Chief Scribes

Booked well ahead. Scribe pens are very popular.

Hash Cash

Hash Cashers who volunteered are not showing up at runs leaving Twisted Sister to do the job herself. Smirk to send these people an email asking them if they want to continue volunteering, and if so if they can devise a system where two people are available every run. If the current cashers do not want to continue, new cashers will be found.

Haberdash

Stock moving well, new Beenies are selling and there are a few toques, neck tubes and long sleeved shirts left. Looking into prices of short sleeved shorts and singlets (tanks) - decision to be made before March 1 when the screen price increases. Will order through Whalewanker so he can pay the GST. Lakey to look into cost on spandex shorts from Sugoi and New Balance (she can buy at cost).

Awardinator

Suggested we do something similar to the 69 apron to recognize those with a 50 run milestone after 350. Hash Test authorized to go shopping at Value Village.

Beer Meister

Lakey is to meet with Big Rock and discuss current sponsorship. From talking to BR they are unhappy that we are not giving anything back to the brewery in terms of promotion. Lakey to talk to scribes and ensure that Big Rock is mentioned in the run write-ups, she will then send copies to her contact. King Shit has put their logo on the home page and on the past runs page with link to BR web site. Lakey will put together some other ideas to present to them. She will also discuss beer prices and start compiling a list of ‘preferred' pubs that hares can refer to. This will be updated frequently and sent to King Shit to upload onto the web site.

Future Runs

Hardly and Twisted Sister to look into campgrounds for a joint run with the other hashes sometime in the summer.

Fundraising

Smirk presented two fundraising initiatives that he had been sent. One to organize a run at Eau Claire, the other from Multi-Sports Canada asking for volunteer assistance in exchange for the donation to the hash. Smirk to decline the invitation to set the run, but to acquire more info on the Multi-Sports events (dates etc).

General discussion about fundraising - do we need it, want it etc? Decided to make it an agenda item for the next meeting and make decision then.

Next Meeting

Thursday March 11, at Right Bun's new pad - 522 Killarny Glen Court SW

Adjourned at 9.10 pm
