PackThe pack is the main core of runners chasing the hares. However for statistical purposes the term can be used to describe the total turn out at a run, including hares, non-runners, latecomers and anyone else who has paid their hash fees.

Pakistan Up DatedPakistan, with all its social, religious and political problems, is not the most fertile of hashing terrain, but it does have a couple of the great kennels. Islamabad H3 was started in 1977 by Peter Oakley and Ian Walls (ex Hong Kong). The diplomatic community provided vital support during these early days and in 1995 Islamabad became the first south Asian hash to reach 1000 runs. By the new century things were getting tougher in the city. The hash was now 50-50 and while all genuine hashers were welcome there was a growing feeling that some people were coming along only because beer was available. Margalla Hills opened as a second Islamabad hash in 1999 and many women run with this kennel. A few ex-pats Harriets even run in shorts, although track suits and long t-shirts was probably a better bet. Karachi H3 dates to 1980 and although it was established in April they didn’t get round to staging their first run until the following November. They are a Monday night hash. In the late eighties the two senior hashes combined to run through the Khyber Pass under the protection of the Pakistan army. Lahore H3 is a more recent kennel, being founded in November 1995 by Geoff Baldwin out of New York. They have recently switched runs from Saturday to Sundays and are getting good sized packs, seldom below 20 and sometimes as many as 60. There is a Pakistan Nash Hash. Thanks to Louise ‘Hashgran’ and Buhl Chaudry
Special Report new Pakistan can be a volatile place. In 1986 Karachi H3 hares, leaving marks on lamp posts and walls for a city run, returned to their cars to find themselves surrounded by suspicious residents. Car tyres were punctured to prevent the hares escaping and there was some manhandling before the police were called. Fortunately one of the hares could produce a diplomatic passport and the mood changed when he was able to explain the ‘sporting’ nature of the event. The following day when the pack gather at the same venue ‘the residents of the locality watched with great delight’. Source ‘Hash 87’ reprinting article in ‘Daily Jang’

The first Pan Asia Hash was staged in Singapore in 1987, under the leadership of Kevin ‘The Whip’ Parnell. The 2nd Pan Asia, held in Petaling, attracted 400 runners with contingents from New Zealand, and Australia, with Europe being represented by German and UK hashers. since then it has grown into one of hashingdom’s largest events. For example Pan Asia 2007 closed registration at 1800. A typical Pan Asia Hash includes pre and post gatherings, plus the traditional Red Sarong run.

Papua New Guinea
The west Papua New Guinea is a mountainous, mineral-rich island to the north of Australia, populated originally by the Melanesians people and colonised in the east by Germany and in the west by the Dutch. From 1962, when the Dutch colonial era ended, the western half became known as Irian Jaya. Today it is the 27th Province of Indonesia and is now known as Papua. The first hash here was based on the small island of Biak, north of the Irian Jaya mainland, where an Australian Defence Force geological and mapping survey team was working from 1976 to 1977. Never named, this Hash was short on running (a lap around the 12,000’ runway was always too far) and long on après-Hash activities, drinks at the aircraft hangar bar followed by much frivolity at a local nightspot, named - for obvious reasons -The Green Door. Today, Timika H3 flies the Hash flag in Papua. Founded on 29 August 1993 by Paddy ‘His Royal Highness’ O’Keane (ex Madrid H3, Timika Hash lays claim to being the ‘Blowpipe capital of the world’ and its members are usually associated with the giant Freeport mine site at Tembagapura in the Highlands.
The East The eastern half of the Island comprises the independent nation of Papua New Guinea, which sadly has a formidable and deserved reputation for crime, much of which is nasty in the extreme. Many of the PNG kennels have been linked with mining or agriculture projects and only last as long as the ex-pats are there. As a result PNG claims to have had more kennels fold (civil unrest can be another factor here) than any other place in the world. The original PNG kennel, Panguna H3 no longer exists, nor does Arawa H3 which was based at the Bougainville Copper Mine. Founded in 1971, Panguna H3 was largely a men’s hash during the mine construction stage, but attracted more families once production started. The hash closed in 1988 due to violent unrest, associated with a push for local autonomy. Having painted a some what bleak picture we need to add that many ex-pats, including a large ANZAC contingent, often get to love the place and Port Moresby H3 is one of the world’s great kennels. Based in the capital, the Port Moresby H3 was founded by Peter Mendl and Horst Whippen (ex Mother Hash) in 1974, with the first run taking place from the Badili Golf Club. The founders of the fledgling kennel took the title ‘Godmasters’, and would elect lesser mortals to be temporary Joint Masters. This arrangement continued until the 1977 AGPU when an official GM was elected. Today Port Moresby Hash (POM Hash) consists of a bunch of senior hash statesmen, 'firm on tradition.'
The rest of the Island Of the remaining hashes, Lae H3 was founded in 1974 (the Harriettes followed in1977) and in the early days had a reputation for wild drinking. Sinners were occasionally turned upside down and given down downs down the ‘wrong hole’. It is possible that a group of asustralians at Igam Army Barracks outside Lae had began running a paper chase followed by beer-based re-hydration in 1973 and that the Lae Hash absorbed this group at its inception. As you wander up into the Highlands, both the land and Hashing, get wilder. Goroka H3 brought hashing here in 1975 and is a small hash with a large turnover. Limbe H3 is based on the island of New Britain, and the hash is closely associated with the palm oil industry. They hash every second week. Star Mountain H3 in the western province near the Indonesian border was formed by workers at the giant Tedi mine site and runs every Monday. They have their own clubhouse at the mine site, courtesy of the mine mismanagement. |

