An alternative BCRR Happy Hour for this Friday has been provided by the Houston Hash House Harriers!   Come out and play, cheer or heckle at the HHHH Kickball Challenge, and support the Eddie Rodriguez Recovery Fund. Wear your best BCRR/HARRA attire! Details provided by HARRA kickball team captain, Joe Carey--
Date:  Friday, August 9, 2013
Time:  6:30pm
Location: Grassy area off of the Picnic Loop (south side of Memorial Drive)
How this will work: Wear your attractive and functional HARRA logo shirt or running club colors/logos! If your club has 11 players, they may be able to play an inning together. If a club fields fewer than 11, players will be fielded with others. (The game has 5 innings) If there are too many HARRA players we can have a round robin tournament. 

Don’t like to kick balls? Be a HARRA athletic supporter instead!  Members of the media, deep-pocket donors, spectators, cheerleaders, designated drinkers, hecklers, etc. will all be welcome. 

Rules & Conditions:  http://www.kickball.com/files/KICKBALL_OFFICIAL_RULES_2012.pdf.
