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.

TVH3 The Words for 22nd May 2023

 


by Pisswell
 
Holne village hall
 
Run No.1970
 
Hare: Pisswell
 
Who was there: Soapy, Melonpicker, Horny, Teapot, Strap on, Ernie, Piltdown Man, Georgie Porgie, Smellie, Big End, Well Hopped, Roger the Dodger, Manpig, Able Seaman, Satnav, Slip on me, Shitfaced, Beefy, Pisswell, Fukarwe, U bend, Forrest, Wood lend and latecomers Archangel and Coldtits.
 
Circle:
Shitfaced welcomed hashers to the circle at the village hall in Holne, the pub being closed on Mondays. Pint and pizza and money in the pot later.
 
Hash no. 1970. What happened in 1970? I think it was to do with football because I didn’t think it was worth remembering! 
 
A welcome to returnee Forrest and to his healing (well shared on Facebook, because of its un- named and at that time un-known body part) stump. Sorry Forrest!
 
Smellie has July 31st available for a willing hare Beefy reminded us of the Staverton beer festival on Sunday 28th, which he will be participating in. A reminder from Georgie Porgie & Piltdown man of “ The grand day out” on July 15th. The hash is contributing to the cost of this and Soapy is taking names for a Greek meal at the end of the day.
 
And then over to the hare. Pisswell proceeded to confuse the entire circle so they were going around in circles! There were at least 4 trails but more could be added by the addition of either driving to Scorriton and using the hall car park there or getting a lift from Pisswell. Laid on the right. One and on (saved her some mileage and it worked well for Manpig, or did it?) and a chance to see the deer park, which the two versions of long would see but so could others if they agreed to cheating with a lift.
 
She reminded hashers that there were no rules in hashing! And dogs on leads near deer please. Walkers if not wishing to cheat, could do the longs, as we know Teapot likes to, until Scorriton, where there was a free pint if they were still there and sweeties. Then back home for walkers.
 
So all was clear as mud, hashers broke the circle and everyone set off and ignored the hare!
Pisswell then drove to and fro offering lifts in her sporty little red car! Archangel and Forrest were thrilled to see a fawn in the road from her window, and Perry was even more excited!
 
The trail:
John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads (Lyrics)
 
Almost heaven, days a beauty
Pint and Pizza, shame-not-near-a river!
Circle up there, 4 routes choice for three 2 Long runs in deer park/ ?taxi lift with me
-------------------
Country roads, take me t’Holne,
To the road past Ashburton,
No virgins there, Dartmoor mania,
Take me home, country roads
----------------------------------
All the hashers, gather 'round me I’ve confused them, “there’s no rules in hashing”!
Pretty footpaths, lead to Scorriton, Sweetie stop and pint there, milks gone off and gone!
-------------------------------
Country roads, take me t’Holne,
To the road past Ashburton,
Want a taxi? If routes too far,
To see deer in the park.
---------------------------
I hear her voice at the sweetie stop she calls me
Directing all the walkers to the start far away
Running up the road, longs get a feelin'
That they should be on home the same day, the same day!
-----------------------------------
Country road, take me t’Holne,
To the road past Ashburton,
At Chalk ford there, there’s a ha ha
Back to short, take me home.
---------------------------------
No more roads, through the deer park
To the moor at Gibbycombe
Via a small bog, no shoes lost there
Take me down, to Mitchelcombe.
-------------------------------------
Take me home, past the church
Take me home, I’m on home.
===================
 
Afterwards Pizza and beers followed by scones, jam and cream.
 
The down downs:
Horny was the only one with an award, which she awarded to the hare Pisswell, because of her persuading people to join her in her sexy red car to while away a few minutes!!
Satnav was awarded a water down down: 'Here’s to Manuel’, as an episode from Fawlty Towers arose in the kitchen as she snatched the pizzas from Forrest after realising she had promised them to someone else! Great help Satnav. IOU a pint.
 
Georgie Porgie, also a water down down, for seeing the dear sheep, or was it deer?
Manpig’s down down escapes me too. Something about losing their way at the ha ha. Please comment the reason.
 
Lost property was a green jacket, to be worn on the next hash by Manpig for identification and embarrassment!
 
On on to next week from the Highweek Inn, Newton Abbot with Able Seaman. Details to follow.

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. 🙂
