Shoreham
Angels 60th birthday run
#2425 - Bouncer and Angel's - HHHi hashers. It feels like ages since I have written one of these but actually it has only been a month, and what a one to come back to as this found us celebrating Angel's x0th birthday (as Bouncer kept putting on FB) with a garden full of hashers just ready to go. But before we would head off, Bouncer would note the usage of circles with numbers in them to represent hold points where he would regale us with Angel-related factoids, and I have represented these below as (1), (2), etc.
And so the pack would head out along Downs Way onto Downside and into Buckingham Recreation Ground along the E edge (encountering the first FH, for 6, as in fact they all would be that evening) and on to (1), with Bouncer pointing out Southlands Hospital (where Angel worked for 10-12 years) and St. Nicolas & St. Mary's schools (attended by all three of their boys) and Angel joined a parents' walking group (and in fact still walks every Monday morning before joining us on the hash). Hash continued W, turning S onto Buckingham Rd and (2); as Bouncer puts it, there were about 25 pubs in Shoreham when she hit drinking age, too many to visit all, so at least we could pass her schools, the 2nd being Buckingham school. Bouncer called her back as she had already done the trail and still run through a hold check. Turning W again along Windlesham Rd then S on Windlesham Gdns and another FH6 before turning W on Mill Ln, then S on Victoria Rd and (3) being Swiss Gardens school, Angel's first school (then known as Victoria school). Down to the High St, turning E and immediately onto (4) outside the Piston Broke (then known as The Lazy Toad) where Bouncer and Angel met and her free spirit, world-travelling life ended to become a wife and mum. A loop up Church St and through St. Mary's church gardens would find (5), where Angel had been Baptised (and opposite St. Mary's church hall where she attended ballet). Back down to Brighton Rd trail would continue over the footbridge and (V) (which confusingly looked a lot like a (7), hence the confusion of a number of hashers) which was actually just a viewpoint (hence the 'V') to see the metal cut-outs of notable Shoreham folk including Charles 2nd (who escaped from Shoreham for France after a long trip from Worcester, the route taken now known as The Monarchs Way). W along the waterfront then diagonally over Beach Green to Beach Rd and W on Kings Walk w/ another FH6 at the end before turning up NW. Up to Brighton Rd and (6), pointing out (in the distance) her home since 1967, and the bus stop where they spent 2 hours 'chatting' on the night they met. Continuing E along the pavement, trail then turned N around Adur Recreation Ground but only after a check would find some members returning and others holding back hoping for a possible quick SCB... On to (7), with Bouncer pointing out the Adur Outdoor Activities Centre (formerly Shoreham Yacht Club) where Angel acquired the skills that led to her sailing around the world. Then under the rail bridge then N along the Adur to Shoreham Tollbridge, but not before a FH6, and over Steyning Rd and on to St Nicolas Ln and (8) at St. Nicolas Church where their marriage was blessed. The hash relay had finished in Shoreham that day and the relayers came through an arch made by Bouncer and Angel, with the ladies into the church for the ceremony and the guys into The Red Lion to watch the FA Cup Final! On Inn called, pack proceeded N up The Street, E along Adur Avenue, N on Erringham Rd, E on The Avenue (and a final FH6, which Bouncer deserved another DD for that evening but I forgot) and then a final turn N back onto Downs Way.
With a keg flowing and everyone wanting feeding fed at least once (and luckily no Hash Gomi in sight) circle was called and the obligatory first up to the hare with quick DD to "Here's to the Hare", followed quickly by Angel and a "Hashy Beerday" in a new 60th glass (provided by Bouncer as I was talking - you can tell we don't rehearse these things!). Next up, getting a life would be Knightrider (for an almost not worth it SCB at a corner on the Adur banks), River (for getting a lift on BQ's back), and BQ (for providing said lift to River). A welcome back to the tune of "Oh the Seagulls" would be given to returnees Who killed Kenny, Thermoman, Marigold, Hard On On and Bobble Chopper. Then, "Stupid" hashers Bouncer (for some dubious numbering 1/2/3/4/5/V/6/7/8), KIU (who was spotted looking for that SCB at Adur Recreation Ground), Hot Fuzz (for a wee stop at Adur Recreation Ground) and Jaws (for not stopping for a wee stop at Adur Recreation Ground and drawing attention to that fact). A call-out to the hidden Help of Wildbush, Come Again and Trouble, who had run the kitchen all evening, found them awarded with DDs to "10/9/8", but with Come Again drinking only water a spare DD remained, passed across to LTP for his usual tardiness and catching up on trail, with DD also to "10,9,8". It was noted that some of Marigold's cake was still available should anyone want some, and then another great evening was closed out with a toast to the hash. - Nasty Nips
