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.

Lost in a Bog...

Mon15th #1652 from Bonehill Rocks CP for Slip on Me & Brenda's Trail and another good turnout on a great evening, with many visitors and one, very long returning Hasher SPARKIE so long that TEAPOT decided to him as a “virgin” (looking back at our our 2001 list had completed 286 by then!) On-On the along the pairs trail we ran following at first huge piles of sawdust ( very heavy to carry said Slip) which did gradually reduce in size as we headed on across Bonehill Down to Holwell Lawn, testing us out over the horse jumps and water! Then alongside Becka Brook, through bracken, along marshland bridges it was a testing run. It was all going very well ! until just after a deserted barn at Emsworthy, where we lost the trail completely, Hashers were now heading in all directions, time was starting to Slip away ! with food at the OD only available until 9pm decisions had to be made, deciding the best option now was to try to get back towards Holwell Farm as soon as poss. but ahead was that huge marshland where we tried several route getting deeper and deeper in the bog, before finally finding an almost dry pathway except for the river crossing! up and back to what must have been the short trail towards Bonehill. 8:57 I said as we reached the CP was that miles ?? asked ZOOT. Changing quickly we drove asap towards the Rugglestone, hoping there would still be food and fortunately the landlady had kept the kitchen open for us. A head count revealed that MIGMAN SATNAV and ABLE SEMEN were still not back, as the darkness closed in and we were about to send a search party out when car headlights appeared bringing them safely On Home..Down Downs for this extraordinary evening were awarded to :-
Kaylie ..BORN AGAIN SOMETHING ? for chattering on all the way around the trail.
The infamous Five WET JOHNNIE, BOBBIEBALL, SHRIVEL, WHISPERER & GRIM who followed someone-else's trail to SADDLE TOR
TEAPOT and UBEND so keen to drink, left their passengers up on the Moor ! plus a 300 RUNS Badge for UBEND.
DAMP PATCH for driving leaving his keys wallet and mobile phone on the roof of his car.
A great evening! well done to BRENDA and SLIP-on ME
On to next week to Ramshorn Down, N of Bickington, OD Star, Liverton, Hare: Bobbiball
