Hashing originated in December 1938 in Selayang Quarry, Selangor, then in the Federated Malay States (now Malaysia), when a group of British colonial officers and 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. The original members included Albert Stephen (A.S.) Ignatius "G '' Gispert, Cecil Lee, Frederick "Horse '' Thomson, Ronald "Torch '' Bennett, Eric Galvin, H.M. Doig, and John Woodrow. A.S. Gispert suggested the name "Hash House Harriers '' after the Selangor Club Annex, where several of the original hashers lived and dined, known as the "Hash House ''.
