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 behaviour. 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.

#2089 WORDS by Pisswell

 The words for hash number 2089 at Trendlebere top carpark, nr Manaton. Hare Poacher, On down Kestor Inn

Who woz there? Poacher, Miss Inn, Ernie, Beeflicker, Pisswell, Judgemental, SMEllie, Piltdown man and Coldtits.
The circle: Piltdown performed GM duties.
The hash raiser asked for offers to fill October dates
The hare: Poacher gave the normal spiel of
Laid on the right, fish hooks, back checks, ha has, swimming, hang gliding, bungee jumping etc.
The trail: And we were off! Oh no, we weren’t as Coldtits arrived, putting on her running gear and leading us in a warm up routine in her new Lycra and key holding backpack. There was an uphill climb as we went up Blackhill, towards Leighon. Beeflicker was found collapsed on the ground but on examination was just asleep and waiting for others to catch up!
Ernie was taking time out from his busy work schedule and Judgemental had been back running the park run. Is that really running?
Miss Inn was galloping along after her cross country at Holewell last week. Sadly no mane attraction, who had taken a fall at the water previously and been bitten by the crocodile.
Coldtits was breaking in the Lycra and Piltdown and her both took short and headed up to the viewpoint at the top of the hill. Being an unremarkable high point, they had made a little pile of stones and Poacher was able to show off his knowledge of the area, Hound tor with the coast of Wales on the horizon and the outer Hebrides in the far distance.
We all galloped down the hill again, following the route of the Haytor heller, according to Miss Inn. Approaching the road, the longs went right and the others left to rejoin later. Pisswell screamed as a deer shot out of the undergrowth and over her head! Beef flicker still dressed from his previous military run at Coleman Fishacre, got out his rifle and fired a shot, not knowing what has disturbing the hashing crew. And that was the end.
Who shot Poach…… er?
And then Beeflicker woke up again and it was all just a dream!
On downs:
Pisswell realising that no one had been nominated to write the words, said to keep your hands on your knees if you wanted to write them. Everyone’s hands shot up, except Poacher, who put his hand on Pisswells knee! He’s obviously not dead then and I got to do the words!
Anyway, down downs were given by those with previous awards, namely Coldtits and Poacher. Poacher nominated our returnee Judgemental with a down down for lying and saying he was doing the longs. A down down to the liar, who wore a fetching blue wig (he wears white ones usually) and the Irish hat.
Next Piltdown, who had been pretending to be a young teenager by looking at his phone all night, had a down down for climbing a vertical mile uphill to the viewpoint. He had the helicopter hat and a pair of flashing glasses. Here’s to the mountaineer..
Next week: This will be the Manor Inn at Gampton with U-Bend.
On on to next week.
