Helloooo, Hashers!
Mother Nature says it's officially autumn, and that means saying goodbye to Monday evening hashes for awhile (unless anyone wants to set one in the next few weeks!) so, given that the Golf Club won't have us on any other day of the week, we thought we'd have one more jaunt through their lovely green grass before we head back into the blasting Sunday sunshine! If you don't know/remember where the Golf Club is, check the blog:

Monday night at 6pm sharp, we'll do the (short) golf course run/walk, so that we can make it back to the bar in time for happy hour, and carry on with our Annual General Piss-Up (AGPU, or AGM for those of you on the wagon).
We really need all hashers to make a special effort to attend, as this is the one time per year that we actually need to act like a real club and do some "administrative stuff". Numbers are important, and if there is going to continue to be a Hash House Harriers club in Gaborone in the future, it's important that we get some bodies there and hold this AGPU. Don't forget - it's at a bar, it's a fun run, and there might even be dancing ladies!
Again, The Mismanagement committee is pleading with all hashers to please volunteer a MINIMAL amount of their time to keep the K3H going throughout the year, by joining the committee. If you are not aware, here are some facts that you may or may not need to be reminded of, when digging deep into your heart to decide if you will agree to help out in the coming year:
1) K3H has been running EVERY WEEK for over 1600 weeks. That's over 30 years of hashing in Gaborone. We don't want to see it fail now!
2) The Mismanagement committee is the lowest-effort committee you'll ever find in any club around. Last year we had approximately 3 organized meetings (all involving drinks at a bar, and each lasting less than an hour).
3) You do NOT have to be posted or living in Gaborone for the whole year. If you are leaving town/country due to work or any other number of assorted (popular) excuses, we'll find someone to take over when the time comes. We just need all the help we can get, as long as it lasts.
4) The Mismanagement Committee is what you make it. If you have ideas or suggestions to make the K3H better, this is the way to do it - by joining the committee.
5) There are no "hard" jobs on the committee, everything is easy and takes minimal time. The main responsibility is to simply come up with good ideas for special events and creative ways to have fun as a club.
To summarize, anyone can be on the mismanagement committee, and the more volunteers we have, the better the club will be. We have a handful of committee members stepping down (or shifting roles) to make room for new OR old members to step in and help out. We also will accept anyone who simply wants to be on the committee without a specific role or position, but helps in the social planning for our various parties/events during the year. Dig deep, folks, we need your help.
Here is the list of positions that have been nominated/volunteered for, as of today. And a list of empty spots that we still need to have filled by Monday evening. Here is an old list with a brief description of what we do, if you're not sure: http://kalaharihhh.blogspot.com/p/mismanagement.html
AND! Don't forget, you CAN job-share! So, for example, we could have 2 Hare Razors, one to raise a hare and one to send out the email, etc. Or 2 Haberdashers, or 6 Social Sex members, or an "April-to-September GM" or a..... well, you get the idea.

We are also looking for someone to volunteer to be the K3H "Storekeeper" so to speak, who would simply look after all the stuff that we have. It would basically require keeping an eye on our very small box of worldly possessions, past mementos, etc. If no one volunteers, this might also have to become a rotating position, which may jeopardize some of our "heritage items", so please consider lending a hand and/or a small corner of your garage.
