Thus, in a town built on the gold mining industry, it is
only right that the original prospector is remembered by having his names plastered on streets, clubs, businesses and
now....a Hash kennel.
As our founding fathers sat in the Hannan's Club contemplating the
fate of the soon to be born Hash institution, it was pretty bloody obvious that Hannan's Hash House Harriers would be a fit
and proper name, marking the place of conception for HIV and honouring a local legend of North Boulder-Boulder.
What also endears us HIVers to Paddy Hannan are his
hard-arse prospecting travels, where he traversed the extremeluy harsh countryside with only the basics for life and work.
There is an inspration to be had there as us Hashers go out to lay
our bodies on the line for our passions in life. OK, so we do it for fun and so far nobody has died, but we've been through
some damned punishing times. just the same.