Many hashes mark their trails in shredded paper, flour being the most common alternative, although chalk is also widely used. No system is perfect and while throwing paper around the streets is often frowned upon in litter conscious Europe, wasting food is something hashers often feel uncomfortable about in other parts of the world. In the old days Mother Hash paper was 4" squares made from cutting up the Malay Mail, but today hash paper is more likely to be computer

ParaguayAsuncion H3 is based in the capital of Paraguay (which, for the geographically illiterate, is a landlocked country in the middle of South America). There was a hash here between 1990-1997, but the present group was re-founded in July 2001. All-Nighter is the only hasher to link the original and reincarnated kennels. At first the new chapter called themselves the ASSunción Hash House Harriers but after Run 18 adopted the more geographically correct (but less Hashful) name of Asuncion H3.

Looking out of the bus he saw a group of Hong Kong hashers out running. Inspired by this madness he became a hash enthusiast, helping John Walsh and Russell Fidler to found Little Sai Wan H3 in 1979.

Ron ‘The Penguin’ Strachan, also known as Wee Ronnie, started Hashing in Jakarta on 13th January 1975 after a Hashing stint in the Middle East. He was an inveterate mis-manager on the Jakarta H3 committee, including a time as GM. In 1977 The Penguin accompanied by Jacques and Rita De Steur co-founded Jakarta Harriettes and he was Chairman when Jakarta hosted InterHash in 1982. Ron left Indonesia in 1992 having completed more than 1000 runs. He continues to return to Indonesia regularly, most recently to Pan Asia Hash Medan, 2007. Being a nostalgic Penguin, Wee Ronnie misses the special atmosphere of Indonesian Hashing so became GM of the Indonostalgia Hash which seeks to re-create that atmosphere wherever and whenever it runs, mostly in the UK and Europe. One of The Penguin’s greatest claims to fame is being the 6th of the 5 InterHash survivors. Ron registered for every event, but missed one due to family bereavement. Nobody who knows The Penguin would ever doubt Ronnie’s commitment to hashing and, like Tim ‘Magic’ Hughes he has probably never made an enemy in his life. Those half-minds possessed of an interest in The Penguin’s progress through life should refer to the hilarious series of stories created by a Scottish compatriot, Alex ‘Froggy’ Park. In these compilations of little literary value, Froggy has thinly disguised The Penguin as a thoroughly voracious, disreputable member of the Royal Deeside Constabulary, Constable McGreedy.

Perfect Ten updated
Paul ‘Perfect Ten’ Stock has the distinction of being named on his very first run by none other than Eric 'Digit' McGaw. He will always be remembered for his contribution to hashing in Kuwait, including two very successful years as GM of the Thursday Hash and the host of many a hash party. More than that, Paul was a true hash gentleman, always willing to a chat with the walkers at the back of the pack or offering some calm commonsense at a committee meeting. In 2006 ‘Stocky’ actually gave up hashing for a while, when he decided to become possibly the only man on the planet to watch every single game of the World Cup. There might have been a few lonely vigils watching Trinidad play Colombia (or whatever) but come a big England game it was open house, with most of the hash and half the ex-pat community watching the game on Paul’s giant screen. Perhaps his best mate was Insignificant and they set many a hash together, Insig driving his rather dodgy Range Rover over the desert with Perfect Ten sitting in the back - big smile on his face - as he threw handfuls of flour out of the open door. After returning to England Paul received some bad news about his health and he died in September 2009. Sadly missed by everybody who had the pleasure of meeting him. On On Perfect Ten!
What can I say? He was one of the most sincere and kindest
people I've ever met. The world will be a much sadder place
without Perfect Ten and I'll miss him big time. A very sad day.

Peru updated Lima H3 was founded in 1980-81 (although some accounts put the date as somewhat later). They completed at least ten runs, folded and then restarted in March 1996. These days they run on alternate weekends, usually in town (it can take all day to drive out of the capital). There are often informal hash gatherings in pubs during the week.
Some comments about Lima H3 There's usually 50 - 80 people who go along. It costs S/.20 on the Sat you go - no joining fee. It's somewhere different each time. This time of year it's often somewhere along the carreterra central to get out of the Lima smog. During the summer it's often along the coast/beach to the South.
I've been going to the Hash for a few months now. They're a great crowd, mainly Peruvians but always some expats. There are always walkers and runners following different routes to get to the same place (beer stop and finish). It's a way of getting out of Lima to get some sunshine on Saturdays and it only costs S/.20!

