Petaling Hash, AKA P**K, is travelling to Portugal from May 1-3 for a joint hash with PH3.
History of P**K
Back in 2003, John McCawley and Larry Chan were missing their old hash in Malaysia, the Petaling Hash. They decided that there were enough repatriated hashers in the UK to organise a get-together. Richmond Park was the chosen venue with a local Chinese restaurant for the On On as per the Malaysian tradition. The name Petaling Hash United Kingdom was chosen with the acronym P**K.
It was decided that a few runs each summer would be arranged, all based on volunteer hares and their various locations. It became apparent that European expats were keen to host runs, so consequently there have been P**K runs in various parts of Europe, including France, the Netherlands, Austria and now Portugal.
This weekend, on May 1-3, P**K is travelling to Portugal. On Friday, May 1, at 5 p.m., the pub crawl will commence at Mio Cafe in Caminha. On Saturday, May 2, at 4 p.m., the P**K run starts at Estadio Municipal Morber, Caminha. On Sunday, May 3, at 11:30 a.m., a joint run with Porto Hash (PH3) will start at Jardins do Palacio de Cristal.
Join us for merriment and mayhem!
