Nash Hashes

The original Nash (for "national") Hash was held in New Zealand in 1977, and Australian hashes soon adopted the idea. Note: There's some debate over this assertion - the British claim to have put on the first Nash Hash in 1981, with Surrey HHH as host. It could well be that the 1977 NZ event, although national in scope, did not use the word "Nash" in the title. I've heard the British side of the story. (Resource from half-mind)

In any event, Nash hashes have become a strong biennial tradition in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland, the USA, Malaysia and many other countries.