The archipelagic nation of the Philippines is not without problems, starting with crime, corruption, and coups and going on to include earthquakes and dramatic volcanic eruptions. However, this represents fertile ground for erstwhile Hashers and provides much of the excitement for being there. Hashing has not quite caught on in the Philippines as it has in Malaysia and Indonesia. As of 2006 there were ‘only’ 13 listed kennels and much of the south is a hash free zone, not surprising really given the activities of the Muslim separatists there. However – like the country itself - hashing has a reputation for being on the wild side and many people who have passed through leave with happy memories.
Main island Manila H3 in the sprawling capital, was founded by James 'Ratcatcher' Howard in 1973, the founder having earned his Hashing spurs with Jakarta H3. Manila H3 remains one of the world’s great Hash kennels. They are a ‘traditional’ hash, meaning they are a men only kennel who set off at 6.00 sharp every Monday night. South of EDSA H3 is a mixed hash meeting on Tuesdays at 6:30. Manila also has a Manila Thursday Mixed Hash which caters for families and the monthly Makati Metro Manila H3. They meet on selected Sundays with the slogan Run in the Sun! as they offer the chance to run in daylight! If you like Manila Hash, you’ll love Angeles City H3 'The Pride of the Philippines. The Envy of the World'. Angeles was founded by Bill Brooker in August 1978 and had its foundations in the fleshpots attendant to the giant American Clark Field Airbase. Runs are set by live hares with a 15-minute start and there are expected to be plenty of beer stops. Angeles Beach H3 is something of a joke as Angeles is some distance from the nearest sea. They are a men’s only hash to explore the darker side of Angeles city. ‘What happens on the Beach stays on the Beach. For discreet gentlemen (heterosexual only please) are welcome.’ The Beach became a legend during the 1990 InterHash. The town and hashing both took the closing of Clark Airbase in their stride but this was followed by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991. Although a short token hash was set the day after the eruption (three hardy souls ploughed through the still falling dust) the place was never quite the same and this even led to the closing of the legendary ‘Birds of Paradise’ Hash Bar.
Further north in the province of Luzon you find
La Union H3
and
Subic Bay H3. La Union Hash dates from 1983 and Subic Bay Hash was founded in 1993 and is to the former US Navy Base at Subic as Angeles Hash was to the former USAF base at Clark Field. It is a mixed Monday hash based in the Beachside Café and possessed of a healthy Hash fondness for the famous San Miguel beer.
Other islands The first hash to move off the main island was Puerto Galera H3 on Mindoro. The present kennel started in 1990, after an earlier abortive attempt in 1986. 17 Hashers took part in the inaugural run and the pack now averages 50 runners/walkers. In July 1997 Barry ‘Pothole’ Warnock, Peter ‘Stubbles’ Vivian and Karen ‘Mrs. Stubbles’ Vivian took hashing to Cebu (on Negros Island). Their creation, Cebu H3, is a family hash with most runs leaving from the Sandtrap Bar and restaurant (known as ‘The Chapel’ to hashers). Up Dated with thanks to Boob a Lube

Philippines Nash HashA Philippines Nash Hash has been staged – more or less - every two years since 1989. Numbers started at around 100 and gradually increased over the next couple of outings. There was a jump in attendance in 1991 when the event coincided with Chinese New Year and attracted a large Hong Kong contingent. Two years later the venue of Porta Gulatra, a noted dive resort, also attracted many overseas visitors. Manila staged the 4th Nash Hash but wisely choose an out of town venue and in 2003 Angeles City stood in for La Union at late notice. Rob ‘Malibog’ Denny and his adult supervisor Dragon Lady were ever present from 1989 through to 2001. Traditionally Nash Hash is a three day event with plenty of running out in the countryside.

Poofs, or poofta’s, are not welcome on the Hash. The original tenet was that Rule Number 1 forbade rules and Rule Number 6 forbade poofters, with no rules in between 1 and 6! (Jakarta H3).

Private partying is different to chatting up someone in the circle, which (hopefully) only occurs at mixed hashes and is really covered by the more serious offence of ‘sex in the circle’ |

Puerto RicoThink Caribbean, think Cuba, travel west along that chain of islands and at the end you get to the beautiful – even the capital has a gorgeous beach – island of Puerto Rica. Puerto Rico H3 was originally founded in March 1996 but died out (date unknown) and had to be resurrected by ‘Hugh Heifer’ on April 20, 2003. They have been running every other Saturday since. Packs are on the small size, averaging about 15 with a record of 26. A typical hash is ‘1.5 hours of differing terrain with multiple beer checks to slow the pack’. Venues vary from ‘horrible muddy shoe sucking shiggy and elephant grass to more urban runs with bar stops along the way.’ One distinguishing feature is they always use live hares. It is generally a young group ‘with an insatiable appetite for beer and partying at the on-after’. They are also a singing hash ‘in the Okinawa Style - loud and a bit obnoxious but not out of hand’. Hugh Heifer, Cock Block and Tackle top the run list with 50 plus runs each.With thanks to Hugh Heifer |
