the Teign Valley H3 in Devon UK.
If all goes well I will probably be in town on Aug 7 or just after, but on a ‘social’ with my wife & 2 boys.

So can I ask for some advice?
What are the ‘must do’ things for a 7 day trip? We like outdoor stuff (bikes, water, walking etc). Perhaps some of your hashers are connected with such things.
Anyway all advice & contacts welcome. Hope to see you on the 8th if I can drag myself out of bed after 4hrs sleep!

On On

Dear HASHERS,

It is so nice to here from you NO OPINION AT ALL about LIVE HASH at Kapchagai that Trinity's Bitch and me have set on Sunday.

I do not want you to remind me about how drunk and happy I was , how I dared to swimm being dead drunk , how I tried to seduce poor Ainash , or bury poor drunk fellow aka Third Leg in the sand , or what a terrible sun-burn you have gotten after our HASH.

Have not you gotten any opinion to share with other fellow HASHERs that missed our Kapchagai HASH?

Have not you gotten any wish to say to HASHERs that were around you that day?

Share your opinions with us and you will see how big our HASH love is... ooops

Come on lazy bastards!!! Write something!!!

Cordially,
Pumpkin Eater
