    • RM30 per quarter (Males and ladies who drink beer)

Resignation

  • Members who wish to resign are requested to send an email to the On Sec at least two weeks prior to the date of effect. This will prevent unnecessary accumulation of outstanding debt.

Rejoining

  • Members are welcome to rejoin the club at anytime. They only need to pay the current quarter fee, provided they have not owed the club any money prior to their resignation otherwise they will be asked to pay any arrears as well as the current quarterly fee. (see above)

  • Application for the LOA must be in writing to the On Sec stating the reason and the length of absence at least two weeks prior to the desired start date of LOA for Committee approval.

Run setting

  • All members have an obligation to set a run 6 months after joining and thereafter to be rotated on the hareline.
  • The run length should be set to enable the FIRST LADY on paper to come in within 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Run directions: try to send in your GPS coordinates, run directions and On On location to the Trail Mistress and/or On Sec three weeks before the run. Please note: not everyone has a smartphone or is able to use GPS coordinates (for example Ramli!) so please send in your run directions as well.
  • All information will be uploaded on the website as provided by the Hare. Please be considerate and don't expect committee members to spend their free time searching old run directions for your run.
  • In the event that the hare is unable to set the run on the assigned date, it is the hare's responsibility to find an replacement hare and inform the Trail mistress accordingly. It is NOT the responsibility of the Trail Mistress to find a replacement hare. However, the Trail Mistress can help by providing members' contact details upon request.
  • After the run, the Hare signs everyone in. If anyone returns late or is missing, it is the responsibility of the Hare, with the assistance of the GM or Committee-in-charge to:
    - to wait at the run site for a reasonable time
    - to organise a subsequent rescue plan if necessary
    - appoint a Cohare (or another person) to coordinate the On On at the restaurant.
  • All hashers are advised to carry a torch and a mobile on the run so that they are contactable should they become lost

Overtime payment to drink provider.

  • The bar will be closed at 8:30pm to allow the Assistant On Cash and Drinks Provider to complete their administrative duties and leave the run site by 9pm.
  • If the Drinks Provider is required to remain on site after 9:00pm, an overtime payment of RM30 will be made to him.
  • Hares who wish to have an On On on site are expected to pay the drinks provider RM30 for overtime. This will be collected by the assistant On Cash to give to the Drinks Provider at the end of the event.

Late Arrivals

  • Late arrivals after the start of the run are recommended to go out on the home trail and turn back after half an hour. This is to ensure that everyone is back at the run site at a reasonable time so as not to inconvenience the hares, committee and drink provider.
  • All members and guests are solely responsible for their own health and safety.
  • All hashers are recommended to carry a torch and a mobile phone on the run so that they are contactable should they become lost.
