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.

GOING UP ON TRENDLEBERE DOWN


Hash 1754. Mon. 6th August on Trendlebere Down.
 Hare Poacher           Scribe Roxanne
38 hashers circled up at Trendlebere Down car park on a lovely summer’s evening.
As the group assembled there was much amusement at Shit-Faced’s shaven head not only the change in his appearance but also the large white patch that had now appeared on an otherwise sun tanned face & head.
Tea Pot used his newly acquired shunting horn to bring the hashers to order in a slightly more tuneful manner than in recent weeks & Grand Master Piltdown Man introduced the evening’s proceedings.
The group included a number of Forest Stump’s relatives who were on a visit to Devon & Forest’s two young nephews where ceremoniously anointed as virgin hashers.
Wigwam winning the quiz question pint of beer for knowing that Aramaic was one of the languages used in Mel Gibson’s film The Passion of the Christ.
The hare, Poacher, informed the hash that there was one long short split, a sweetie stop & that he was slightly unsure of the distance {some hashers therefore fearing they could be in for a long one}.
From the car park the hash started with a reasonably steep climb across open moorland. Relatively early into the hash Poacher included a fish hook marking meaning that the first 6 hashers had to return to the back of the hash.
Other hashers being caught later in the run by a Ha Ha, Poacher sneakily adding a direction marking after the leading group had already run past.
An enjoyable run with a number of inclines & descents across gorse & bracken covered moorland, a long descent through a tree lined narrow pathway with rock & rubble underfoot & a small amount of road running. Care also had to be taken to pass the number of cow & calves that lined the route.
Beefy & Bluebird continued to film throughout the hash & have uploaded a number of scenic views & other interesting pictures to the TVH3 Facebook page. Beefy’s Strava confirming the longs had completed 3.9 miles.
After the hash it was back to the Kestor Inn in Manaton, the pub was already quite busy & the hash group added to the lively & vibrant atmosphere.
Song Master, Pork Torpedo, was in fine voice as always & Down Downs were awarded to:
POACHER: For another great testing trail.
BLUEBIRD: Spotted "road running" up that last hill.
PILTDOWN MAN: Carefully drove off leaving his trainers behind – despite questioning the wisdom of leaving his trainers under the back of his car whilst circling up.
HORNIE: For her unusual running style & being seen "merrily, merrily dancing down the hill".
The evening ended with Cold Tits being awarded a 400 run badge & Winfield being awarded a 1100 run badge – congratulations to both.
Just a reminder that next week’s hash - Monday 13th August is now from the RED ROCK BREWERY, Bishopsteignton, TQ14 9TD. Hares Shit-Faced & Archangel.

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. 🙂
