start of hash life in Budapest back in 1983

[Ferenc Domján]

Hail to Everybody Who Ever Hashed in Budapest!

Hasher "Hazukashii OnOn" is eagerly asking for historical info, as you can see it in his questionary deep below.

Hazukashi OnOn seems to be a high rank officer in the global hash hierarchy, so let's try to help him, for the sake of our own, if for nothing else.

Allegedly he is a good acquaintance of our recently elected BPH3 GM, Her Excellency Connie Bad Habit, but at least they both are from Hawaii.

ALOHA, ALOHA!/:+))

Question:

Is there anybody from the BPH3 Founding Fathers (and/or mothers) still around?

Or those who know (more than me) about the start of hash life in Budapest back in 1983, despite the (that time) ruling communist Kadar regime in Hungary?

I (Rabies) started hashing as a long term expat in Istanbul in 1990 and - short after returning to my homeland - I joined the Budapest hash first in 1992 only, thus knowing little about the previous 9 hash years in Hungary.

Who can tell more?

Maybe Silver Fox?

Or Thin Wafer?

Or Sue Hotlips?

Or Hare Today Gone Tomorrow?

Or somebody from Vindabona HHH and/or other brotherly HHH cannel(s)?

Or anybody else???

Please share your knowledge (if any) about the circumstances of the birth, thus helping Budapest HHH to become an integral part of the official Great Global Hash History.

Send your related messages first of all to

and/or to me at

respectively, if there is a way.

On-On, Rabies

Aloha, looking for historical docs or info on the founding of the Budapest H3. All I know is was founded by Bill Dickson in 1983.

[Hazukashii]

Awesome, anything you can dig up would be greatly appreciated.

 

I am the curator of the HHH Genealogy . . . and while I have all the basic for the Budapest H3, I am also writing a book on the history of the HHH and how it migrated around the world, so any bits about the early days of your hash will go in the book.

 

Also, I have almost nothing on the H8 . . . as you can see . . . https://genealogy.gotothehash.net/index.php?r=chapters/list&country=Hungary  No dates, no founder, only the name.

 

On On,

Hazukashii

The H8 was extremely short-lived. It was some sort of USofA Military H3 Kennel whose apparent open debauchery had a severe impact on their non-H3 lives. One day they were there, one day they were not. Or so the story goes...

I never ran with them, just watched it play out on the Internet, sometime after '91.

Hi Hazukashii,

Hash Genealogy?

Sounds interesting!/:+))

As far as H8 is concerned, I have never heard the name, but a most respectable senior Swiss hasher Likk'mm wrote a few lines about it:

___________ quote

The H8 was extremely short-lived. It was some sort of USofA Military H3 Kennel whose apparent open debauchery had a severe impact on their non-H3 lives. One day they were there, one day they were not.  Or so the story goes...

I never ran with them, just watched it play out on the Internet, sometime after '91.

Good luck and

Ps:

There are several genealogy versions circulating in hash circles around the globe, sometimes slightly differing from each other.

I attach here my favorite alternative.

Maybe not really authentic, but I like it most.

(So much that I have translated it to Hungarian, too.../:+))

Thanks for that, will check up with Likk’mm for more details (although I’m unsure of any US Military in Hungary).  There is a long list of hash clubs that had a short existence for one reason or another.  I’ll keep looking for info on the Budapest H3 . . . all I have is this:

 

The Budapest H3 was founded by Bill Dickson on 20 Jun 1983, with the assistance of Mike Carbine and Manfred 'Silver Fox' Hass.  He came to Hungary from Kenya, where he was running with the first iteration of the Nairobi H3.

 

There is a second listed for Hungary, what appears to be a short lived The Honorable Hot and Horny in Hungary Hash House Harriers and Hashettes (H8).  There is no other information on this club.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as the document you sent, there is a bit of inaccuracy in there.  My book on the history of the HHH will be coming out later this year and will point that all out.  In general . . . Gispert was not Aussie.  The HHH ran on Friday evenings before the war, Gispert was not around when they switched to Monday after the war.

 

If you want to see all 3000+ hash club listings, you can see it on my website at http://gotothehash.net

 

Thanks again, much appreciated,

Haz

Hi All,

The one notable event we have  recorded is that on our 100th Hash on 6 October 1984, there were 27 Budapest Hashers. This was quite soon after the start of the Hash in Budapest.

I also remember attending a Budapest Hash event and the circle was in the back garden of the Ambassador's residence or the Embassy. The Ambassador hinmself was a keen Hasher.

I was also at a similar (the same?) event - the 10th On-Oniversary 9.-11 July 1993. The British Ambassador was reportedly one of the founders on a previous tour of duty in Budapest, with a lesser title.

That was the first time I met Zorcki...what a character!
