Hello hashers,

Just a little more rubbish for your reading pleasure. On-On

Brunei Adopts Sharia Law

This may very well be the beginning of the end of one of the oldest and most storied hash clubs. I had the pleasure of visiting Brunei last year, the hashing was awesome and the people were exceptionally friendly. They were talking about this eventuality, and many were planning to make their departure. Too bad, hashing in Brunei may very well be over.

In the Spot Light - Brunei (this is a repeat but seemed relevant due to the story above).

Brunei is a small independent country (less than 6000 square kilometers) situated on the island of Borneo, surrounded by Malaysia on three sides, and the South China Sea to the north. Although it is small, Brunei hosts several hash clubs, and is home to the fourth oldest Hash Club: Hash House Harriers Brunei.

The founder, Colin Berwick, was only present at the first three trails in 1963 before being reassigned to a new military posting. He did not return for a visit until 1999, but he did write a letter in Dec 1987, nearly 25 years after founding of the Brunei hash, that provides interesting details of how things got started. I have added a few updates and provided some supporting details within the text. It ties nicely into the accounts of the founding of both the Singapore Hash and Kuching Hash clubs, which can also be reviewed on the link below. Included in this letter is an interesting and very plausible spin on where the name Hash House Harriers comes from, since Cecil Lee made it clear that the food was generally quite good at the Royal Selangor Club, not the mundane gruel that has been attributed to the name. The boys actually ate HASH (as in all the day old food chopped up together) after their runs. Colin also appears to have coined the term H3.
