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.

Hunt the Snowball !

26th March-Hares:Piltdown Man and Georgy'P Orgy,-Scribe Winfield
Circle up for Run1735 at The Cockhaven Arms a venue where Pottsie and laid my first trail on Run No.135.
A good keen turnout in-spite of a damp evening, at our Circle GM Piltdown welcomed three maids! invited by Shitfaced and duly doused by Teapot.
GM's question the new price for a first class stamp is now 65p, how much would that cost in old money? Many amounts were called by non correct...equivalent value now £10.12
On-On on the pairs trail with 3 L/S splits and a Sweet Stop and look out for that snowball? taking the second long I found Bobbiball and myself at Flow Point where fortunately at low tide you can pick your way between the rocks and seaweed along the shore to Luxton Steps.
Next a very muddy footpath led us to the main road, where later the 3 arrow marks here took the following Pisswell and dog along the road towards Newton Abbot! With local knowledge Bobbi and I headed over to the park and on towards the woodland climb.
It was a long testing gasping trek up and up and you certainly needed torches now to find your way to the top. Here there had been a sweet stop but no longer...until Piltdown in car appeared with Broken Man offering some much needed revival.
Pisswell finally appeared having survived her ordeal along the main road, but not to be deterred when Bobbi and I took the next turning down towards Bishop she decided to press on Long up towards Haldon, this was the last we saw of until much much later when she finally made it into the pub more concerned for a drink for her dog!
After some reviving drinks and a few chips it was time for the DD Awards which were given to:-
WIGWAM for parking in the disabled bay
LAURA: one of the three new maids, for talking continuously all the way round!
FORREST did not know where he was until he hit his head on the sign post!
Georgy P'Orgy for her trail and her 300Runs badge
Piltdown for devising that excellent! Trail.
PS FALLEN WOMAN found the Snowball!
Well done the Hares for a great evening.
On to next week at Haldon Belvedere, OD Bishop Lacey confirmed with Wide Receiver

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. 🙂
