For the Receding Hareline, 2 members will
be rotated to be the Hares.
The Run sites shall be
decided by the Hares
They will select either an In-run (vicinity
of the Club) or an Out-run (Anyway in W.P/Selangor)
Policy for 2011, the first Tuesday of the month shall be a In Run – by order of Miss Management.
If they are unfamiliar with setting trails, obtain assistance of the Mismanagement to find an experience Harrier to be Consultant Hare.
A member of the
Mismanagement will be on standby as Consultant Hare to help Virgin
Hares. (see Receding Hareline)
The Hares and the
Consultant Hare will:-
RUN:
1. Recee or
survey their desired run site at least a month early.
(Run duration to be between 60 mins to 90 mins)
2. To forward directions of run site to the On Sec and Baskar 3 weeks before scheduled run.
3. Lay the actual trail on the run day, 3 hours before the run starts.
4. To collect refreshments together with Icebox, garbage bags, table from club (sports)
CIRCLE:
After the
run, refreshments i.e. beers, isomax, water bought from the Section
Members’ Subscription Fund will be served and the Circle will be
conducted by the Grandmaster.
Beer will be served only when the 1st runner on paper returns or at the absolute discretion of the GM.
Hare must ensure the Icebox is returned to the club the following day.
FELLOWSHIP:
The
Hares will decide where the On On (dinner) will be.
It can
either be in the Club for In-runs and any restaurant near the
Out-runs or catered food at the run site.
The section has fixed
a minimum sum of RM350 per hare as contribution towards the food.
This sum is based on the 36 runs per year (12 are members' runs and 4
are special events), which works out to RM9.73 per meal. Cheap,
cheap!!! Further contributions are always welcomed.
SETTING OF RUN BY HARES
These rules relate to the management of the runs and are to be adhered to by the Hare and the Co-Hares. The primary responsibility of the Hare is to set the run and ensure all runners are back safely.
1. Run lengths are to be within 1 hour to 1.5 hours. Do not set runs longer than the 1.5
Hours. A 1.5hr run is long please inform slower hashers so that they may double back or short cut.
2. Ensure that there is enough paper on the trail.
3. Try to avoid kampongs and residential areas. Not everyone appreciates hashing.
4. If the trail cannot avoid kampongs or residential areas, then flour or shredded paper must be used. This will reduce the loss of trail paper.
5. Ensure that checks are connected maximum 100m from the checkpoint. Otherwise we might have rabbit stew for dinner.
6. All runners are to stay on paper. Return to the last paper at the check should you wander away from the trail.
7. All runners should carry torch lights and their mobile phones for their own safety.
8. If runners are lost and call for assistance to be picked up,
the Hare or the Co-Hares must arrange for the transport to pick up the lost party.
9. Runners who have not returned will be known from the check-in list. If runners are not
back by the time the circle is over, one of the hares must remain at the run site.
The other may have to go to the restaurant to arrange the dinner for the rest. Under such circumstances runners are to assist hares where possible. The Co-Hare at the restaurant must ensure food is sufficient for those remaining at the run site.
10. If by 9.00pm, runners have not returned, a search party consisting of the Hare and helpers are to be dispatched into the trail.
11. The Circle shall be postponed should majority of runners not be back by 8.30pm
12. Someone is to be stationed at the run site during runs all the time and mobile phone numbers to be issued to runners should an emergency arise.
13. Hares must be equipped with torches and mobile phones in case there is a need for a search.
14. The search party must take enough drinks for the lost runners.
15. All runners are to register on the check-in (attendance list), this is to keep track of runners and for insurance coverage.

Tarzan/Alka 17th Anniversay Run Run Site : Vicinity of Bukit Gasing Hares : Tarzan & Alka plus some unknown hired hares Weather : Fine weather As we drove towards the Gasing Playground, we could see Tarzan had invited many many guests. The roads around the playground were totally parked with cars. The new car park (courtesy of MBPJ) was totally full. Fear not, there is always room for another car. At 5.30, Tarzan shouted "Oo yi oh!!" and off we ran towards the entrance to the park and up we went relentlessly upwards to a peak and then down again to the bottom. Then another upward climb (stupid lah, is there something called the downward climb?) towards the notorious Telekoms hill and people were seen struggling to get to the top, which happened to be the abandoned Hindu Temple. At this point, the heroes like Lilian & David, CCGoh and his two sons turned left and went on to go down, climbed another hill, down again and went up yet another hill before coming down to the playground. The smarter hashers like UY, Vivien and Thomas took the opportunity to take a right turn, go down to the Telekoms tower and then emerging to the road. Civilisation at last! We walked to the Grand Mansion and I jumped straight into the inviting pool, not forgetting to pick up a can of cold Tiger beer. The rest came straggling towards the Playground and then upwards to Tarzan's house (that climb alone is so tough, without trees for me to hug!" ) a palatial mansion which is the envy of many (but not my good wife, Alice who thought of the area she has to vacuum, mop and clean and who sensibly said 'no, thank you') Upstairs, the screen was playing classics like Satisfaction (Rolling Stones) and definitely NOT He ain't heavy, he's my brother (Hollies) hoping that there will not be another incident of Serena Tan fainting on the trail and having to be carried home by Dato Steven Oon. We tucked into a lot of goodies like ABC and Chendol and wadil and nasi lemak and pizza washed down with copious amount of Tiger and Carlsberg beer (thirstier people like UY found Glen Morangie). Smart people came back, went upstairs and jumped into the inviting swimming pool. UY was the first and he was followed by many others. The beautiful thing was that you could swim and have a cold beer at the end of the lap ... that's life or as the French would say " C'est la'vie" And so we celebrated the 17th Anniversay of the glorious marriage of Shyam and Alka and wish them another 17 years of wedded bliss.
