The next Ubon Hash 'run' will take place on Saturday 5th July and will kick-off from, and end at, N-Joy Bar and Restaurant, which is on the western edge of central Ubon. Have only just returned from the UK so will scout a run in the next couple of days, either running from the N-Joy or from somewhere in that vicinity. In any event transport will be provided to the run start from N-Joy if appropriate.

N-Joy bar is at the western end of Palochai Road beyond the Tohsang City Hotel and Ubon Prison. See the attached Word document for a map

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 too 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 flour/chalk and the pack must 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 outing and inexpensive (250B) thereafter; even cheaper for Thais and cheaper again for under 17s - and the fee includes several free beers afterwards, often a beer stop during the run and occasionally even some snacks.

Hi Steve,

I will be attending on Saturday 5 July.

Will be leaving UK on Wednesday 2 July, arrive BKK 3 July and overnight, return to Ubon on 4 July.

Looking forward to returning after nine weeks in the UK.

See you all soon.

Great - look forward to seeing you!

I'll be there, if things goes as planned................

If anyone wishes to go direct to the run site we will set off from the south-west corner of Huai Meuang. It is however only 1 km from N-Joy and anyone arriving at N-Joy by 4:15 will be ferried to the run start and ferried back to N-Joy afterwards.

If the afternoon rains interfere I'm sure we can find a couple of places to drink some beer or whatever is your fancy.

Hi.

I will be moving to Phibul mangsahan in October and am keen to join the area's Hash. I guess Ubon is the nearest. How can I contact you?

Thanks,

Marc
