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.

IT'S A NIFFTY 50 FOR HIM !

Hash 1708 on Monday18th October in Bellever Forest with Hares: Slip On Me & Pisswell. Although at first we were in the wrong CP with the Chagford Runners a short convoy led us to the actual Circle a mile away!
After his welcome Plitdown delivered the latest Question “where is Teresa May?” looking around could not spot her amongst the pack? ...(Canada said Rambo correctly)
Pisswell having marked the Trail with paper! was now hoping that is was still in place, as we headed to the first obstacle, a broken double gate tied up with so many strands of rope, this was the first challenge to overcome.
On-On and we soon adjusted to searching for heart shaped note paper with a direction message as we wound our way along on the wide stoney tracks up and down through the forestry land, then onto open heathland towards Bellever Forest.
Longs found a way in but it was the way out! as the Short coming towards us asking if we were Hashers? In the gathering dusk I tried to jump a dyke but missed...one wet foot now and a possible DD! A long uphill gasp next before turning off across the moor trying not to trip up on the boulders or fall in a hole in the dimpsey light, ahead on the hill a faint light glowed that’s where we are heading said Pisswell its PIZWELL Farm!.
After scattering the sheep and getting soggy feet we finally arrived at Pizwell, where the cider/sweet stop awaited and the family.
Getting very dark now so Shorts somehow had a lift in a sheep trailer. while the Longs headed back along the muddy and flooded trails following that paper trail, twisting and turning through peat bogs good job my light did not fail unlike Archangel and Fukawe who were nearly stranded in the middle of nowhere! before finally reaching the Clapper Bridge on the East Dart river at Postbridge.
The OD at the Village Hall was almost as hard to find as the trail in the pitch-dark but we gradually all arrived and were very thankful for a beer and some of that excellent food plus later a choice from 3 birthday cakes, all kindly provided by Slip-on-Me, Pisswell and Team.
The Hash Awards for this special evening were presented to .
ARCHANGEL- For getting lost after his torch failed!
FUKAWE - With a fading torch made a spectacular fall.
CJ – Good to see that he and dog were with us again.
THE FINAL DD to BEEFY on his 50th BIRTHDAY!
Well done the Hares for a great trail and evening.
On to next week at the The Dartmouth Inn, Totnes, Hare: Wet Johnny.

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. 🙂
