Trash display - The Safe Haven for Bergen Hash House Harriers

Run #1287 was more a party than a run celebrating the BH3 20th Anniversary Happening. That is to say, the founding date was September 4 1996, but many Hashers were out of town in September so the Anniversary was moved to the end of October.

The pack, including Beer Stop who we have not seen since the 10th Anniversary in 2006, gathered in the car park outside Kiwi supermarket at Fjøsanger. Before the run started, Abominator, the BH3 founding father, was presented with a balloon and asked to give a short recital about the early days of BH3.

When everyone had arrived, ON-ON was called. The hares had marked the trail with party torches so the pack would not get lost in the dark. Even a few round-backs were thrown in for good measure. After a full 280 metres, the pack arrived at the venue at Langegården ('The Long Farm') for beer and a circle.

At 7 pm the pack was greeted by gin and tonics and the host for the evening, the tenant farmer at Langegården.

Some excellent nosh was served, consisting of a deer casserole, fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes all washed down with beer and wine before the entertainment started. The end of the party came a bit abruptly, as we had to vacate the venue by 1.30 a.m., perhaps just as well so most hashers were able to get home whilst still standing.
