Welcome to Singapore Hash House Harriets History Community

Singapore Hash House Harriets [1] is a ladies' Hash House Harriers club in Singapore, formed in 1973.

The idea behind this project is to 'crowd source' the history of the Harriets. In other words, we are trying to make it simple for anyone who wants to volunteer to write sections of the Harriets history. To contribute, all you need to do is:

1. Create a login (see Create Account at top right of page). Please use your hash name as your log in so we know who is editing pages. You will also have to provide your email address.
2. Go to your email and click the link to validate your new account (until you do this you cannot edit).
3. Understand how to edit in WIKI (optional). You can read [2] to understand how to format text (if you want to). Otherwise, click edit at the top of any page and simply start typing - you don't have to worry about any formatting if you don't want to. Just type and leave an empty line to start each new paragraph.
4. Put your name and details in the Visitor Book. This is formatted as a table so is a little tricky, just type over the hints in the first unused section.
5. Click on any page and then click the edit link to start editing.
6. Save your changes (Save Page) when you are finished.

When we feel we have a good history built up, we will finalize it and put it onto the web site proper, as well as considering putting it in book form. If any of the links below are red, it means nothing has been written yet. Please jump in and start writing! Regardless, we need a lot of help to fill in the history of the Harriets, particularly from the 1980's and 1990's.

Visitor's Book

Please put your name, hash name, years you were involved with the Harriets, and any offices you held in the Visitor Book so we know who you are when you edit the wiki. Thanks.

A Note About Security

Unfortunately the world is not full of nice people and recently someone logged in and edited our pages with a link to a commercial organization. Spammers are not welcome here and the administrator will aggressively pursue any spam. We have implemented an email confirmation rule to this wiki. To edit, you must:

1. Create a logon
2. Provide a valid email address when you create your logon
3. Go to your email where you will be asked to click a link to confirm your address - this ensures that you provided a valid email address when you registered

Once confirmed you will be able to edit. This process normally takes a few minutes. Spammers will be blocked, their edits removed, and I will work hard to report them to their ISP and any organization they try to promote. So don't bother, spammers, your edits won't last long and I will make your life as hard as you made mine.
