I am member of the Malaga Boqueron Hash House Harriers in southern Spain. Are any BT people hashers.

i've talked to a few hashers on while on bonaire but i don't know if they are also BT'ers.

Theres a guy on the pier with some great stuff

The hash house harriers has nothing to do with drugs. It is a world wide drinking club with a running problem. Started in Kuala Lumpa in 1937, so well established.

Not much response from Hashers. Nevertheless I am now in Bonaire and will be wearing some form of Hash House Harrier T shirt. If you see me, just say On On and I will recognise the Hash call. Honest.

Very interesting, Trevor. I will admit that I first thought you were pulling my leg

I then educated myself.

Enjoy your time in BON and maybe you will find another Hasher

Hi Trevor,
A Canadian hasher here, I'll be back on island in a week. How long are you on island for and which is your home hash? We may know some fellow hashers from abroad.
I had a plan to start a Bonaire hash and will possibly do so before the year ends. I have recieved a strong interest with some locals already and I believe that the group will be successful.

Now Kiv~Kobi Would I do that. Hashers don't pull peoples legs, we are just honest fun loving beer drinking guys. Trust me i'm a hasher. And look, now there's a posting from Madame Flash from Canada. Looks like there could be a hash on Bonaire before the year is out.

Hi Madame Flash Good to hear from you. I will be on Bonaire until 21 December staying at Bonaire Exclusief #20. My local number is 7888005. My daughter and son in law arrive on 17 November for two weeks, and they are also hashers. I am a co-founder of the Malaga Hash in southern Spain. The other founders are Wobbly Bob, Foreskin and Flakey, all international hashers and been to many Interhash meetings. We all used to be with Mijas until we formed the Malaga kennel in 2002. Flakey has now gone back to Mijas. Let's try and have an inaugural run whilst my daughter and son in law are here. If we could that would be great.

Come on you BT people,the plan is on. Get out your trainers, and get in training. Four beers a day is a good start!!!! Don't hesitate to call me about a 'training' schedule, which will include exercising your face muscles so you do not strain them with laughing too much. On ON to the first Bonaire Hash.
Lee Marvin, Malaga HHH

Hello Again!
I should be able to arrange a run/outing during the time your family members are on-island. Will only take a few posters to display and some phone calls in order to round up some fun people, aside from those already eager to start. As you know the more the merrier!
I will be contacting you next week.

Madame Flash

trevor, remember, four beers on bonaire should be easy...the beers are small. i just heard about some sporting event in australia...i think it might have been a two-day volleyball tournament. to cut down on rowdyism they have placed a limit on how much beer you can have in a day...the limit is now 24 cans a day or 48 for the tournament....gotta love those aussies.

Hi Madame Flash I look forward to meeting you and I feel confident we will have a hash in the next few weeks, even if there are only the four of us. I have already told my daughter and son in law to bring their trainers. By the way, do you know Two Jugs. I think he was from Edmonton. I know I have met several from Edmonton at Interhash.
For BT members who are not hashers, Madame Flash is a Hash name, as indeed is Lee Marvin. It is sometimes best not to ask how a hasher got a particular name!!!!!!
On ON Lee Marvin

This sounds like a blast and I love the names!! I would have to know how and why each person has the name they have though!! :-)

Never heard of this..but I'd be game!

Pat, LOL

I am VERY intrigued by this thread. RA, Meryl we could have been hashers the other weekend. I just packed the wrong shoes!!!

Can we be hashers if we fancy wine/liquor vs. beer?
I need to do more research and then let's pick our names!

Just little ole me!! Once Madame Flash arrives and things are finalised, all the details will be posted. In the meantime dig out your trainers. Hope to see you on the 'run'.

Hi Kiv One important point - you have no say in the choice of name. You are given a name which the other hashers think is appropriate for you. It can take several 'runs' before an appropriate name pops up and you get christened.

IT'S A RUNNER. Madame Flash from Edmonton, Canada, and Lee Marvin from Malaga,Spain, met tonight and have agreed that there will be the first Bonaire Flamingo Hash on Thursday 19 November. More details to follow but in the meantime, if you know where we can get a small plastic flamingo, we would love to hear from you.

Where are all you potential hashers. The first Bonaire Flamingo Hash will start at 6-0pm on Thursday 19 November at South Sunset Beach. The cost will be only 5 Naf to cover beer and soft drinks. Afterwards at Paradise Moon. Any queries call Lee Marvin on 7888005. Hope to see you there. P.S. Don't forget to bring your SMILE

Well, tomorrow is the day for the inaugural run of the Bonaire Flamingo Hash House Harriers.

