A Message from our Grand Master & Founding Father On behalf of the organising commiee, I would like to welcome all of you to this milestone in Hashing history; Mijas Hash House Harries 30th Anniversary. As GM and founding member, it is an honour and amazing achievement to be wring this to you all, truly something well worth celebrang. I started my Hashing life in Thailand with the Paaya H3 & Paaya Dirt Road H3 a fantasc start. Aer finishing my work in Thailand and give my liver a new lease of life I moved back to Europe and my favourite country, Spain. It did not take too long to get Mijas Hash House Harriers formed as I was missing the hashing comradery. I placed an advert in the local free newspaper “Sur in English” for possible “Hashers” to join me in starng the club and once we “weeded” out the drug related interest we ended up with “El Pulpo” Ray Ward and “Rat up a Drainpipe” Brendan Murphy and, with the assistance of Guadiaro H3 (Now defunct) the Mijas Hash House Harriers was formed, known as the “Burro Hash” aer the donkey taxi service in Mijas Pueblo. Run Number 1 on May the 9th 1989 was as memorable as they come, we had about 20 hounds turning up (Thanks to Guadiaro H3) the run was set at the back of Lew Hoad’s tennis club. Due to the hot weather and to avoid dehydraon we put in a “Beer stop”, this has remained part of our tradion from that day on. The hounds awarded us with a “Great run” and copious beer down downs were given out in the circle by the vising Guadiaro RA. The On On On was at Lew Hoad`s restaurant as “El Pulpo” knew the owners!! The meal was a great success, hash songs lead by “Rat up a drain pipe” did see an emptying of the restaurant of non-hash diners, the final straw was “El Pulpo” regurgitang his dinner in the pool. “Thank you, now piss off, and don’t come back”, was the proprietor’s last words as we vacated the restaurant. Being banned from restaurants came to be a tradion in the early days due to Hash songs being on the vulgar side! Gladly nowadays most On On restaurants allow us return. Mijas H3 has kept with its family roots in Asia, with similar run markings, a good drinking circle and jovial On On Ons. We have our annual Camp out. Red dress run, Christmas runs, St Patricks day, and any other excuse to dress up and have some fun. We also have an annual charity events, this year the chosen charity is “Avoi” a children’s cancer charity in Malaga, any profits from our magazine will be going to this worthy cause. Over the 30 years there have been some fantasc GM’s & RA’s and along with a hard working mismanagement commiee and a bunch of dedicated Hounds they have kept the club going. The list is too big to menon, but a BIG well done, and HUGE “Thank you” to you all. Enjoy our celebratory hash bash, and please come back again soon. On On forever YMWGM&FF, Sir Flakey. “The small print – disclaimer and liability waiver. Hashing is an activity run by idiots for idiots.
