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.

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.

Kingskerswell and not "the usual trail".....

Circle up for Run 1630 at the Park Inn Kingskerswell for Archangels trail where he appeared just in time and looking rather weary, after laying his trail and running the Grizzly yesterday. ( Well done also to all the other TVH 3 runners who had also completed that tough event). Good to see Peanut back with us and she did run “a little”. The only announcement was from Rambo! “Forrest said that he could not make it tonight”....this was also confirmed by Forrest himself at the circle! For after deciding that he needed food came along after all. Off we set on what Mellon Picker had thought would be the usual trail, but after we crossed the now very quiet Newton Road and headed on uphill on the Short past the Sloop Inn, looking for marks which were a bit scarce, it was obviously going to be a be very hilly and little different tonight. I was glad that with my knee recovering I had chosen the Short. We gasped on and on up hill onto stony tracks up and up over into Coffinswell, where some kind person had parked their car over the arrow which led Mouldy and I to go searching on towards Torquay before returning to catch up with the short again. There was more climbing upwards over fields before another lane where someone had decided the footpath right was the way, but after a fruitless search right up to the St Marychurch Rd, it was on back to the lane. Then off road around a ploughed field, before a long winding descent where pacing me downhill was a fit Mouldy Dick. Back now to that quiet Newton Road before finding another off road patch just before reaching the Park Inn Quite where the Long went I don't know and neither did Shrivel Dick except that it was a very long run! The Park landlord Alan had provided some good food for a donation to the Honesty Pot and the beers were excellent. Down Down awards time and this weeks selected receivers were:-
MANPIG for spoiling ARCHANGELS chance of a Grizzly PB by plying with beers on Saturday.
SLIP on ME :-another DD!...for drinking so much last week she forgot her Jumper.
MIG MAN :- for volunteering for that FIRE WALK on Friday ( he has £100 raised so far)
ANDY :- The landlord had to have one for all those extra fried eggs he produced.
ARCHANGEL:- A Birthday DD we never did find out which ? But well done to him for a great evening.
On On to next week its my Trail from the Smugglers Inn Holcombe, Dawlish. Hope all those FIRE WALKERS with burnt feet will enjoy the run  Winfield

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. 🙂
