| Introduction | Malacca Hash House Harriers was established on 13-5-1975, and is the oldest existing hash club in Melaka. It is also the mother hash of all the other hash chapters in Melaka. According to the record traced by the mother hash of Kuala Lumpur, the earliest hash club called Springgit Harriers was established in 1935 in Malacca. The club had all the Hash rules and was operated weekly. Hash forefather A.S.('G') Gispert was posted to Malacca in 1937 and joined the club, and some months later, 'Torch' Bennett visited him and came as a guest on a few runs. After the war, the first official chapter HHH was established in August 1946 as KLHHH, and strangely, it took another 16 years for the second HHH chapter to be founded, in Singapore in 1962, followed by Kuching in 1963, Brunei, Kota Kinabalu, and Ipoh in 1964, Penang and Melaka in 1965. The hash house harriers, though disorganised and mismanaged as they are, multiply and spread like wild fire and today there are about 1500 to 2000 such organizations all over the world. Springgit Harriers and so the others disappeared and the next first in line to continue the hashing is now the Malacca Hash House Harriers. |
