WASHers is back!
Hashing isn't only about being embarassing in public, wearing seriously unflattering jogging togs and drinking too much beer - some hashers drink too much wine, as well.
The Wine Appreciation Society of Hashers - "WASHers" - was founded by Wet Wipe of the Bristol Hash House Harriers, the inaugural meeting being held on Thursday 26th May, 2005 at the Clifton Sausage. A lot of wine, (including two re-launches) has been passed since then.
The last WASHers, of which there is no known record, was at Sergio's in Frogmore Street, Bristol, on Friday, 20th July, 2007.

 La Tasca, Broad Street, Bath.
The sixth WASHers meeting was held on 21st January 2006 at La Tasca in Bath, at the suggestion of Puki Jangut. What a shame we had to phone him after about the 3rd bottle and remind him about it. When they arrived a short time later Soprano took great delight in announcing that PJ had attended La Tasca the previous evening and had wondered where everyone else was!
As well as Soprano and PJ (eventually), attendees on the correct evening were me, Sleepy, Duvet, HBK, Kerb Crawler, and Stiffy. As the first to arrive Sleepy, Duvet and I started with a half bottle of sherry. Well it was a Spanish restaurant! We then went on to a very palatable red called Yllera; in fact we had four, or possibly more, bottles of Yllera! I believe there may have been a couple of other bottles of something else in there too. As an accompaniment to the wine we had several plates of tapas chosen by Sleepy and Duvet, followed closely by a few more chosen by me, all of which were very yummy.
Discussion took place over whether WASHers should branch out a bit and organise a picnic for later in the year. This was generally thought to be a good idea, so keep your eyes open for details.
As far as I can remember nothing too odd happened, but I couldn't be certain of that. Sleepy even managed to get his train home, where I understand PeePee was waiting for him at the station.
My hangover the next day was so bad I was late for the Hash and only managed about half a mile of it. C'est la vie! Or whatever it is in Spanish. ["ˇÉsa es vida!", possibly - Ed.]
The next WASHers will be on Friday 17th March at Delmonico, 217 Gloucester Road, Bishopston. Tel 0117 924 6000. www.delmonico.co.uk.
See you there at 7pm!
Wet Wipe.
