Hashing originated in 1938 in Malaysia, when a group of British colonial officers/expatriates began meeting on Monday evenings to run, in a fashion patterned after the traditional British paper chase or "hare and hounds", to rid themselves of the excesses of the previous weekend.
Grenada Hash House Harriers, the local chapter (known as kennel) of the world-wide organisation known as the Hash House Harriers. The Hash meets every Saturday afternoons, in a different part of the island. It is composed typically of between 50 to 370 runners and walkers of all ages, shapes and sizes. After an initial briefing by their leader (known as The Hash Master) they set off in the bush, shouting "ON ON". They follow a trail shredded paper which takes the “pack” through some of the most attractive parts of the island and they return a couple of hours later to consume large quantities of beer and undo all the good that this running and walking has done to them. Great way to see the island while getting some exercise. A couple of tips:
1) Don't wear new shoes otherwise you have to drink beer from them
2) Don't forget to check in otherwise you have to drink beer from the dog pan
3) Virgin Hashers (1st timers) get a certificate and beer sprayed all over them
