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.

DAM BUSTERS !

Our 1702 Trail on Mon 31st July from Shipley Bridge CP Brent Moor with Hares: Tiny Tanks & Woof Woof. Good Turnout for this long trip where there was a chilly wind blowing and even colder when we were up on the open Moor. Next to the CP was the remains of the 19th century Naphtha buildings where once crude oil was once produced from peat!
Piltdown welcomed two young visitors ( Soapy's granddaughters) who kindly handed around their delicious fairy cakes. Next his latest test question “when was the Avon Dam opened” correct answer from Wide Receiver 1957.
Off we set on the pairs trail which Woof-Woof said was about 4, not sure if she meant miles or hours! soon climbing up and up past ancient settlements on Zed Hill following a well marked trail, eventually up again, onto high open and now wild desolate Moorland of Bent Moor, where once long ago field systems were in production.
We did lose the trail in several places but with Wide, Fukawe, Whisperer and others all spread out on this vast open area of grassland it was soon On-On again through marshland and more remains of settlements and stone rings, trying to avoid tripping up on them as we passed over Ryders Rocks and the shiggy into Zeal Gully.
Looming into sight now across the valley was the immense Avon Dam, holding back the water in the massive reservoir. We could hear and see Teapot's and the Short down below as we scrambled over ankle twisting rocks and shiggy to the reservoir road.
Time now for a break at the Sweet Stop and quick photo, before the Longs headed on up to the Dam Ha-Ha! while the Short made a fast return run back down the valley towards Shipley Bridge.
The Oak was our O/D where the landlady was well prepared for Hash even keeping her kitchen open longer, which pleased the visitors who were now able to still get a meal!
Down Downs were awarded to these lucky! Hashers :-
Wide Receiver-Who had left his van door Wide! open.
Only here/Beer-Took a spectacular fall on the Moor
Andy-Christened S.H.I.T Face after landing flat in the Shiggy.
Woof-Woof- Congratulations on her 50Runs badge
Teapot-A celebration song for 7ty or was it an 8ty something Birthday.
Well done the Hares for a great location and well worth the drive.
On to next week at the Manor Inn, Galmpton, Hare U-Bend who said be prepared for a swim?
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. 🙂
