As Hare Raiser I notice that the same people are setting the runs - usually 2/3 times a year. This is despite the fact that the number of people in the hash is increasing week on week, however the 'virgins' don't seem to embed themselves into the hash so the number of active members stays relatively constant.
I would like to see the number of active members increase and so I've asked Hash Cash to set up this blog site where all members can post their thoughts on any changes they might like to see to the hash, to update it, if that's the correct phrase.
So, to start off I've listed below a number of points to start off the debate (these are just thoughts). Please feel free to comment on these points and raise any of your own.
- Alternate running on different nights of the week, say Tuesday one week then Thursday the next week. Tuesday's may not be the best night for some people.
- Change the initiation ceremony - give 'virgins' a couple of weeks to try out the hash before they introduce themselves and get named.
- Meet regularly once a month to socialise and not run - use the occasion to discuss anything - firm up hareline etc.
- Re-introduce the Informer, to write a short article on the run each week.
