Words From a Founder

 

From the Kuala Lumpur Hash House Harriers 1500th Run Pamphlet, June 23rd 1973

The Hash House Harriers were founded in a moment of post-prandial inspiration at the Selangor
Club Chambers, about 1937/38, by the inmates, who included myself; E.J. Galvin, Malay Mail; H.M. Doig (H&C - killed in an air crash just before the Japanese War); and A.S. Gispert of Evatt & Co. Gispert was the real founder - a man of great wit and charm, who was killed only just returned from leave in Australia to rejoin the Volunteers. I am glad of this opportunity to salute his memory. He was a splendid fellow, and would be happy to know the Harriers are still going strong, and are as merry and bright as ever - or more so. Gispert was not an athlete, and stress was laid as much on the subsequent refreshment, etc., as on the pure and austere running. It was non-competitive, and abounded inslow-packs. Life was then conservative rather than competitive.

 

The name was a mock allusion to the institution that housed and fed us. Later, Torch Bennett returned from leave, andproduced order out of chaos - a bank account, balance sheet, and some system. But we prided ourselves on being rather disorganised - or the minimum organisation sufficed. The original joint maters were myself and "Horse" Thompson, stillrunning somewhere - a past-master at short-cuts and the conservation of energy.

 

Celebrations were held in various places, and the first was in what is now the Legislative Council, then the Volunteer Mess. The oratory, I recall, was much the same as now. Lew Davidson is an old member. Morris Edgar was one, but apart from Lewand John Wyatt-Smith I do not think there are any more ante-diluvians still running. Philip Wickens was also one who kept us going post-war.

 

We started up again after the War due to Torch Bennett, who discovered a Bank Balance and put in a claim for War Damageon one tin bath, and two dozen mugs, and possibly two old bags (not members). We started by a small run in reducedcircumstances round the race-course - then the horses were not much better.

 

The Emergency cramped our style but did not diminish our activities, and we were even called in for information on variousby-ways in Selangor, but our period of usefulness to MI 5 was brief, and our information probably otiose. But the hares ran into two bandits at Cheras, who were later copped.

 

An Irish Accountant, Kennedy, drew up the Rules when we had to register as a Club, and he seems to have preservedthe old traditions just as you do now.
