This is where your contributions will go...
Although the site continues to be used as a venue for celebratory runs, 25 years have elapsed without any real progress in building a 'new' Hash House. The current HHF Board of trustees have shelved the initial grandiose design and have adopted a more pragmatic approach to realising our initial ambitions - to build an interim facility which can later be expanded to the more elaborate facility. Sadly, a significant amount of the funds generated from Interhash '98 and from donations received from the founding and other trustees has been depleted through obligatory payment of 'Cukai Tanah / Taksiran' (Land Tax / Assesment / Rates). Full details of these are available in the ACCOUNTS section of this website.
Foundation
Several months before Interhash 1998 in Kuala Lumpur, after assessing the large
volume of Tim “Magic” Hughes' Hash Archive Materials obtained from Bangkok HHH,
the Interhash Management Committee and Hash Council (KLHHH) issued
a
Directive » that “the Hash Heritage Trust be formed as a non-profit entity.
NOTE: The Hash Council, per se, is the management committee of "Mother Hash"
"The mission of the trust would be to take care of the heritage aspects of hashing
in general for the interests of hashers worldwide and in particular to:
- Manage and develop Hash Archives
- Hold the hash exhibition for Interhash ‘98
- Play a key role in rebuilding the hash house
Hash Heritage Foundation (Yayasan Hash Heritage) was incorporated in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 11th July 2000. It is registered under the Malaysian Companies Act 1965 as a not-for-profit organisation, limited by guarantee and having no shareholders, with strict requirements in respect of annual auditing and reporting.

The Hash House is designed for the benefit of worldwide Hashers (past and present),
so that full access to its facilities will be by way of membership. It is our principal
objective to reconstruct the Hash House as a tangible symbol of the origin of the Hash
movement and as a resource for the enjoyment of Hashers worldwide.
All membership payments, along with corporate sponsorship, donations by individuals
and Hash chapters will be utilised for the reconstruction of the Hash House.
Taking up membership of the Hash House can be your way of contributing and becoming part
of the ongoing history of The Hash House Harriers
and the Hash House, the “ Home of the Hash”. Or give membership as a gift. It will make
an excellent long term gift for any hasher

HHH Beginnings
Records of Hash House Harrier activities before World War 2 do not exist.
Trail to Kuala Lumpur »
from Tim "Magic" Hughes' publication "On On! Hash House Harriers, A Golden Jubilee" very much
sets the social scene of the times as a background to the birth of the Hash House Harriers.
Further interesting information can be viewed in a short film produced in 1992 by Tony Morias
and Peter M. Jones which featured members of Wanchai H3 (Hong Kong), Petaling H3 (Malaysia)
and Kuala Lumpur H3 (Mother Hash). The late John Duncan narrates some interesting anecdotes
from the comfort of the "Long Bar" at the Royal Selangor Club.
HHH Beginnings is very much a works in progress as we package the Hash Archives for long term appreciation. If you are able to assist in this work, please use the contact page to get in touch with us
