History of Port Moresby Hash House Harriers

    POMH3 was founded by Peter Mendl and Horst Wippern with a run from the Badili Golf Club on 7th Januuary 1974. Until Run 200, there was no GM, Messrs Mendl and Wippern in true hashocratic style proclaimed themselves Godmastas and arranged for the duties to be performed by 1 or 2 Joint Masters.

    Among the list of Joint Mastas were:

    Denis Haynes
    Kev Parnell
    Paul Forsyth
    Brian Costello

    The first GM was "elected" at the 1977 AGPU. Since then, we have had:

    John "Odd Bollocks" Pollock
    Jack "Old Goat" Francis
    Derek "Derelict" Penny *
    Dave "POMMIE" Kent
    Paul "Stud" King
    Jim "Cock" Robins
    Rod "Midnight Oil" Taverner
    Rod "Warbler" Smith
    David "Outlaw" Hill
    Gordon "Honeypot" Lee
    Stuart "Dimple" McLachlan
    Rick "Figjam" Stanford
    Chris "Krinkle Kut" Smith
    Bruce "Tung 'n Gruv" Telfer
    Mick "Deep Throat" Harrison

    *Derelict introduced the Pisspot to PomH3. The first recipient was Neil "Kanza" Morris
