THE HASH HERITAGE FOUNDATION
“MISSION & ROLE”
Hashing as a participative sport was started in 1938 and is alive and
well as shown by the continued growth in the number of new Hash chapters
being formed throughout the world.
The Hash Heritage Foundation was proposed in 1998 and incorporated in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia in the year 2000. It is registered under the Malaysian
Companies Act 1965 as a not-for-profit organization, limited by guarantee
and having no shareholders, with strict requirements in respect of annual
auditing and reporting.
The Foundation is not a sporting club or a society. It is not a hashing club
(chapter) nor in any sense a supervisor or controller of the Hash.
The Foundation consists of about 100 volunteers, derived from the membership
of The Hash House, who offer their time and talents to serve the Hash Family
of clubs worldwide, the Fraternity of Hashers and the general public, who
are the source of future hashers.
The Hash Heritage Foundation has as its immediate objectives:
1) To rebuild The Hash House, the original home of the
Hash, to be managed by a Management Committee, to serve as a global club,
for the benefit of all hashers, active or retired, local and international,
incorporating facilities and features to satisfy the changing needs of the
Hash Fraternity.
2) To provide in the Hash House a Hash Fraternity Centre
for the exclusive use of all hashers, to meet, socialize, interact or simply
relax. Facilities will include food and beverage outlets, reading room,
games room, a wall of fame (news of notable Hash personalities) and other
similar amenities.
3) To provide in the Hash House an On-On Pavilion on the
ground floor, adjacent to good running territory and complete with
appropriate pre and post run facilities to accommodate any Hash runs and
celebrations. The On-On Pavilion may be utilized by any local or overseas
Hash chapter and for the latter, twinning arrangement with local chapter is
encouraged.
4) To enhance knowledge and understanding among hashers
and the general public of the Hash and its history through the establishment
of a Hash Archive and Museum to collect, store and display relevant
documents, records, publications, articles, materials and memorabilia, which
shed light on the origin, history and development of the Hash and the sport
of hashing.
5) To trace the history, growth and development of the
Hash organization worldwide through continuing Genealogical Research and
publication.
6) To provide information on the activities of the
Foundation and communication with the Foundation through upgrading
and enhancing of the Hash Heritage Foundation Website at http://www.thehashhouse.org.
The Hash Heritage Foundation, through the Hash House Management Committee,
seeks to provide a service to all hashers, active or retired. This will be
achieved by enhancing and enriching the sport of hashing and deepening
understanding and appreciation of its many attributes by hashers and
non-hashers alike. The Foundation will remain the guardian of the Hash
heritage.
