Mon 3rd June: At The Old Church House Inn, Torbryan on a nice sunny evening, very good see several visiting Hasher's and at least 4 virgin Hasher's join us, these were encouraged along by “Desperate Housewife”. Fukawe’s 2mile and 5mile’ish trails were found to be somewhat understated, but the Pimms stop sounded did sound encouraging! Off we set Short towards Broadhempston , Longs back up towards Ipplepen, it soon became clear that finding the marks was going to test us all!Like the rhyme TEN LITTLE INDIANS our group of 10 were soon down to 8 after the woodland and common, as Archangel and Doris had disappeared back towards Torbryan! 2miles later after spotting the “Zebra” ! we lost Gobbler, Comes Alone. and Flip Flopin woodland. Now we were down to 5 as we searched around a m/cycle scramble course for more marks and a way out! After more bridle paths and lanes where we lost UBend! it was just “Paraprick” Ellie, Marcus and I who made it into Broadhempston and the refreshing Pimm’s stop at Fukawe’s with our grateful thanks.We all then somehow linked up again with some of our missing group, and made our way back across the fields and several stiles!! to Torbryan just before 9pmThe pub was packed with noisy Hashers all recounting their various, enjoyable evenings experiences. Then the DDs, these were awarded to …FUKAWE, for getting his car bonnet badly dented, by a herd of cows as they tried to pass him and also for his long but excellent trail with a Pimm’s stop.WINFIELD, for saying he was having difficulty getting his leg over! (a style) DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE, for being unable to deal with the locking mechanism on Teapots car. Here the DDs to Fukawe and Desperate Housewife and on Fukawe's long trail... could have sworn I saw a Zebra and finding those marks took some searching !

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.

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 behavior. 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.

WEEKLY SUBS PAYERS
It would be appreciated if those hashers that pay £1 a week when they attend rather than the £30 a year subscription could bring their one pound to the circle and pay Pisswell before the run.
It is not much fun for her to chase hashers in the pub for payment.
Many thanks for your cooperation. 🙂
