The Beginning

The annual Yummy Kippers run, is a tradition of the Calgary hash. Hardly and Twisty have organized this for a very long time. The run precedes the MisManagement Erections where the group refreshes the management team.

The run was set from Big Al’s Bar & Grill in the neighbourhood of Southview, which is very close to Forest Lawn. This neighbourhood has some history and is undergoing a level of gentrification. Bordering International Avenue, it is quite an eclectic part of town.

The group arrived in the parking lot on this warm evening. The sun was setting as a reminder that we are now in fall and the light in the evening is getting thin.

Insane Bolt called the circle to order, and the group formed something that sort of looked like a circle.

Insane Bolt went through the formalities with announcements and introduction, plus enjoying some yummy fish crackers .

With the munching complete, the hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for the run. The marks are special, as the shape of a fish is prominent.

The pack was released to find the marks, and to catch the last rays of sun as dusk was settling in.

The Run

Out of the parking lot, the pack headed south and found the marks indicating that they were on trail.

The refreshments were tasty and the group got busy enjoying the twilight evening outdoors.

A keen hasher observed that were were on Ash Crescent. One letter away from Hash Crescent. Insane Bolt decided this was something that needed to change.

Back to the bar, checking out the fancy features of the neighbourhood.

Back to the bar, the group settled in to ordering food and beer and prepared for the down downs and the Erections.

The Down Downs

As we attempted to get organized, beer was ordered and the beer wenches got busy getting things together. It was finally time to get the down downs started.

Hump the Shark was the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. He appointed the choir of Swollen Member and Rashy Bush.

The hares were called up for a down down. A fine trail with Yummy Kippurs for snacks.

PMS wanted to show off her matching fashion, so she was invited up for a fashion down down.

With the down downs done, it was time to move onto the next order of business, the Erections of the new MisManagement team for next year.

Erections

A difficult process as the mismanagers are a fickle bunch, who know the rules. Find your replacement of your are doing this for another year.

Insane Bolt ran the erections. A somber introspective exercise which delivered the slate of new MisManagement for 2026-2027 fiscal year.

The result of this exercise is that we have a fresh MisManagement team to lead the hash forward into the next year. Come out to find out what the new team looks like!

Trail Summary

A fine trail of close to 5 km through the wilds of Southview. So close to Dover and Forest Lawn and in the vibe of International Avenue. A fun time was had by both the runners and the walkers.
