On-After

The on-after (also called On-On-On or Apres) is the social gathering that follows the circle. While the circle is structured, the on-after is unstructured social time.

Typical Activities

• Eating (often provided by the hare or at a nearby restaurant)
• Continued drinking
• Storytelling and rehashing the trail
• Socializing with visitors and new friends
• Planning future hashes

Location

• At the hash end location (if outdoors with refreshments)
• A nearby pub or restaurant
• The hare’s home (for smaller hashes)
• Sometimes multiple locations if the group splinters

Etiquette

• On-after attendance is optional but encouraged
• It’s the best time to talk with hashers you didn’t meet on trail
• Visitors especially should attend to meet the kennel
• Thank the hare for their effort
