Hashers,
This is for everyone going to Birmingham.
The plan for the weekend is:
Friday:
6:30 Run set by Bull Moon H3 from Cherry Reds, 88-92 John Bright St,
Birmingham B1 1BN
<https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cherry+Red's+Cafe+Bar/@52.4770264,-1.9033288,17z/data=!3m2!4b1!5s0x4870bc8bb6a8b983:0x775091031b50aea3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4870bc8bb6d45163:0x58d505a04a9abddd!8m2!3d52.4770264!4d-1.9011401>.
This is very close to New St Station.
7:00 - late Room booked at Cherry Reds. Food will be provided (8ish).
Stay and socialise.
Saturday:
10:00 LEAVE from Holiday Inn for run. You can bring your fancy dress
with you as you can change after the run, no need to go back to the
hotel. For those that are late, the run start is from 35 Kilbys Grove,
Handsworth Wood, Birmingham, B20 2ER, get an Uber. The run is 90% off
road (and likely to be muddy after all the rain this week), there will
be a drink stop.
1:30 lunch (provided)
2:15 leave to meet up with BMH3, hopefully at the Malt House

<https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sherborne+Wharf+Ltd/@52.4766782,-1.9190978,17z/data=!3m2!4b1!5s0x4870bcf77685038b:0x71985039e51eafcc!4m5!3m4!1s0x4870bcf6a387db29:0x6498296609d87228!8m2!3d52.4766782!4d-1.9169091>,
to get on the boat.
4:00-6:00 Enjoy a boat trip
6:00-Late pub crawling in town with BMH3, sort your own food out. Pub
advice is available if required :-)
Sunday:
10:15 Meet at Holiday Inn for 'Graffiti' tour (if you want), opportunity
to take some photos, and also get a coffee and/or beer.
12:30 CH4 run from the Post Office Vaults 84 New St, B2 4BA
<https://www.google.com/maps/place/Post+Office+Vaults/@52.4793539,-1.9041276,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4870bc8c78a47db1:0x656ac29bfbdb8aa5!8m2!3d52.4793539!4d-1.9019389>
2:15(ish) pizza turns up
2:30 keep drinking until your train departs
Things to bring:
Drinking vessel for drink stop.
Normal sized drinking vessel.
Peaky Blinders fancy dress.
A sense of humour.
You will need a bus ticket for Saturday, pay cash (correct change only)
or use a contactless card on board. Day tickets for a group of 5 can
be bought for £7, a standard day ticket is £4 (capped with the same
card), singles £2.40 (I think). So find your friends if you want to do
the group ticket, I am not assigning you a friend! It might/will be
easier to use the NX bus mTicket App for the group ticket (Android here

iPhone here <https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/nx-bus-mticket/id1151163268>)
For anyone who does not have breakfast included in the hotel and wants a
cooked one, I would suggest either the Briar Rose Wetherspoons, or Cafe
Neo 51 Edgbaston St, B5 4QL
<https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cafe+Neo./@52.4763128,-1.8969176,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4870bc885adc9b4b:0x41d39f25cc0eb64!8m2!3d52.4763128!4d-1.8947289>
(in the bull ring, open from 5am) .
What could possibly go wrong! :-)
