Greetings Hashers,

Another year has come and gone, seems to be going by faster every year.

I want to wish you all (in no particular order) a very HAPPY . . . Chalica,
Bodhi, Salgirah, Lucia, Saturnalia, Modraniht, Pancha Ganapati, Yule,
Dongzhi, Newtonmas, Kwanzaa, Koliada, Boxing Day, Hanukkah, Hogmanay, and
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

------------------------------------

A quick recap of 2025:

There were 197 multiday events on the international hash calendar. The hash
world has definitely bounced back from the Covid era. September had the
most, with 26 events scheduled. Five major continental events were very
successful:

- Inter Gulf Hash was held in Muscat, Oman
- Euro Hash was held in Tallinn, Estonia
- Pan Africa Hash was held in Accra, Ghana
- InterAmericas' Hash was held in New Orleans, LA, USA
- Pan Asia Hash was held in Taoyuan, Taiwan

Next year we have the other two major events:

- INTERHASH will be held in Indonesia
- Pan South America Hash will be held in Uruguay

There are currently 44 weekend events scheduled for 2026, check out the
calendar and make plans (if your event is missing, please let me know and I
will add it). https://gotothehash.net/hashevents.html

------------------------------------

We are Five months away now . . . If you plan to attend INTERHASH 2026 in
Indonesia, you will have the opportunity to steer the future of this
fabulous event. Kenya is bidding to host, and if INTERHASH is truly to be an
international event, it finally needs to come to AFRICA. I feel so strongly
about this, that I have joined the Organizing Committee to support and
contribute to making this a reality. So when you get the chance to vote next
year, I encourage you to vote KENYA! It's time for Interhash to go to
Africa.
