Balsthal, Switzerland
October 29th - 31st 2010
This venue was discovered in 1999 and lo the party was hard. We survived the Y2K virus and went back AGAIN in 2000. After venturing on to unexplored territory, we didn't go BACK again until 2003. Thus it's once again time to go B-B-B-BACK TO BALSTHAL!!!!!!!!!!!
We have rented an entire house with room for maximum 45
Hashers! It has multiple-bed rooms and space for tents.
Rooms will not be
assigned, they'll be designated (for example, snoring, non-snoring,
harriette only, etc.)
Hint: you can drag the map to move it around, click the +/- buttons to zoom in/out.

Check out who's coming...
Here's the rego form.
Bedding: the venue provides a mattress and a pillow. Please bring a mattress cover (a must for hygiene reasons) and a pillow cover (same reason), and bring a sleeping bag too!
Costume: a costume for Saturday's BerZuBa Halloween Party plus a costume for Friday night's Zombie Ball (theme: come dressed as another Hasher as a zombie)
Other things to bring: A flashlight (torch), a towel, pain relievers (for your hangovers), house shoes to wear indoors!
For different music, feel free to bring some CDs or an iPod!
Friday: Registration opens at 17:00, followed by beer, snacks, beer, snacks, a Trail starting at sometime before midnight and our 4th Annual Zombie Ball. Come dressed as ANOTHER Hasher as if he or she had died 20 years ago and had recently crawled from the grave just for this party! So for example, Chainsaw dressed as Likk'mm with half his face full of maggots and blood pouring out of his ears! Costumes on Trail are a must! But trying to climb over barbed wire fences in the nearby cow pastures to shortcut on Trail is a definite no-no! Remember-Zombies feel no pain, but the you underneath will! ALERT!!!!! There will only be soup on offer so eat something before you arrive!
Saturday: Breakfast from 9:00-10:00, or something like that. Trail starts at 10:30-11:00. This year's Trail will feature great views, Sunny weather, ups and downs, as well as what the European Hashing World has long been waiting for-the Hash Wedding of the year! Don't miss this chance to see BerZuBa's beloved 2Bit Slit and Beer Bra test their prowess, their charisma, their talents, their SENSE OF SELF as they attempt to make it to the ceremony. Curious? Make sure you're on Trail to find out what the heck all that means. The Trail will be followed by the world-famous BerZuBa circle from Hell, in which the bride and groom (if they make it this far) will tie the knot for once and for ever!
Sunday: Breakfast from 9:30-10:30, or something like that. The Hangover Run starts about 11:00. As Hovercrap, last year's darling, decided to postpone finishing her PhD just so she can attend this year's event, maybe we'll be blessed with another of her great Trails, followed by a farewell circle and lunch. After all that, pack up your stuff and find a nice, moist spot to bury yourself until next year.
