[SantiSuk]

Ubon Hash Run 58 will be this Saturday, 6th July with the run(/walk?!) site being close to Home Hub on Ubon Ring Road West between the new Central Mall and the River Mun bridge. Meet for a pick-up at Wrong Way café (Phadaeng Road in central Ubon) at 4.00pm or go direct to the start point* for a 4.30 pm prompt start.

A rare opportunity (these days) to sample a run hared by our founder Bob-a-Job. Don't miss it!

*To get to the run site: Travel anti-clockwise round the Ring Road from the Yasothon junction, passing the Central Plaza (or turn South down the Ring Road at the Saphasit Road junction). Carry on south past the PTT station then approximately 300 meters past Home Hub prepare to turn off left on the other side of a small bridge. There is a small area on the right for hash car parking. If you find yourself crossing the main Mun River bridge you have gone too far!

Hashing is social 'running' and there have been hash clubs all over the world since its 1930s origins in Kuala Lumpur. The running bit is not taken seriously and beer is drunk to oil the social side. Ubon Hash, in line with the Ubon environment is laid back and only a few enthusiasts put in a few spurts of running. The rest walk. A trail is laid, typically in white powder like flower/chalk and the pack has to find the trail, which keeps the front runners busy while the walkers catch up. After the run the beer ice-boxes are opened and the socialising begins. We usually go back for some more beer and maybe some food around town in the early evening, and some more beer later in the evening, but that is entirely optional on your part! Although hashing has been described as a 'beer drinking club with a running problem' you will find that we are not drunken lunatics and quite sociable really!

Don't be a stay at home wuss - get out there with us and discover the sides of Ubon you would not normally uncover. It's dead cheap (100B) for your first run and inexpensive (200B) thereafter; even cheaper for Thais - and that includes several free beers after, and sometimes a beer stop during, the run.

Unfortunately I won't be there, as I'm in Oz at the moment and it's bloody cold and pissing down with rain,not good beer drinking weather.

But,enjoy the "run" and have a few beers for me.See you all on the next hash.
