Hello hashers,

Spring has returned to the northern hemisphere, and as you continue to make your hash vacation plans for 2015, May is going to be a busy month . . . Although PAN AFRICA hash has moved to July, there will be at least 20 major hash events in May including Nash Hashes in Cambodia, China, Germany, and Holland. There are also anniversaries, fests, and campouts coming in Slovakia, Sri Lanka, Canada, United Kingdom, and the United States. So check out the whole list below or on the website at http://gotothehash.net/hashevents.html

In the Spotlight - Perth

Perth is the capitol of Western Australia (WA), and is home to roughly 2 million people. Located on the southern part of the west coast, Perth is second only to Honolulu Hawaii for its isolated remoteness from other major population areas. As for lifestyle and entertainment, Perth is a sprawling metropolis and has a generally laid back and relaxing atmosphere, beautiful beaches, scenic vistas, and numerous outdoor activities to make it a must see location. Yes, one of those activities is hashing.

The Perth Men's H3 (a.k.a. The Original Gentleman's Hash) was the first hash club to form in Perth, which is now home to about a dozen active hash clubs. The Perth H3 is also one of the oldest hash clubs in all of Australia, founded by Geoff 'Pop' Edwards on 16 February 1970, it is fourth on the list behind the Hobart H3 and Sydney H3 founded in 1967, and the Canberra H3 in 1969. Although there are many, some of the other assorted, but notable hash clubs from Perth are the South of Perth H3 founded 4 Dec 1981, by Tom 'Snappy Tom' Davis, the Perth Harriettes founded 16 July 1978, by Wes 'Old Wares' Carter, and the crazy boys of the Hamersley H3 founded 12 Nov 1978, by Ron 'Duffy' Duffield.

Although isolated, Perth has been host to several large events such as Aussie Nash Hash 1993, the out of region PAN ASIA 1999, and most recently World Interhash 2008 (affectionately known as the "Two Hands - Two Beers" event). And if all that is not enough to put Perth on the hashing map, there are dozens more hash clubs going south from Perth in Mandurah, Bunbury, Busselton, and all the way down to the Convicts Hash in Albany. And while you are in the region, don't forget to take some time between hash runs for fishing, and relaxing on the beautiful beaches.

If you want to get out of the car for awhile, you can always spend a few days hiking a few sections of the nearly 1000Km long Bibbulmun Track, a footpath through the bush between Perth and Albany. The only drawback is, that Australia is home to a considerable number of the most deadly snakes and spiders on the planet (so plan accordingly - but 2 million people can't be wrong). So, if you are looking for a special getaway, make sure to consider the many awesome activities and sights to be seen in Perth.
