NH3 Grand Masters

Rinny - 49th Grand Master 2025-2026

The AGPU was held on 24 Jun 2025 for a change at the Gates Hotel. More surprising was that the Hash cabal elected Rinny as the next GM. Despite this, it was a popular choice though many Hashers were expecting a very interesting year ahead. Sir Rinny has been known to be a bit of a loose cannon in the past which will keep her flock on its toes during the year ahead.

Loan Arranger- 48th Grand Master 2024-2025

TBA.

Squatting Squaw - 47th Grand Master 2023-2024

The AGPU was held on 5 Jul 2023 at the Gates Hotel. The Hash Purple Circle had already decided the incoming GM and when the gathering of Ex GMs was held an ambush was sprung with more candidates nominated and a demand for the Hash Dictatorship to have a Democratic vote by a show of hands. This was done and Squatting Squaw by a majority became the second Harriette to accept the mantle of GMship for Newcastle HHH. Being a Scot and a habitual merkin flasher, the year ahead looked interesting.

Juice Bigalow - 42nd Grand Master 2018-2019

The 2018 AGPU was held at the Wallsend Bowlo and was an opportunity for Hashers to celebrate kicking Vindaloo to the kerb and erecting his replacement. The pool of potential candidates was very small and damn shallow. However as cream is wont, the name Juice Bigalow floated to the top and with an almost unanimous decision the cabal of ex GMs elected Juice the new NH3 Grand Master. No longer a bridesmaid and after three years of practice we hoped he would effectively bumble his way through the coming year. As a mental health professional he had the qualifications but would he be able to control the rabble? The next 12 months would define his reign.

Vindaloo - 41st Grand Master 2017-2018

The 2017 AGPU was held at the Adamstown Bowling club and was attended by 29 stalwarts (age does seem to wearying us). The outgoing GM and his minions put on a great spread of delicious comestibles which were devoured. After a little dancing and romancing (reminiscing only) Cut Snake presented the awards with many going to FN (GM's pet?) including the coveted Hashman of the Year. The ex GMs (10 were present) then gathered in their enclave and after a quick succession of finger counting (repeated a few times as we kept getting different results) the decision was made and following to the tradition of electing a GM who wasn't present on the night to defend themselves, Vindaloo became the new main man. Juice Bigalow the Vice GM - always a bridesmaid (three times now) either let out a sigh of relief or muttered something about a coup.

Roodog - 38th Grand Master 2014-2015

The 2014 AGPU was held at the Wallsend Bowling Club on the 28th of June 2014. There was a good turnout to bid Modess adieu and in a puff of white smoke the conclave elected Roodog as the new GM. What will the year bring with a certified runner at the helm? Will he get the bag minders off their barstools and out on trail? Whatever happens the gathered throng welcomed Roodog as the 38th Grand Master.

Modess - 37th Grand Master 2013-2014

The AGPU for 2013 was held at the Mayfield West Bowling club on the 29th of June 2013 where Vampire hung up his cloak and selecting the new GM began. In the devious way these things work out, the GM elect was not present but overseas on holidays and rumoured to be spending up big using the Hash Cash. Due to this he was not present to defend himself and was elected unopposed. The gathered welcomed Modess as the 37th Grand Master. During his reign, Modess presided over a very successful 2000th run weekend held at Treachery Camp Seal Rocks. This was attended by many a Hasher from far and wide and we "all had a bloody good time"!

Vampire - 36th Grand Master 2012-2013

The AGPU was held on 26 June 2012 to celebrate the reign of Dolly becoming History and the erection of a new GM. As Dolly was busy gallivanting around the world during his tenure, Vampire duly stepped up to take his place as assistant GM and consequently he was quickly selected as the new GM for 2012-13. What will his reign of darkness bring to us all over the next 12 months. Cum along and you will see for yourself.

Dolly - 35th Grand Master 2011-2012

With the 2011 AGMPU (Annual General Meeting and Piss Up) held on 24 June 2011 the reign of Mouth came to a close. A great year was had by all under his leadership which was well supported by his clowns in waiting - Eyefull and Thistle. Needless to say due to their pitiful performances in his absence, neither of them were demoted to Grand Master. However a hard working Public Servant (is this an oxymoron?) was pulled down from the heights of obscurity to commence his Mad Scientist reign as the new Grand Master of NH3 for 2011 - congratulations and hurrah to GM Dolly! At least for the next 12 months.
