Minutes of Mismanagement Meeting Held at Big Rock Brewery on October 8, 2003
(what a great place to hold a meeting - free flowing great Big Rock draft beer on tap!!)

Attendees:
Smirk, Suck No Evil, Billythong, Lakey, P’Tooey, Hash Test Dummy, Lay ‘Em in Snow, Tiny Bubbles, Limp Dick, Twisted Sister, Hardly, Skewbic Hare, Dreary, TNT, Thunder Tits, On In.
King Shit arrived at 6.20 p.m. and Knobslinger arrived at 7.00 p.m. - the Hash watches they got for 250 runs must be broken!!!

  1. Bow to the Big Rock gods and continue drinking copious amounts of the nectar of the gods

    This was done by Smirk and enjoyed by all who were there!!

  2. Find some poor Sucker to scribe the session

    Since Sucker wasn’t there. On In (was) volunteered!!

  3. Election of the Joint Master - discussion.

    Smirk introduced this topic talking about the 2 very able and qualified candidates (P’Tooey and Twisted Sister) who had put there names forward for this job. He then asked P’Tooey to speak. P’Tooey then declined the position for 2003/4, preferring to help Lakey with her racks!!! (AKA the Haberdasher position). This left the job open to the other candidate, Twisted Sister, who graciously accepted the challenge and then she moved that P’Tooey be elected to Joint Master for 2004/5. This was seconded by Tiny Bubbles and passed by all who were there. P’Tooey then accepted the job.

  4. A one minute blurb from each previous mismanagement position detailing their duties, etc. so that incoming mismanagement has some fucking clue as to what their roles should look like!!

    Sexitary - King Shit (he is also Übergeek (aka Webmaster) described his job as keeping the run records and updating sheets for new boots, visitors, etc. Ensures list is updated for Hash Cashes and R.A.’s, etc.

    Hash Cash - Suck No Evil (and Tiny Bubbles) talked about getting an updated Hashers list from website before each run along with a supply of waivers (also on website) for new boots. Then she or he should get someone to help at the run and after collecting all moneys (including paying R.A. or Beer Loot for Down Down beer) they have to balance money and reconciliation sheet and give run list, waivers and money, etc. to Joint Master.

    Beer Meister - Lakey talked about the role which mainly involved dealing with Big Rock Brewery (not a bad job if you can get it!!). CHHH is sponsored to the tune of one dozen beer each week which we usually save up until there is enough for an event (re-group or run). The Beer Meister arranges for collection of beer from beer store and delivery to event - e.g. all 14 dozen beer needed for this Monday’s Thanksgiving Run at Skewbic Hare’s and Mucky Dip’s house is from our sponsorship!!

    Hash Trash/Haberdasher - Hash Test Dummy and Lay ‘Em in Snow have done this for the past year - Hash Test announced that she “had a rack” and they have mainly been selling inventory but there is not much left, which means that they have done a good job,. The new Haberdashers (Lakey, P’Tooey and Right Bun) will bring an inventory list to the next Mismanagement meeting. Update - it was also approved at the Thanksgiving Run that the new Haberdashers could order about 50 long sleeve generic “Mud, Sweat and Beers” hash shirts for sale over the next few months.

    Web Service Provider - Tiny Bubbles noted that it is his job to keep the servers running for King Shit (and Fuckawee) to keep the CHHH Website (www.onon.org/asm) up to date.

    Beer Loot - Limp Dick does the most important job in the hash!!! He has to find out the beer price which the Hares have “negotiated” and get a better one if they haven’t done anything!! He then collects cash (usually $5) from all the drinkers and arranges for delivery and payment with the waitress. He also helps arrange for R.A. beer to be poured, delivered and paid as well as collects money for this from Hash Cash.