We have a big HHH group here in SB but I've not joined yet. You see them running all over the place in crazy costumes and stopping along the way for a chug --- very crazy group indeed.

Good job on getting it going Lee!

Please post pics for those of us not on island and especially for those you've now intrigued!

3 hours to your 'run' !!!!

Well, it happened. There is now a Bonaire Flamingo Hash on the world hash scene. Yes, 10 turned up, four previous hashers (three from Malaga, Spain and one from Edmonton, Canada) and six virgin hashers. It was a good start and everybody appeared to enjoy themselves. We hope to have another one in two weeks time. We are trying to work out the best day for hashing on Bonaire.
Thanks to everyone who turned up to be part of hashing history. On On to the next one and I hope to see YOU there.

Last night HHH event had an international flare with people from Spain, Canada, US and Bonaire. We had runners and walkers, young and old. Since we were first timers, we didn’t know what to expect but it turned out to be a fun social event. Now that I know a little more about HHH I will try to recruit some fun loving people to join us for the next event.

So very very awesome!!!

Any pictures to share??? the voyeurist in me is dying here!!!

Hi Bloom There are some pics but I need to work out how to load them on here.
Hi Cindi. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. You are true hashers. See you soon.

Just to remind all you budding hashers that run #2 of the Bonaire Flamingo hash will be sometime next week. Details will be posted soon.

Hi Trevor, Are you staying at Bonaire Exclusief? If so can you give me your opinion please. Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob I have sent you a private message. For other BT people on Bonaire , please note the next 'run' for the Bonaire Flamingo hash house harriers will be next Thursday at 1715 or 5-15pm in old money. The starting point will be published when I have checked it out, hopefully on Sunday.

As the hare this week I gained a different perspective on the event. Although the course was not as physically challenging as last week, the course had many twists and turns, check points and even a few false trails. That made it another fun event.

Tonight we bid farewell to a couple of adventurous CIEE students. They were front-runners in all the events, brought a lot of enthusiasm and we thoroughly enjoyed their camaraderie.

New comers or vacationers, whether walkers, joggers or runners, are encouraged to come out and join in the fun of the Bonaire Flamingo Hash House Harriers. On On

Well done Cindi as a virgin hair. Also that is a nice report. See you next week. On On Lee Marvin

Hash House Harriers and BobieJans get together.
I was having my ribs tonight in the Back Yard and the couple next to me recognised my Chiang Mai 2006 Interhash Polo shirt. They were from Carolina and he was a hasher. Small world. I have tried to persuade them to come to the run on Wednesday 16 December. On On. Lee Marvin

Only one more day before run #4 which will be at 5pm on Wednesday 16 December starting at the side of CIEE building. Come and join us for some fun and a beer or two. This will be my last run on this trip as I return to Spain next Monday. Hope to see you on the run.
On On Lee Marvin

Do you anticipate a run the next Wednesday too? The 23rd? I have been all over the world, barely missing hash runs all my life. Maybe I'll finally find one. And what is the lower end of the age limit on these? Do you have to be drinking age or are teenagers welcome? Have two boys, 14 and 16.

Hi Eric I will now after the run tomorrow whether or not there will be one on the 23rd. I will have left the island. As for the lower age limit, last week there was a young girl of about 10. On On Lee Marvin

Another successful run last night. Run number 5 will be 5-15pm on Wednesday 23 December starting opposite Paradise Moon Restaurant, near the Harbour.
Wear something red. On On Lee Marvin

Reminder - Run number 5 will be 5:15pm tonight, Wednesday 23 December starting opposite Paradise Moon Restaurant, near the Harbour.
Wear something red.

See you there.

how long is the run..is there one next week..??

The run/walk is about an hour with a beer check half way through.

I do not know if there will be an event next week. If there is it will get posted.

How was the run last night. I would have preferred to have been on it rather than here in snowy UK

Lee, we truly missed your wit and sense of humor and overall jovial good nature last night.

There were only walkers at last night’s event. There were two new yacht people with a lot of enthusiasm that participated, every marker they shouted On On. At the end, while in the circle they thought they had to sing a song, so they busted out singing a lumberjack song. LOL It was then pointed out that while in the circle a selected song was sung to them.

After the close of the circle we went to Paradise Moon for drinks and dinner.

What are the details of the next run. Brenda, did you receive the pics of run # 4. On On Lee Marvin

Bon Anya All!

The next gathering of the Flamingo Hash will take place on Wednesday, January 6th at 5:15 pm. The meeting location will be at the MCB parking lot that is next to Little Havana in town. Come join the crew for the 6th running of the Hash on Bonaire.
The cost is 5 guilders which includes liquid refreshments!
