The Hash Heritage Foundation
1. The Formation
1998 was a momentous year for the preservation of the hash heritage.
Firstly, Tim Hughes’ legacy comprising 23 boxes of heritage materials
was passed on from Bangkok HHH to The Hash House Harriers.
Both chapters quickly realized that the preservation of the hash heritage,
not to mention the rebuilding of the Hash House, was beyond the scope
of their mission as hashing clubs. The search for a suitable and
independent vehicle begun. On 11 September 1998, the Management
Committee and Hash Council of The Hash House Harriers found
the way forward. (See ‘Declaration’)
Secondly, KL98 Interhash Committee in supporting the above,
pledged to donate part of their surplus as a seed fund for the
formation of a Foundation. Encouraged by the KL98 Interhash
were invited to join as members of the proposed Foundation.
An international composition of 23 hashers responded to the invitation.
They are now the Founder Trustees of the Foundation that was
incorporated on 11 July, 2000.
