Hello hashers,
It does not happen often, but there are currently no major hash events scheduled for the month of January 2021 as the world suffers further spread of COVID 19. There have been many different approaches that hash clubs have endured with respect to the pandemic. Many have reported no missed trails, with only minor adjustments required . . . all the way over to roller coaster stories of hash clubs around the world shutting down, returning to running trails, and now shutting down again. There is talk now of vaccines becoming available, but the long term effects to hashing, international travel, and public gatherings may likely be changed forever. Despite there being no events planned for January of 2021, there is plenty of optimism within the hash world as there are 31 currently scheduled for the rest of the year. You can review the entire calendar of hash events at http://gotothehash.net/hashevents.html
As always, I wish all hashers around the globe health and safety, and happy trails.

Time for an annual plug of http://GoToTheHash.net . . . this website offers a wide variety of Hash House Harriers information. If you are unfamiliar with my website, you are encouraged to take a look. Some of the highlights include:
Links to all the Regional (and some national) Webpages for hash club contacts around the world. This could be your gateway to finding hash clubs whenever you are planning travel. Please support these Regional Webmasters with updates to your hash clubs contact details. This will help visitors to join you on future trails. There are also links to hashing megacenters (cities where you can hash nearly everyday of the week), links to major international hash gatherings, and other HHH information. I also maintain HHH information including:
* World Hash Events Calendar, including up to three years of future events . . . http://gotothehash.net/hashevents.html
* Hash House Harriers' History, that outlines the origins of hare and hound clubs prior to the HHH, as well as the Hash House Harriers . . . http://gotothehash.net/history/hhhhistory.html
* Original articles on aspects of hashing, and various international locations . . . http://gotothehash.net/history/inthespotlight.html
* Digital Hash T-shirt Museum, with over 1700 . . . http://gotothehash.net/hashshirts.html
* Hash Music, links to bawdy songs, as well as an old copy of my songbook . . . http://gotothehash.net/hashmusic.html

OLDEST HARRIETTE: As you may recall from last month's rag, the search was on for the oldest 'active' Harriette. Several nominations were received, and 'Glamour' from the Brunei Hens takes the crown.
Rajendar ‘Glamour’ Kaur, born 9 May 1933, has been an avid hasher for over 50 years, and is the oldest active Harriette in the world of the Hash House Harriers. Her first hash was on the Brunei Men’s H3 in 1966, during a short period when women were allowed to participate. Once the number of ladies had grown, they were encouraged to start their own club (and leave the men to their own fun), and the Hen House Harriers, the first ladies hash ever, were founded on 21 Nov 1966. Glamour participated on their first trail and was the first hen to achieve 100 runs, and the second to achieve 200. Unfortunately, at one point in the 70s she moved to another town to operate a branch of the family business. Sadly missing out on the weekly fun, Glamour asked for the Hens to move their hash day to Tuesday when her shop was closed. They agreed, and Glamour was able to get back in on the fun, and the ladies hash has remained on Tuesday ever since. Glamour states “There are so many things I enjoy about the Hash such as Halloween runs, 7and7 runs, Head dress runs, Pajama runs and so on.” She has also traveled to hash events in Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Bali, Tawau, and Labuan, and has “at least 60-70 hash t-shirts in her collection. Fifty years is a long time to be a member of one hash club. She said, “Many of the ladies that participated were expats, so contact has been lost with most of them.” Although, she does keep in touch with two dear friends in the UK, who hashed with the Hen’s in the 1990s, and both have returned from time to time to visit her. Contributing to the hash, she has held positions as Grand Mistress, Egg Collector, and various other Committee positions. She still attends the Ladies Hash nearly every Tuesday, and has participated in over 1450 trails. Now at 87 years of age (and due to an old knee injury), she cannot run any longer, but is still a regular attendee to walk around and see her friends on the hash.
Runner's up include . . . an Aussie and two Canadians.
Lady None (Bernice O'Donohue), Central Coast H3, DOB 22 Sep 1933
Giggle Pussy (Dreena Duhame), Winnipeg H3, DOB 30 Jan 1936
Dame Birdie (Daphne Spindlow), Oakville H3, DOB 10 Sep 1940
----------------------------------------
Speaking of Canadians, the world's oldest "active" hasher, 'Sir Noo-Key' from the Edmonton H3, turned 92 this month on 8 Nov. Happy Birthday and On On.
Although not the oldest, one of the most active octogenarians is 'Hayase' from the Taipei H3, who recently ran a half marathon, at the age of 87 . . . and is still very active on the hash.
While we are at it, one more shout out . . . Congratulations to the Taipei H3 for recently completing their 2500th hash trail. Founded on 4 Feb 1973, by Don 'Organ' Hammond, the Taipei H3 has spawned 15 other hash clubs far and wide . . . including the Okinawa H3, San Diego H3, Agana H3, and Daytona Beach H3. I had the opportunity to run with them about 5 years ago, an awesome hash club.

CORRECTION: a minor update from last month's article on the OLDEST HHH CLUBS IN THE USA. Coming in at number 10 was actually the NEW YORK H3 founded (21 Jan 1978) by Ian Cummings of Singapore H3 (Father Hash) fame, not the NEW YORK CITY H3 that was founded in 1984.

BREAKING NEWS: Neptunus reports that the HHH museum was evicted from its current location in the Hague (Netherlands). After a bit of collaboration with Hardy Boy, a new home was located in Kuala Lumpur, and will be moving to Malaysia as soon as shipment can be arranged. Best wishes on a safe journey, for the preservations of all that hash swag.
