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.

TVH THE WORDS

 

Hash Words 16.12.2025
(to the tune of In the Bleak Mid Winter)
In the Bleak Mid Winter, just a few days ago.
A group of hardy hashers, had spent all their dough
Gathered outside the Kings Arms, in the pouring rain
‘We need hares for 2026.’ S.M.Ellie did refrain.
--------------------------
Clearly that humbuggery, was a step too far
For as while she slipped away to blow her nose
She did find...
That she was now doing the words!
___________________________________________________
So... You asked for it!
____________________________________________________
( to Oh Come All Ye Faithful)
Oh Come All Ye Faithful, Georgie P and Piltdown,
Psycho and Warm front, Roger and Fuckarewe?!
Smash and Miss Mash, Man Pig and Beefie.
----------------------------------------------
I bet I’ll forget someone,
I am bound to forget some one
I know I will forget someone. Christ the Lord!
------------------------------------------------------
Well hopped and Big End, Strap on and Ernie
Wet Jonny and Miss Inn, That must be it!
Big Thanks to Beeflicker, for a great 321 trail!
----------------------------------------
I bet I’ll forget someone,
I am bound to forget some one
I know I will forget someone. Christ the Lord!
---------------------------
Welcome to Gnasher, who hails from Cornwall,
Thank you too to Melon Picker, as tickets he did shred.
Surely that's it everybody? I’m sure you will soon tell me!
_________________________________________________________
[Meanwhile in a pub not far way...]
(to Away in a Manger)
Indoors in the Kings Arms, no running for them
Was Threesum and Basecamp, Slip On, Pocket Rocket and Able Seaman
Shredding tickets and labelling bottles, A fine and hearty spread
Thanks to them all we were merry, and very well fed.
_____________________________________________________________
(to the tune of I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing By)
I saw three FRB’s come sailing by, flying by...
I saw was three FRBs gazelling by at 8’oclock in the evening.
------------------------------------------------------
What a bloody state I’m in, Coughing and spluttering...
Oh what a bloody state I’m in, at 8 o’clock in the evening!
----------------------------------------------------------
Beer lights are a twinkling, everyone is laughing
So that’s why are all here, at 8 o’clock in the evening.
__________________________________________________________
( to the tune of Winter Wonderland)
Raining is falling... all around us,
Long and shorts... we are aboundness
No worries today, we’re on our way.
Running in the soggy, shiggy land
_____________________________________________________
[On Down ]
( Back to I saw three Ships)
I saw three hasher come in late, Wet Fart, Cold Tits and Shitfaced
They were in a more dry state, at 8.30 in the evening.
I saw three hashers have down downs, Fuckarewe, Ernie and Man Pig
Not forgetting the hare of course, at 9 o’clock in the evening.
I saw three bottles of gin I didn’t win, rum and wine and the odd tin.
But it was Beefies pie that I took. At 10 o’clock in the evening.
_________________________________________________________________________
(to the tune of Merry Christmas Everyone!)
Rain was falling, all around us
Hashers laughing having fun
Tis a day of beer and down downing...
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Pisswell’s trail next week. Live and Let Live - TQ13 7LZ- Wear your Festive finery!
ON ON! S. M.Ellie X
