SEMPER EADEM,
OR,
PLUS ÇA CHANGE......
CA CHANGE

Well, as the man said, A thing of beauty is a joy for ever. So why change it? What could have been better than the out going committee? (Answers to be sent to the GM, not to the Onsex).
This said, there are changes. Like reverting to J. Arthur as Hash Cash after the Dr Death interregnum.... We have a fine new vocal RA in Arfur Pint, and indeed a 50% female committee. T-Shirt is renowned for her inch by inch knowledge of the Surrey scene and the accuracy of her trails....(it has to be admitted that the Onsex are not entirely in agreement on the qualities required of a Hare Raiser!). Bonn Bugle and Made Marion are at least as likely as the out-going JMs to run all the trails... well, to be fair, Low Profile had a half-way valid excuse, which the Ancient Mariner never did.
Back to today's trail. The hashers who ran it (rather a minority!) arrived with encomiums, to the surprise of the GM, who had merely put together bits and pieces of the usual trails from Ripley, with an unfamiliar section squeezed in between A3 and M25, and the customary towpath finish. (Memo to T-Shirt: aim at ORIGINALITY on the part of your hares!)

Your votes are solicited to discover the accepted successor to Abba as chief SCB for SH3. I am aware of the pretensions of our Uncle Gerry in this respect (need I say more?) but would myself vote for the Cruncher of Glass. Today he led the pack out of the pub at the start unswervingly onto a tract of Ripley Green quite devoid of flour... Popeye is disqualified. True, he is never (visibly) on trail - when he is, he is so far ahead as not to count as part of our hash - but he seldom runs less than 150% of the distance the hare had in mind, which is not how SCBs are recognised. (As an aside, there is a new and deplorable trend to trade marks; not just anchors, real or spurious, but initials: MM, AT, and so forth. Ladies and Gentlemen, hash flour is not meant for graffiti! Hashing is not meant for personal fame!)
Cogratulations to those who solved the more difficult checks today - at the A3 bridge, at the Wisley church; the "acknowledged" (by whom?) front runners failed at each and ran much farther than they needed to. It must be Popeye's influence taking hold of the hash....

Tequil'over.
