1913
– 18 May – AGM Trail
Venue: Blackheath Car Park, Chilworth
This hash
doesn't often run in the really wild bits of Surrey and frankly there are not
too many wild bits of Barnes, apart from the Heath itself
which is far too common. No this was proper Surrey at a lovely time of
year with bluebells still carpeting parts of the trail and only the odd
residence to be seen. There was a good turnout to the Blackheath car park
which is adjacent to the now closed and missed Villagers pub, which did at
one time serve the hash but no more, as it is no longer a free house ( actually it's two bloody expensive houses).
This trail was set by our R A Specky
who knows this patch better than his former beat. He used his cunning
to provide a much varied trail with, it was
estimated, more checks than there were sandwiches at the pub which probably
means that he used more flour as well. It went over towards Albury and then towards Wonersh
dipping south to use a little blacktop just to appease those Barnes runners
used to a more asphaltic environment.
We were joined in the car park by some electric skateboarders whose wares
were being gleefully eyed up by Chipmunk as an alternative to shank's pony
while Leo provides pulling power to Layby. The company car for the boreders was an open topped Merc
and they obviously knew more about the weather than our RA as they opted to
leave the car topless in the car park as the thunder clouds gathered all
around.
We went to the Percy Arms for the on in and Specky
has organised some sandwiches while the AGM proceeded, enlightened as it was
by OITE's new hairdo. The election of officers was a true example
of democracy with President Zelensky
of Ukraine on the ballot for a key role ( election banner - you put the UK in
Ukraine) but unfortunately he sent word that he was a little tied up ( the
way Putin wants him to be) to take on the job.
So the old guard was re elected for another year and there were sighs of
relief all round.
We had a guest RA in Scud who announced a few sinners including your scribe
for being "tanned" possibly meaning converted into the leather which his skin wil soon
resemble. There there was Fevvers
who was being far too athletic having been let loose on proper countryside
for once and Nelson who kept appearing all over the place. It was great to
see Lunchbox and his lovely Harriet at the pub and we hope to have him back
running soon.
A jolly evening bantered on until well past the witching hours.

AGM
Voting
Last night during the BH3 AGM an exemplary democratic
process was invoked to vote n the coming yearŐs mismanagement based on:
M=EC-H*
The ballot sheet with results of the on the night voting is attached (1) and
from this you will see that a number of new officials were welcomed: V Zelensky; Post Office IT dept.; Elon
Musk; Peaky Blinders and surprise of the evening Upstanding Member Bozo
Johnson.
However, this did not allow for Postal Ballots; countering the effects of
social media campaigns and booster jabs against viral hacking.
The final outcome is on Mismanagement1.htm
and from this you will see that the surprise of the evening is that B Johnson
is not an Upstanding Member but RHUM is. Raffles, despite not being on the
ballot continues as Joint Dog Master with Leopold as the Senior.
Welcome to the new-ish mismanagement and another
year of mis-rule!
BTW The Percy Arms did us proud with the biggest sandwiches and best chips so
far.
On on
* Mismanagement = Election x Confusion - Hacking
