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.

...AND YOUR SPECIALIST SUBJECT IS?

Mon 26th September Trail #1658 at The Wellington Inn, Ipplepen for Hare WET JOHNNY'S trail
At our circle a welcome from GM PILTDOWN MAN to several visiting Hashers before we set off on WJ's trail a 7+ miler or less if you wanted, starting with a Long / Walk and Short trail split, which left WET FART very uneasy as the thought of possibly being drawn into going Long had made his knees weak! Off around the village we ran turning at Denbury Cross then at Dornafield Cross before coming back through the village and out to the roadworks on the Totnes Rd. I had felt that I would have good problem free run in me tonight, until after entering the first field my headtorch packed up leaving me to trying to find the way out until The Hash “International Rescue” arrived in the shape of WORM WOOD, who kindly with his super bright torch offered to guide me along the trail explaining several times along our way his ideas for possible on trail emergency situations, which apart from his first aid kit, included Radios, Phones, Flares (to mark locations for possible helicopter assistance) and a collapsible stretcher! This all sounded very useful to me as I had probably needed all of them at one time or other. We were now making our way up the very narrow Wrigwell Lane where there were no marks visible, this reminded of last weeks trail where a group who refused to go back ended up in Kingsteignton....but there ahead was WET JOHNNY himself! relaxing in a “Master Mind” chair, not sure about his specialist subject was but he was clutching sweets and flour! Leaving the chair behind we headed on along with DORIS and on downhill on a treacherous trail to Combe Fishacre. Then with WJ now guiding us on Short on his bike we made our way steadily back into Ipplepen, while the Long had turned there towards Totnes!
The sausage and chips, kindly supplied with our honesty pot, by very helpful landlord had nearly all gone and I was just about able to buy a drink before the DD's commenced with the first one going to WIGWAM for his chicken impression, his ruffled hair then did remind me of its comb points.
WIDE RECEIVER running fast back and forth at checks but still but “wide of the mark”!
GEORGY P ORGY should have been next for almost breaking the road works tape in a “Chariots of Fire” finishing moment but passed it on to …
WINFIELD for yet another torch failure this week!
RONNY unnamed virgin Hasher, who's birthday was celebrated in traditional Hash style.
Well done to Wet Johnny for a great evening, you can go and get that chair back now!
On to next week at the Dartmouth Inn Totnes, Hares:- Zen & SM Ellie
ON ON
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. 🙂
