Hello hashers,
ON ON for OZ - Huge shout out to all those that participated and contributed to the worldwide effort on Aussie Day (26 Jan). About two weeks ago, Haggissimo started a movement to recognize the great efforts of the firemen and other first responders to combat the fires raging across Australia. Many events have been planned and executed since, and several more yet to come, with proceeds going to various charitable organizations "down under." If you would like to contribute, organize an event, or just review read the latest updates, you can see it all at https://www.facebook.com/groups/616071335888196/
----------------------------------------
I have just had the pleasure to review a new book on the hashing, and it is brilliant. A well-crafted and detailed account of how "G" and the boys got started, how hashing spread out around the world, and some of the many differences that hashing taken, along with how it has aged. Author and longtime hasher, "Shakesprick," has spent the past two years gathering historical facts and regional activities of the world of hashing. This soon to be released book may confuse you by the title, so keep an eye out for it . . . "ON ON - A History of the Hash House Harriers" . . . available on Amazon in the very near future. I highly recommend it.

In the Spotlight – Saipan
Saipan is a small island of just 115 sq/kms, but the largest of 14 islands, in the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI). Saipan, along with sister islands Tinian and Rota, is rich with historical artifacts from the second world war, of which I will not go into. Saipan has a small population of just over 50,000, but still boasts a motivated hasher population. There were at least 30 hashers on trail during my recent visit. According to the HHH Genealogy, the Saipan H3 was founded by Curt “AC” Clotheir on 15 Dec 1984, as a spawn of the Agana H3 on Guam. Saipan has spawned at least five hash clubs. First was the Rota H3 in 1993, which lives on only via an annual event of Saipan and Guam hashers. The Saipan No Weenie H3 was next in 1995, and is currently listed as a dormant club. The Saipan Full Moon H3 began in 1996, and still enjoys monthly runs on or around the full moon. Finally, the Anniston H3 was founded in Alabama back in 2006, but appears to have been relegated to the sands of time. There is one other off-shoot of the Saipan H3, the Saipan Hash Impromptu Trail (SHIT) H3 that runs whenever someone wants to host a trail, on a day that the Saipan H3 is not running. During my visit, the SHIT H3 just happened to be running, called by a long since departed Saipan hasher who just happened to be back on island for the holidays.
The normal routine of the Saipan H3 (as well as the SHIT H3) is to meet at the Bank of Guam parking lot, and after about 30 minutes, the hares announce where trail will be on island. Then everyone jumps in their vehicles and off they go. Once the pack is reassembled at the start point, the hares draw up the chalk talk, which includes a large box drawn in flour, that the pack must stand in for 10 minutes to give the hares a head start, while they run off to set trail. Most trails on Saipan are A to B, meaning they will not finish at the start point, but somewhere else on island. The trails will include some roads, and foot paths, but will also have deep shiggy sections in the jungle, that the hares often have to chop their way through with machetes. While I was there, the SHIT H3 started in a cave, and ran through the jungle to a common tourist site, all in the dark. The Saipan H3 started high up on an overlook of the ocean, and finished on the beach. Hashes on Saipan, for a mere $10 US, will provide beer and other drinks, and some form of finger food. The circle is very entertaining, often lasting longer than the trail, and includes down downs and songs, jokes, accusations . . . and a campfire. It is somewhat difficult to get to Saipan, but if you ever have the chance, I highly recommend it, and make sure you include a full Saturday in your itinerary.
