Vindobona H3 Masthead for November 2011 to October 2012Masthead in Previous Year Masthead in Next Year |
|
For those of you wonder what the hell all those people on the Masthead really do, here is a description of what each person is supposed to do. Where there is more than one name mentioned, the first name is reponsible for the function and the other stand in when he or she is absent. These responsibilities sometimes change depending on who is holding the post and how much they are prepared to do. The GM reserves the right to create or abolish posts, and co-opt people onto the Masthead during the year in order to keep the Hash going. Remember the Hash has no constitution, except the one tradition - the GM is always right.
Grand Master - Norman "The Blessed Saint Norman" Randall
Make sure everybody else does their job properly, and be prepared to stand in for any of the others in an emergency. Organize the down-downs at the end of each run, assisted by the Religious Advisor. Organize regular meetings of the Masthead to discuss problems and sort out responsibilities. When things go wrong, gets all the blame, and when things go right, gets none of the credit, just beer on his or her head.
Vice Grand Mattress - Dagmar "Ice Queen" Atynski
Stand in for the GM when the GM is absent, indisposed or drunk (i.e. most of the time).
Religious Adviser - Arthur Henry "Cardinal Munk, OVH" Munkenbeck III, (aka 'Monasticus Consuasor') supported by Iain "Richard Kopf" Paterson (aka 'XX_RARK') , Don "Multiple Entry" Gautier, Richard "Marathon Man" Kidd and Saw Hua "Standing There" Pui
In co-operation with the GM, the RA (and his supporting cast) conducts the Circle and decides who get the Down-Downs. Keeps an eye out for those who commit Hash Crimes, e.g. shortcutting, not wearing a Hash T-Shirt, talking when the GM or RA is talking, new shoes or car or baby etc.
Hash Pain in the Ass - Saw Hua "Standing There" Pui and Ralph "King Ralph" Weber
The job title says it all!
Hash Lash - Karl "Mind the Gap" Bryk
Finds Hares to set the runs and gets locations from them, so that it can be put in the Haschedule in plenty of time. Responsible for creating the Haschedule and sending an electronic version to the Hash Web Master for putting up on VH3 Web Site.
All Hashers are responsible for volunteering to set runs and coming up with good locations and letting the Hash Lash know about events coming up.
Hash Cash, Hash Web Master & International Contacts - John "Lord Glo-Balls, OVH" Russell
Ass Hash Cash - Horst "Slush Puppie" Hoellhumer, Dagmar "Ice Queen" Atynski and Karl "Mind the Gap" Bryk

The Hare makes sure that enough cold beer, wine and soft drinks are available at the end of each run, to slake the thirst of the pack.
Please note the change of policy (since the AGM on 7 November 1999) which makes the Hare responsible for making sure enough beer is there.

Dick Davis and the Dicktones ( was Gary Gay and his Gaylords, was Curious George and the Homophobes, was Lucky Luciano and his Gay Caballeros, was Vienna Queer Boys Choir) - Membership Fluid or full of fluid? - Marie Tamponette and others)
This is a special group of Vienna Hashers who take it upon themselves to lead the singing in the circle at certain times. At other times they seem to be singing against the rest of us! Members include Munk, Marie Tamponette, Pimpsqueak, Multiple Entry and Glo-Balls (honorary).
Vienna Queer Boys Choir (Mind the Gap and others)
A group set-up in November 2010 to compete with Gary Gay and his Gaylords.

This committee was set up at the Hash AGM on 7 November 1999 to give some responsibility to a group of Hashers to come up with good names. This should avoid the problem in the past of a Hasher reaching 25 runs without a name.
At the AGM in November 2003, the following new positions were created :-
Hash Pourers - Peter "Mind over Matter (MOM)" Herger and Alex "My Pint of View" Schifter
These are very important positions as the holders of these offices have to keep pouring and delivering the beer, so that the RA is never short of a mug of beer to give out as a down-down.
Hash Crush Holder - Horst "Slush Puppie" Hoellhumer
Crushes cans and eggs against certain unmentionable projections from Ice Queen's body.
Hash Hounds - Circle Jerk, Otto von Pissmark, Nico, Villia and Prize Pisser

Hash Piefke: Ralph "King Ralph" Weber
This Hasher is required to attempt to bring German efficiency
and orderliness (ordentlichkeit) to the Hash (good luck with that!).

Full Moon Masthead |
|
Full Moon GM - Michael "Joystick" Schifter
Full Moon GM of Vice - Glenda "Lopsided Backside" Wolstenholme
Responsible for discipline on the Full Moon Hash (yet another oxymoron!).
Full Moon "RA" - Matthew "Sex-O-Phone" Stent, supported by "R" - Dagmar "Ice Queen" Atynski and "A" - Horst "Slush Puppie" Hoellhumer
Full Moon Sex Mistress - Birgit "Root C" Loewert
At the Hash AGM on 5 November 2000, it was agreed to set up a sub-chapter of VH3 to organize a Vindobona Full Moon Hash on a regular basis. This Hash would have its own GM and RA, but share all other facilities with VH3 (e.g. Hash Beers, Hash Cash, the Mailing List, Web Site and Bank Account etc.).
The Full Moon GM is responsible for setting the dates, finding Hares and locations, and supplying all details to the VH3 On-On Sec and Webmaster for publication. The Full Moon GM and RA act as GM and RA only on the Vindobona Full Moon Hash and not on the normal VH3 Runs.
The original GM was Mr. Bob Davolino and the original RA was No Mercy Master.

Travelling Hashburgs Masthead |
|
Travelling Hashburg Kaiser - Glenn "Needleman" Sibbitt
At the AGM in November 2001, it was decided that the group which regularly travels to Hashes in nearby countries had become an official group within VH3 known as the Vienna Travelling Hashburgs. Furthermore, Needleman had become the de facto Kaiser of this group and therefore he was elected to this position. His main duties are to co-ordinate the travel of VH3 Hashers to Hashes near to Austria.
The Travelling Sex Mistresses - Eileen "Boottlegg Sister" Mulcahy-Sibbit and Adriana "Road Runner" Randall
At the AGM in November 2004, it was decided that the real representatives of the Vienna Travelling Hashburgs (who have attended more events outside Vienna than any other Hashers) needed proper recognition, so these special positions of the Travelling Sex Mistresses were created.

Blue Moon (or New Moon) Masthead |
|
On 27 November 2003, the first run of the Blue Moon Hash took place starting from the Votiv Kirche in Vienna, Austria. This is just a useful name for any Hash organized outside of the regular schedule and usually with visitors as Hares. The following officers were elected :-
New/Blue Moon GM - Peter "Matter over Mind (MOM)" Herger
New/Blue Moon RA - Don "Multiple Entry" Gautier
