This history of our Mismanagement and how CH3 got it’s start.
The CH3 Mismanagement has been around since the 80’s.
CH3 was founded by Mike ‘Oombala’ Carr and other accountants, mainly from Clarkson Gordon (now Ernst & Young). Oombala got his Hash “training” in Jakarta, Indonesia. Their first run was on May 30, 1983; starting from The Portuguese Society of Calgary. There were 15 people at Calgary’s first run and the Hares were Mike Carr and Mike Manderson. Carr now lives in Chapala, Mexico and Manderson lives in Edinburgh, Scotland (both no longer Hash). Stuart ‘On-In’ Crichton is the only hasher left who was at the first run.
