History

History of the POSH3

Hashing arrived in Trinidad and Tobago on 4th February 1984. No doubt at some future date, this momentous occasion in the history of Trinidad and Tobago will be celebrated by a public holiday annually. But for now, we make do with an Anniversary Run, which is now now called the John Rudden Memorial Run, In memory of one of POSHHH’s founders who unfortunately has passed away.

 

The main culprits responsible for bringing the Hash to T&T were Peter Frearson and Robin Foster-Brown, two drunken expats who were looking for any excuse to drink more than they already were. It was Frearson’s stated intention that the POS Hash develop in its own way, and as a result POSHHH has its own uniqueness and peculiarities.

 

So 17 years on, about a dozen of that original group that crossed the Caura River on that first hash, still run on a regular basis. The POS Hash House Harriers are still going strong and getting stronger every run.
