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.

"MUD MUD GLORIOUS MUD" !

Mon 12th March: #1733 at The Wolborough Inn Newton Abbot with Hare Archangel.
A good turnout at our Circle where Piltdown posed his latest question, concerning the late Ken Dodd “ name three of the Diddy Men?” several names were called but rejected!
With no-one won a free pint this week! but Doris did find a Hare for the 16th April thanks to “Only-here for the- Beer".
Archangel described his trail with L/S splits, but the rest was nothing like we were going to experience.
On-On along Wolborough Street we headed the up a steadily steeper footpath to arrive at the Wolborough Church and another Check, there had already been much hopeful searching by arrivals here, leaving only one possible way open...On-On through Wolborough Barton Farm yard then out across the fields towards Abbotskerswell ...problem was the first gate hid a massive mud and slurry patch which certainly deterred some of the pack!
Into the deep shiggy we strode, where every step seemed to take you deeper down into it, almost loosing our balance at times. but stopping only risked you having your shoes sucked off!
Stumbling on to dryer equally uneven ground, there was a chance to look back to see and hear the calls from some who decided to find their own trail!
Out onto Stonemans Hill a dry lane, which lead us upwards again, before another L/S split lead us Shorts out across the high fields towards Decoy Woods, with the Longs heading to Abbotskerswell before turning towards Decoy.
Another muddy field had to be negotiated before us Shorts finally reached a less muddy track where we eventually met coming towards us.... Bluebird! leading the breakaway Hash, he showed us his muddy shoes claiming to have entered that shiggy field... but we were not convinced!
After a final run up to Wolborough Church it was soon all downhill and On-Home.
The atmosphere was very welcoming inside the Wolborough, where the landlord had provided some tasty food and good beers to help us recover from the “ordeal in the mud”.
The offenders were called forward by Mouldy starting with ….
Manopause: Who lost a shoe in the mud and then himself!
Manpig: For leading the pack astray or was it B...B...?
Neil: now officially ROXANNE for always having his fuel light on red.
Fukawe : Who came in to buy a drink! awarded his Pillock of the Year shirt
Mouldy Dick: For poor parking in the spacious car park!
Number 2: Her 250th Runs badge at last.
Forrest: The most mud covered Hasher of the evening.
Archangel: For putting us through all of that MUD.
Well done the Hare Archangel for a great evening!
On to next week our AGPU with excellent FREE FOOD at The Wellington Inn Ipplepen. Hare's Wet Johnny & Manopause

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. 🙂
