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.

RABBITS,RUDDERS and UDDERS

        Hash No 1745  Monday 4th June
          The Jolly Sailor   East Ogwell
      Hares Zoot & Hotlips & Scribe SMEllie
On a very warm summers evening 35+ very orange hashers and 6 pups gathered in the car park of the Jolly Sailor. I’m not sure if it was an after effect of Soapy and Melon Pickers Mexican Night? I hear that everyone had a great time
The answer to the circle question was only known to the two hashers it involved but we’re very pleased they’re here. It’s Piltdown Man and Georgie P’s 10th Hashing Anniversary with Teign Valley! Coldtitz just made it before the off again, she is a busy lady.
With news that the short was 4.5 miles I optimistically opted for the long. Doris had a dilemma and after much deliberation probably did her own thing. Hit by the hill start away that was the last I saw of the FRB’s. Hey ho!
There were many challenges on trail -the first being opening the blooming gates. With nettles and barbed wire around the handle we really should have taken the hint! We then arrived at a field with some snorty bulls guarding the exit gate. Worried they may charge at us U bend bravely went first. Or rather I opted to hide behind him. Anyhow more hashers arrived and the cows got a bit frisky
(I thought they were all boys together but maybe they’re not fussy?) Thankfully Arfanar aided by Wigwam soon put a stop to their funny business, shooed them away and the trail continued.
Us steady longs continued to Denbury where it become apparent we were off trail. I did feel sorry for Ubend who lost with SMEllie and Blue Bird was between a rock and a hard place. Archangel wisely did not follow us. After asking for directions from a native we back tracked and eventually broke in to the prison grounds where Blue Bird informed me I could improve my running efficiency by 10% if I turn my left foot the right way. Is this why I keep going around in circles?
Other news from the shorts – Zoot was getting puffy with flour, sprinkling it like fairy dust and Shit Faced was heard telling Here for the Beer to get a move on as he’s not driving and wants many ales tonight. Bit of role reversal there!
Meanwhile back at the pub – The buffet looked like a good spread but true to hashing gannet form was consumed at lightning speed so I didn’t even get a chip!
Wide Receiver did the Down Downs. Hunk of Beef awarded Forrest Stump one for mistaking the Moose hat for a bacon roll?! He definitely needs to go to Spec Savers.
Things got more confused after that Blue Bird declared ‘I’m an idiot and I can’t be held accountable!’ Nuff said. Man Pig was awarded a new Hawaiian shirt as Maxine washed the Pillock original. Then I unfortunately learnt a new term and had to witness a demonstration. I didn’t get the relevance initially but Erection was a willing participant and it seems a Dutch Rudder is sort of a Menage a moi but with an accomplice. Moving swiftly on there was a naming. After many a rabbit themed suggestion (none of them complimentary) Laura is AKA as T.Humper. Great name!
News Flash there will be a beer trail on Saturday 7th July. Newton Abbot to Exmouth. Perfect!
Thanks to the Hares Zoot and Hotlips for a great trail.
I’m off next week with 15 other Teign Valley Hashers who will be taking the revelries to Poland.
A great evening, well done the the Hares
Na Na (On On in Polish) next week to The Park Inn Kingskerswell TQ12 5BQ

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. 🙂
