19-20 September 2026 – Eskimo’s Big Birthday celebration in Hastings

Eskimo has booked the Shear Barn holiday site Main Restaurant exclusively for the party on Saturday 19th September.

She is now asking for numbers as she needs to book food and put some money behind the bar.

Katrin(Eskimo) 70th Birthday Party

Saturday 19th September 6PM-11PM Party /Sunday 20th September 11am SH3 Run

Venue:

The Retreat Bar and Restaurant
Shear Barn Holiday Park
Barley Lane
Hastings
TN35 5DX

All Surrey Hash is invited to the party, but I need to know numbers in order to order enough food and decide how much money needs to be put behind the bar!

Food (buffet) will be provided, and when the bar tab runs out, guests will pay for their own drinks (drinks reasonably priced).

There will be live music and hopefully lots of dancing!

For hashers coming to the party, Eveready is offering a party preamble, a ‘Haunted/History of Hastings Pub crawl‘ on the Saturday afternoon (whilst Eskimo is getting ready for the party with her Icelandic friends and playing with the grandchildren).

This would start about 3pm and finish by 5pm for those who are interested.

For the party, the dress code for ladies is as always Glamorous.

It will be a weekend away with a ‘hangover run’ on Sunday 20th.

The idea will be that people camp or hire a lodge at Shear Barn or book their own accommodation in Old Hastings (taxi approx. £6 or can walk to the campsite – the party venue).

4 – 8 September 2026 – SH3 European Escape to Provence
(easy to navigate link here – who is sharing with whom)

If you intended to opt for the more luxurious facilities (duplex/studio) you  will have paid a deposit of £200 per person.  Alternatively £100 per person for the shared accommodation.  We will adjust when final payments are requested (most likely mid-July).

UPDATE FROM BIGFOOT

Extended details/costings:

Note that the ‘Mas du Chene‘ the separate and lower cost villa, that slept 8 (4 rooms) has been sold and will no longer be available.  The disparity between lower cost rooms and higher cost rooms thus increases. Bigfoot suggests that now, rather than a flat rate, people pay for what they get.  A bit more complicated for pricing, but fair, and reflecting people on a variety of budgets.

Most rooms can be switched between a double bed or two singles.  There may be plenty of single hashers attending, so they can choose a friend to share with, thus halving the cost of the room/apartment. Costs below are all set out, PER PERSON for four nights’ accommodation assuming 2 people per room.

In order to provide beer, wine and some food (bread, cheeses, pates, saucisson, fruit, some meal ingredients, etc, etc), I am also adding 20 Euros (total, not per night) to each person’s cost over the 4 days.  These basic foods and drink will be spread between one or two central diner/kitchens.  This should also cover for On On BBQ onsite.  This will also help us cover the 64 Euro tourist tax lump sum, separate from accommodation costs.  Other costs, such as eating out, are for the individual to pay.  I think 20 Euros per person for On On, and accommodation foods and drinks will be enough, but if it is not may have to ask for a further 5 or 10 Euros per person on the weekend.

So we have 3 types of accommodation cost to present.

  1. Veranda– this is the central house / diner / living room that leads on to the large terrace. Upstairs there are 4 double/twin rooms for 8 people. Total cost of this accommodation is 1500 Euros for 4 nights. This is 187.50 Euros per person + 20 Euros expenses = 207.50 Euros = £180 at 0.87 exchange. Works out at £45 per person per night. 
  2. St Cezaireand Cabris – these are both balcony apartments with 3 bedrooms each, so each sleeps 6. Total cost of this accommodation is 1040 Euros for 4 nights. This is 173.33 Euros per person + 20 Euros expenses = 193.33 Euros = £168 at 0.87 exchange. Works out at £42 per person per night.

Now the expensive duplex apartments with inclusive living room downstairs, bedroom upstairs. They include convertible double sofa-bed in the downstairs living room for an extra guest (or two), but less privacy. Also include balcony with own built-in BBQ.

  1. EzeGrasseNiceTheouleAntibesSt Tropez. Each a double or twin. Total cost of this accommodation is 740 Euros for 4 nights. This is 375 Euros per person (assuming only 2 people occupy each apartment) + 20 Euros expenses = 395 Euros = £344at 0.87 exchange. Works out at £86 per person per night.
  2. Cannes– a garden studio with a double bed (no twin option). Total cost of this accommodation is 740 Euros for 4 nights. This is 375 Euros per person (assuming only 2 people occupy each apartment) + 20 Euros expenses = 395 Euros = £344 at 0.87 exchange. Works out at £86 per person per night.

So all adds up to 32 pax, unless we start using the sofa-bed options, to increase numbers (among close friends) in the apartments.

Mee Sing and I are happy to take whatever accommodation suits to fill a gap, either a cheaper room, or a pricier double apartment. 1, 2, 3 or 4 above.
