TARATALA

On 19th Nov at 7am, 5 regular hashers met at Garden Reach Water Works opposite Mudiali Fisherman's Cooperative/Taratala Environment Park(straight down from Britannia factory Behala) and enjoyed breakfastat Taj Bengal.

On 25th-26th Nov we were planning an out of town Hash to Jamshedpur, to see mica mines, dam etc. The stay was to be organised at Beldi Clubbut but this will have to be postponed. As I have been travelling for the last couple of weeks to Hyderabad and Jaipur I feel I have spent atleast 3 days in the last fortnight on train /bus journeys. Another train journey on Shatabdi Express of 4 hrs is not to be envisaged right now.

We can instead go to see the birds at Santragachi lake. We will also pass the market there and we can stop and have a look at Calcutta's winter vegetables! We will take a picnic from Nahoum's so please confirm your presence. Siddiqui will be collecting sandwiches and cakes on Saturday itself. Please meet at the Taj Bengal to Car pool and convoy to the venue. Back by 9:30 or ten I imagine.

As the numbers have declined at the hashes, I invite you to bring along any family, friends and prospective hash members. We will charge Rs.100 of guests too till the end of the year to boost attendance.

3rd Dec 7:30 am meet in front of Turf View for convoy to BotanicalGardens Shibpur Entrance. Breakfast at Taj Bengal.
