Hashers We are deeply concerned about the rising levels of fitness exhibited in our drinking club recently. There are signs that many of us are losing weight, drinking less and generally I feel we have ‘lost our way’ as a drinking club and If we don’t take immediate action there is a very real danger that we could become a running club. This was not what we all signed up for. To some extent we blame the ‘laissez faire’ GM management style, which if continued unchecked, could lead to us winning running medals and being known for our marathon times instead of our ‘yard of ale’ times. New visitors to our club are now getting 90 mins or more in the form of an off road winter beasting which is more suitable for Andy McNab and less applicable for Andy Cap. This ‘exercise’ is eating in to valuable drinking time as we get to the pub much later and with kitchens closing at 9pm we aren’t getting grub sometimes. All this leads us towards certain victory in Rio 2016 and a miserable failure at the next Beer festival in Guildford. We hark back to ‘the glory days’ when hares set trails of about 4.5 miles with hashes that lasted an hour. This makes our running more accessible to new visitors as the distance is manageable and we get time in the pub afterwards to explain to a flour covered and bewildered virgin what just happened to them so that we have a chance that they may return again. With a concerted effort we can get those beer bellies back and perhaps swell our members! If Drift could remind hares of the 4.5 mile / 1 hour guideline for each run we can get back to these glory days of athletic shame. On On LP and SM
