IRISH BREAKFAST = SUNDAY OCTOBER 25th, DUBLINER

Just a quick reminder about the VH3 Irish Breakfast at 12:00 at the Dubliner on Sunday, Oct 25th.

Can I suggest the opportunity is used to (again) discuss how VH3 is organised? I'm quite happy to keep the blog up to date and / or set up a facebook page and send emails out.... but seems daft to do this from the UK rather than locally :)

Enjoy...

DUBLINER QUIZ REMINDER

Just a quick reminder to all that the Dubliner Quiz is running again on Monday nights :)

DUBLINER QUIZ RETURNS MONDAY 21st

Hi All,

Andy at the Dubliner asked that we mention that the Dubliner Quiz returns this coming Monday evening (September 21st).

Have fun if you go.... I won't coz I'm not back until October 5th :)

On, On

PS - While mentioning the Dubliner.... remember the IRISH BREAKFAST on the last Sunday in September :)

VH3 HASH 334 SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20th

Below are details of Sunday's Hash.... it's in that nice bit of park / wood next to Akropolis.... so no map this week:) Everyone can find Akropolis!!

We are setting the trail with Roma in the Ozo park next to where I live. So it is in the direction of Akropolis: get to the large junction at Akropolis and turn to the right if you come from Kalvariju or Seamens Arena, or to the left if you come from the oposite direction, and go straight forward along Gelvonu st. until you see a mini Maxima on the right side, pass it and park at the parking lot in front of AUTOSERVISAS. Caution - don't go beyond the yellow kiosks on your left.

For those coming by bus No 53, 56, 75 (mini bus No 2 or private bus 62) bus stop 'Gelvonu' - meeting point a few meters ahead.

I think it should be clear, in case you need other directions, please, contact me 8 699 82 562

Regards

PS.... of course remember the car pool at bottom of Pilies... cars leave at 11:00. Be at Hash at 11:15 for 11:30 start.... 10 lts per adult to cover drinks etc etc

VH3 HASH NUMBER 333 September 6th

VH3 are 50% towards the dreaded 666 .... or if you are reading in Oz .... 999 ! Yes, it's Hash Number 333 and as promised Kiltman will set a Hash through, round, up and down Kalnu Park. The trail will pass some real spot on photo sites in Vilnius... the Bell Tower... and if no-one has ever see the view from the Hash view on Hill of 333 crosses (well, 3 crosses) then now is your chance.

There is a map attached showing the location..(actually I can't find the map... but it'll appear on the blog later:) ). but it's not really difficult to find... turn right at bottom of Pilies and after 300m where the road turns at 90 degrees go directly forward... might be better to park at the official parking at the 90 degree turn?

Meet at 11:15 for an 11:30 start.

Normal cost of 10 lts per adult to cover drinks etc. Kids free... most of the trail is suitable for kids....

So see you there... remember 90% of VH3 will be walkers and if you get lost then call Kiltman on 8 653 10009.... but if you can't get 300m from the bottom of Pilies then...........

On, on and lunch will be back up in the Old Town at the Dubliner.... from around 13:15.

Kiltman.......

TUESDAY NIGHT QUIZ

Over the summer a few galant members of Vilnius HHH (and assorted others) have gathered at ManoAlibi uder the name 'THE COLONIALS' to participate in the Tueday night Quiz. Starting at 19:00 ish the quiz is mostly attended by Lithuanians with the Colonials being the only English speakers... but the questions are repeated in English...

Unlike the Dubliner Quiz there is no bonus round and no plus / minus points depending on team size... resulting in some quite big teams (which has it's disadvantages as there ain't a lot of space!)

The Colonials do OK.... normally finishing in the top half of the 17 or so teams but we are gradually creeping upwards having finished 2nd last week...

Over a quarter year a first place finish gives a team 5 points, 2nd 4 points down to 5th 1 point. The top 8 over the quarter (Mondays & Tuesdays) go into the final....

Us Colonials only joined in about half way through but we have finished the quarter in 21st place out of over 100 teams...... not too bad....

If anyone is interested in joining The Colonials drop us a mail.... 'fraid it's not really possible for anyone 'just to turn up' due to space restrictions :)

You can read more on www.manoalibi.lt

And the food is some of the best in Vilnius.... unusual & good value. The stuffed mushrooms are number 1 :)
