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.

TVH3 AWARDS NIGHT...

 ...and Run No 1629 with a great turnout for this momentous occasion! As we Circled up at the Keyberry Inn, we knew that this trail was going to be different as we stood there holding pens and charts, while PIDDLER explained “named teams of four, follow the trail at dotted checks search for the notice, fill your the answers for your sheets reference ”simple really ?? but after the first “dotted” check in Decoy Country Park, it all became clear, well at least clearer I thought ? There were 18 of these well concealed points to find along the trail which lead us up through woodland, across fields into Abbotskerswell with the hounds chasing hard to get to those checks first. Then it was the muddy shiggy rutted fields to slow us back before we finally reappeared in the Park not really knowing if what had recorded was anything like correct, as we passed our sheets back in to “teacher”!
Inside the Keyberry after an excellent (Hash donated) buffet and the Landlady's kindly donated beers all was set for proceedings to start with the Down-Downs. With my CC Hat going on to
U-BEND for confiding to me that his phone had just rung while finishing the trail on trying to answer this he managed to pour flour all over himself !
PIDDLER received his for joint enterprise with U-Bend for that trail
PORK TORPEDO for finally reaching that 250 RUNS Badge
FUKAWE for hanging about in a muddy car at that well known meeting spot on Haldon last week.
Although not the next item I can reveal that PIDDLERS marking of our trail sheets gave the top prize to team SHRIVEL! Scoring top correct answers followed by most others, before our WARRIORS team were named and told we “must try harder” !!
Well done PIDDLER and U-BEND for an excellent trail with a big difference.