    Hash Master - Skewbic Hare had the easiest and best job in the Hash!!! He is mainly responsible for getting hares for each run, bugging them to get their location to the Webmaster and Scribes. He then has to organize the circle at each run and “take command”!! He also chairs Mismanagement Meetings and makes “executive decisions” (e.g. should we buy more beer or not??).

    Hash Horn/Hash Mouth - Dreary notes that “I believe I blab!!” He keeps the Hash Hotline (254-9014) up to date (usually each Wednesday) and blows his horn at each run (assisted by Baby and Whale Wanker).

    Joint Master - Smirk noted that he is the Treasurer/Financial Controller of the Hash. He gets the cash from the Hash Cashes and deposits it after checking the reconciliation and entering the detail into the Hash accounting books. He also writes and records all cheques and monitors the bank balance and help the Hash Master with financial planning for events and trash items, etc.

  5. Some possible new and old mismanagement positions were discussed at previous mismanagement meetings that need volunteers if we choose to go ahead with them


    Songmeister -
    in charge of leading Hashers in learning new songs, so that we can add to our vocal repertoire.

    After discussion, we decided to leave this up to the new R.A. to bring up at a future mismanagement meeting.

    Crapmaster (renamed Hash Crapper) -
    the keeper of inventory of reusable shit that we keep buying over and over again that we can reuse - for example, plastic forks and knives, napkins, paper plates, beer cups, regroup cups, dry condiments, chalk, tape, etc.

    It was moved by Lay ‘Em in Snow that we need to appoint a Hash Crapper. The motion was seconded by Tiny Bubbles and passed. Hardly then volunteered to be the first Hash Crapper and Smirk said he would announce the new position at the next run and ask for event organizers to contact Hardly for Hash Crap.

    Scribes - Discuss the question “Do we need a weekly, monthly or quarterly report? If so, we need volunteers.”

    It was noted that TNT and Thunder Tits had volunteered to be Chief Scribes and then we had some discussion about what we needed, noting that Hash Sheets (and write-ups had not been done several months and no one seemed to notice. We then agreed that the new Chief Scribes would recruit scribblers and get runs written up and maybe posted on the CHHH website - the ultimate issue remains how we should transmit the write-ups (i.e. should they be written and printed Vs. posted on the website, or both??)

    Elf - An assistant for the R.A.

    Again, this was left for the new R.A. to decide if he or she needs one.

    Milestoner/Awardinator - someone to take responsibility for the Milestone awards.

    This was deferred until the new R.A. was elected to determine if he or she needs one.

  6. Finally, le piece de resistance: the election of the ever-revered Religious Advisor(s). Knobby will fill us in on this part.


    Knobby
    let us know that he had 2 primary candidates - Kawky Horror and Hardly. He also noted that Kawky was not keen and wasn’t at this meeting. He was more interested in being co-R.A. or Elf. On the other hand, Hardly, was at the meeting and noted that he was willing to do the job if no one else really wants it!! Hardly said that he envisioned the role as more of an R.A. coordinator - getting someone to do the R.A. job each week to spread the responsibility around. This was generally felt to be a good option. Knobby then moved (and Tiny Bubbles seconded again!!) that Hardly be the new R.A. with proviso that has a guest R.A. most weeks. It was also moved (seconded and carried) that the Hash Awardinators would be Hash Test Dummy and Lay ‘Em in Snow.

  7. New Business - if we have time.


    Tiny Bubbles
    notes that the Hash Racks were missing!! The Haberdashers have one but the other one is missing. T.B. will look for a nice new rack!!!

  8. Set a date for the next mismanagement meeting

    Smirk will host the next mismanagement meeting a La Case de Smirk and Wet One on Tuesday, November 4, 2003 starting at 7 p.m. The address is 51 Thornaby Crescent N.W. Phone 295-8408

  9. Thank the Big Rock gods for their hospitality and clean up after yourselves, you slobs.

    This was done with greatful thanks!!!

I hope this captures most of what happened at the meeting - if it doesn’t maybe you can volunteer next time!!!!
