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.

Shitfaced welcomed a record 8 virgins, not to be counted towards “groomer of the year”. He wished them good luck, whilst Pisswell dusted them and also returnee Forrest with a little flour!
We were informed that Twin Buffers had sadly passed away. Our best wishes to Squashed balls and family.
Over to the hare:
Pisswell started with a group hug and then in readyness for the evenings singing later, asked hashers to follow her in singing an adapted hash song for Twin Buffers. Zen had done a similar thing at the lunatics hash the week before.
Here’s to Twin Buffers,
She’s gone too,
She’s a hasher through and through.
She was brilliant so they say
And she’ll never be forgotten in a long long day
She’ll go on , on ,on ,on,………
The trail: W 2 1/2m
S 3 1/2m
L 5 1/2m
By kind permission of Mark Simpson
River Dart Rhapsody
Is this Ashburton?
Is this just Pisswell’s hash?
Caught in the circle, no escape from the birthday bash
Open your ears, get ready for beers, and hear
I'm just a poor hare, I need to lay the trail
But It’s far too far, way to go
I’d a plan, now you know
Tried to get a bus b’tween, doesn't really matter, to you
Hashers, I killed that plan.
Ash Art centre’s less to hire, that’s the end now, cost was dire
Plan B, trail had just begun
To start at country park at River Dart
Hashers, ooh, the barriers will rise
I’ll make a track, amidst the trees and zip lines
Carry on, thank you Mark. He said “money doesn’t matter”
It’s late, we circle then
The longs are sent off track, to waste time ‘til they come back
Goodbye, everybody, turn to the right
Gotta climb the muddy hill from the campsite. Hashers, oooh
run on virgin ground
You sometimes wish you’d never chose to be long
Instrumental
I see a little back checker for the longs
All go back, Longs go back, it’s your turn to join the rest now
River Dart, Country Park, very dark, frightening me!
Up the pathway( Up the pathway )Through the trees there, (Through the trees there,) Through the dark there, Hashers go,
Magnifico o o o o
Now onto this place there, Galant Le Bower.
It’s just some sweeties, strung up in the van there
With a wee dram in a med’cin pot!
Easy come, easy run, have you all had fun?
On on now, Go, the race had not been won (let him go)
On on now, the walkers circle slow (let her go)
On on now, the shorts and longs must go ( let me go)
Will not let you go, ( Let me go)
Will not let you go, ( Let me go o o o)
On, on, on, on, on, on, on
Oh, hashers dear, hashers dear,
Hashers dear, let them go
The RA has a down down put aside for me, and three, Beefy?
So you think you can run still, this far, why oh why?
So you run to next split now and chose shorts or die?
Oh, hashers, longs left over Green down
Just gotta run t’Holne, New bridge and - Dart outta here
Instrumental
Ooh
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Chase gate really matters, getting home safely
On down really matters
“Raucous chorus” matters to me.
Please vote for Pisswell! ( only joking) x
Outtakes:
The barriers didn’t go up!
The down downs didn’t open up! (All got sorted in the end!)
The longs did a snakey stop SS
The hare messed up the back check but luckily redirected
Cider pulled Poacher back to the start
The sweetie stop was a twinkly lovely regroup. Thank you to the 4 girls x
Forrest was seen FRBing up from the river Dart at Newbridge, covered in flour so that everyone would follow behind him!
Down downs:
Thank you so much to David, Jill, Tony, Ali and Poacher for manning the music, bar and pizzas. No wood burning van required!
First down down to Warmfront, for being shocked by what was protruding from Forrest’s pocket! Battery operated I believe now!
Second to Pyscho, nominated by Beeflicker for something, can’t remember what this time!
Third to the hare, who got three songs. Hold it in your hand Mrs Murphy, a hasher birthday song and then later a raucous one. Beeflicker dobbed her in for ringing 999 for the fire brigade in the last week, this was on the back of her down down a few weeks before at getting excited by the firemen in Newton Abbot fire station!
Cheesy Helmet came to oversea the rocket that was planted in Jill’s chocolate birthday cake.
The RA Forrest necked the last beer. (He hasn’t done it for a bit)
Thank you so much to all who came and for your help. It was great fun.Hope you enjoyed it too. Well done virgins. Hope you come again!
Next week: Poacher, and hopefully Cider in the Claycutters.

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. 🙂
