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.

The Circle
 
A minute's silence for Rambo.
 
The Trail by Pisswell
 
Music to Rod Stewart’s “ We are sailing”. Thank you, Rod.
 
We are swimming, we are swimming,
Swimming Stops from the Forrest Inn
We are swimming in our cossies
With inflatables, we’ll jump in!
====================
Last year Rambo got a croc bite
We’re so sad he has passed on
And we miss him, what a great man
But his spirit still lives on, on.
===================
So we’re going on a croc hunt
Some of them are hard to see
Tasty sweeties laid for bait now In the rivers for you and me
They are circling, they are circling,
Longs the steep way up the hill
Last laugh on me, as they don’t see
My ha ha there, ( I need to chill)
Did you hear me, did you hear me?
======================
Poor instructions so I took the van,
To guide you to the Swimming pools there
Catch the crocs there if you can
Choice of two paths, all go onwards
Past the bridge at Huccaby
Bit fat adult, we’ll save to last now
As we’ve plenty more to see
Some of Walkers down to Week ford
Crocodiles were hard to see
Hiding in the vegetation
Cut a path back to Huccaby.
===================
Shorts went onwards, to a fork now
Choice of two swims near Dartmeet
Over bridge now and onto Woodpool
Just below where the rivers meet
Wrestling croc now, stealing sweets now
Having fun on inflatables In the murky stormy waters
Penis Soapys? Or Archangel?
===================
I was chasing, couldn’t find them
Where’s the croc at the second Pool?
In the dark now, but someone beat me In mankini, Pork Torpedo
On the way back, there was Manpig.
Along with Beefy, they’d run the walk
They had got the missing croc now
That had hidden at Week ford.
====================
Lots of people in the river
Hash disaster, day from hell
But surprising all seemed happy
All got wet or did Pisswell.
=================
On to down down, on to down downs
Load of old crocs good to see
Happy faces, beers and chips now
Last of Pisswells trilogy
Last word to Rambo…..We got the crocs now!
=============================
 
I hope my crocodile trail would have been worthy of your approval. Thank you for your wonderful inspiration. My best-laid plans went astray but it’s all about the journey and the people. You were one of the best. On on Rambo xx
 
The Down-Downs
The first order of service was to raise a glass to Rambo's memory. Shitfaced had used the word "legend" to describe Rambo, his achievements and his commitment to the hash. Never has such a word seemed so appropriate.
 
Forrest Stump gave the Hash shit shirt to Smellie for "gate crashing".
 
No more physical awards present to dish out so Pork Torpedo came up with a story about inflatable buoyancy (sex) aid abuse. The perpetrator was Arkangel.
 
Another story. this time man-Pig was alleged to have forged his own trail having seen no marks. Pork Torpedo employed the gravity trick to elucidate if this was true. Inevitably, a down-down for Man-Pig.
 
The last half had to go to the Hare, Pisswell, for another lovely run and swim - plus the chance to bag your own croc!
 
Next week
The Lord Nelson, Kingskerswell hared by Shitfaced and Cheerio Beerio.
 
On-On to next week.

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. 🙂
