ZH3 Hash # 1641: Zim Day Hash - From Zim, With Beer

This week’s awesome Hares are Cherry Popper and Handy with a Strap-On.

We’re bringing a splash of Southern African spirit to Zurich to celebrate Zimbabwe’s Independence Day with a trail fit for kings, queens, and thirsty hashers. Expect lions (probably inflatable), zebras (possibly just striped socks), and a waterfall so majestic you’ll swear it’s Victoria Falls.

Dress loud and proud in the colors of the Zimbabwean flag—green, gold, red, black, and white—and show Zurich how we hash Zim-style. Whether you're here for the beer, the banter, or the vague promise of safari chaos, this trail has you covered.

This week's awesome Hares are Cherry Popper - and helpers.
The Hare will add details soon.

Where:
Bag Drop and On-Inn is Zimkaffee, near Bellevue.
Look for English speakers wearing running gear, corrupt politicians and the smell of heavenly Coffee.

When:
We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. If you arrive after 7, just follow the marks on the ground and expect post-r*n punishment.

There's a 5,000,000,000 Zim dollar charge for participating, which covers beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. 5 CHF is also accepted.

All Welcome:
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
• Physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humor is useful.
• The aim is to find the 'Beer Stop' at the end of the 'trail' and have fun.
• 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running) and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The 'Hare', which changes each event, cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• After Trail, we group for ~30-45 minutes for drinks, snacks and some fun. This 'Circle' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark).

Why bother leaving your warm sofa?
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing.

'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, has been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (Hashes) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - or you can just come along and find out. See you there.

We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies and visitors from other groups.
