A WARM WELCOME FROM TVH3

Welcome to the Teign Valley Hash House Harriers of glorious South Devon. You are guaranteed a warm welcome and a great hash experience. We are the 'Party Hash' and we run from pubs all over Torbay, Dartmoor and the Teign Valley every Monday evening at 7.15pm. Our trails are marked with flour, chalk or sawdust and take in woodland, streams, byways, bridle paths and rolling countryside. We cater for all abilities, you needn't worry about keeping up, a leisurely walk with others or a good paced run if you're fit - you choose. The run duration is anything from 30 minutes to an hour and the distance is normally between 3-6 miles depending on whether you decide to take a short or long trail. Your first run is free, so come along and give it a go! After the run hashers enjoy a drink and food in the pub. On many occasions, the pub will lay on a 'Hash Menu', food specially for hashers.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST HASH

Starts soon after 7:15 pm each Monday.
The Grandmaster will gather the hash together in a circle and welcome Virgins & Visitors to TVH3 and inform the group of pertinent news or upcoming events.
Hares will announce details or the trail, number of long and short splits and regroups.

Down-Downs - sometimes at the circle but usually in the pub after the run. Hashers and harriets (lady hashers) have a half pint and under age hashers have a soft drink or water. If you are driving, just ask the RA for water.

A Down-Down is a means of punishing, rewarding, or merely recognizing an individual for any action or behaviour. Once awarded, the downdown must be drunk without pause, otherwise the RA may take action!

Individuals may be recognized for outstanding service, or for their status as a visitor or newcomer.

Down-Downs also serve as punishment for misdemeanours real, imagined, or blatantly made up.

Such transgressions may include: wearing new shoes, pointing with a finger, or the use of real names rather than hash names.

Hash Names

The use of real names (nerd name) during an event is discouraged, and members are typically given a new "hash name," usually in deference to a particularly notorious escapade, a personality trait, or their physical appearance.

Members are named after attending the hash on several occasions or if something noteworthy occurs to prompt a naming.

Other hashers may share stories or observations about the individual, with the final name being chosen by general consensus from all suggestions put forward by the hash.

NEWCOMERS TO THE HASH
Completely new to hashing? Don't know what to expect? Worried, shy or nervous? You needn't be as all newcomers or virgins as they are known, will receive a warm welcome. When the hashers are called to make a circle - about 7:15 pm each Monday, the Grand Master will welcome all hashers and after various notices about forthcoming events etc are dealt with, he will ask if there are any visitors from other hashes or virgins present. You will be asked to come forward and be introduced to the hash. A tip to remember, don't wear new trainers as these are frowned upon by the RA (Religious Advisor) and will incur a sprinkling of flour over them. That's all there is to it and you can then step back and enjoy the run and the social get together after in the On Down (the pub). Whatever your pace, there are certain to be others who will keep you company along the trail. Walk, jog or run - it's up to you.
Hashing is all about making friends and having fun, so just turn up any Monday and have a go.

When - August Bank Holiday Monday
 
How - We circled up, much chatter. 👫 PD bringing the circle together. Announcements- 🙃 - A hare for 12th October please. Diary filling up nicely, thank you good people! 💪
🐷announced ‘A volunteer for the words? Poor 🙃 was caught talking hash business with ⚓, who is now hare for 9th November, thank you ⚓,.
🙃 wanted to claim diplomatic immunity but knew better than to protesteth too much, so Ha! Have it!
Our prolific Hare – 🐝instructed the eager crowd, drew an arrow on the ground and we were off. 🙃 the pack out the car park 😶it won’t last, quickly followed by 🐰 offspring. Before long we were heading up hill, managed a few checks, before 👕 breezed past me. 🐯,🐦and 👺 reappeared. Knackered 😤 I thought best leave this checking malarky to the youth. 🐤then shot past, the Longs, long gone.
I did manage the longs though in a breakaway all Harriet crew of 🚾, 🙃👤 & 🙊. We called ‘Petrol’ to find it was 🚗 &🐰 running side by side with head torches toward us. Tis the season of head torches now Folks!
🚾 led 🙊knowingly to the Ha Ha. 🙃 led 🙊 down a dark alley, where she got her torture out. (You had to be there)
Lovely, varied terrain, perfect weather, well marked, and swept by 🐝. No idea what happened on the Shorts or Walkers trails. But all were safely gathered in by 9pm 🚩so brownie points all round.😇
 
Down Downs 🥛🥛
It went something like this... 👫GP was relieved that 🙊was back safe and sound from her shenanigans on the Longs. 💣remained intact and enquired about the Moorland adventures for next week. Mayhem then broke out... The 🎂 hat and 🥛 went to Laszlo. An almost customer of the Abbot (and my pub) whose birthday it happened to be. A hearty rendition of the 🎶 in the wrong places followed before they left, as they were barred from the Abbot.
🙃 awarded the Guinness hat to Monica for her escapades on the Longs. This soon collapsed into a full blown naming. Arise 🙊!
🥛
Following on the same theme, it was Jo's turn. Well-deserved too! Sadly, Jo proved a bit too wily, or the group too indecisive?! So, after much pirate debate, she remains as 👤 until next time.
 
🐝got a 🥛 for his excellent trail. There was something about 🐂, AKA Casey Jones, as he arrived looking dapper in his footplate clobber. A rendition of the theme tune ensued. Somehow 🐂 avoided the 🥛and👫 PD ended up with it. Are we in 2027 now? To be fair to him, did anyone else notice that the 🥛 glasses were a bit larger than normal? Mrs Murphy also popped up but I’m not sure how?!
 
A great evening was had by all!
 
On On to - 🚾@ Cordonford Farm, Poundsgate next week.
