1 March 1983
Run 26
First BMH3 boat run. The run was as the ever popular area known as Prapadaeng, but instead of making use of the facilities at the Sanitary Section the runners drove halfway to Samut Prakan and got a ferry across the river from Baan Bang Kasop. The hare was Richard Edmunds.
This was also BMH3’s first (and only?) run on a Tuesday.
19 March 1983
Run 49
First record of a Harriette running. Four unnamed Harriettes joined this run.
3 April 1984
Run 50
Due to the impatience of the Hares – Bob ‘Bullet’ Boulter and Blaise, BMH3 becomes a weekly event instead of fortnightly.
The first weekly run was set just over the other side of Taksin Bridge, from the slip road on the left back to Charoen Nakorn Road. Yes, it was possible to set runs there then.
15 May 1984
Run 56
The first lady new boot – Wichanee ‘Imelda’ Cherutas. The run was at Chong Nonsee (Chan Road now). The hare was Tony Lovell who worked for CP group then and the run site was in the environs of his office. Imelda was asked by Knut to join Monday as he seems to think the fairer sex would keep the Monday going (and they don’t come any fairer than Imelda).
Pe had been supplying beer to Monday then but didn't join until Imelda came on board. A few weeks later Pe and later Tim Daly joined. Rusty Proctor was the GM that year. Other non-men members were Liz Bridges , Pat Elsmie, Ruth Pagell, Benjamas Ngernwattana.11 June 1984
