Hope the 'Away Day' goes well Closing Topic, as requested. mandarin

Question answered, so I'll close this thread. mandarin

Topic closed, as requested by the OP. <mandarin closes it... quietly>

As the question posed by the OP has now been answered, I'll close this Topic. mandarin

Will posters to this thread please note that an earlier post by Pirate King has been removed. It contained a personal attack on another geocacher's approach to geocache permissions and the tone of the post was not in line with the ethos of Geocaching. mandarin

Thread unlocked. Please continue your discussions. mandarin

Topic closed, as suggested by the OP. As one topic closes, the other opens ... mandarin

Please note that this Topic will be unlocked at 00:01 on Sunday, 28th September, so that further discussion may continue. mandarin

After some further consultation , rather than let someone open a brand new thread on Sunday, Deceangi and I will un-lock the original Topic on Sunday morning to let the discussion continue. mandarin

I have just been catching up with what has happened here late yesterday evening and this morning. I am very disappointed by the behaviour of those who sent the abusive emails. I hope that whoever did so will reflect on their actions and will apologise to the recipients. I fully support Deceangi's decision to close the "Stand Alone Camping" topic, after he was informed about what had happened. However this does not mean that the debate has to be stifled completely, as it was an interesting and informative Topic where the posts in the thread had followed the Forum Guidelines. With this in mind, Deceangi and myself are requesting a "cooling off" period for this Topic of "Stand Alone Camping Events": We ask that no one starts a new thread about this matter until Sunday (28th September). Then a new thread may be started by whoever wishes to do so. This thread will remain open so that people can comment on what has happened. Thank you for your anticipated co-operation. mandarin

Strictly speaking, all Topics relating to the design, production and sale of new geocoins should be put in the Geocoins Discussions Forum. However, a couple of years ago, as more geocoins were appearing which related specifically to the UK, the UK Moderators decided to allow such geocoins to be promoted in one pinned thread at the top of this Forum. I'm happy to continue this practice and so I'll merge this Topic into the pinned one. Good luck with the coin. mandarin

The OP has been answered. I'm now closing this thread. mandarin

Please bring this thread back on Topic, i.e. Cache placed with/or without permission. If you'd like to continue discussing "Caching then and now", please start a new Topic. Thanks mandarin

Topic closed, as requested by the OP. mandarin

This Topic is about the general availabilty of the Garmin geocoins and offers of Garmin coin swaps. Some recent posts in this thread have gone off topic and moved towards personal comments aimed at specific cachers. If there are any more such posts added then the Topic will be closed. mandarin

This thread is about the specific permission requirements needed for new Sidetracked caches. Please keep on topic. Thank you. mandarin

Closing this Topic because it relates to a charity payment and therefore breaches the Forum Guidelines. mandarin

I think it's time to close this thread. Please use the following Topics for future posts: Mega Event 2009 - Bristol or Mega Events 2010 onward... If anyone needs to post further details relating to the 2008 Mega Event please email or PM me. Thanks mandarin

Thank you to all contributors to this thread. The Topic is now being closed, at the request of the OP. mandarin

Please could all posts relating to the Garmin Geocoin promotion be added to the main thread here: Garmin Geocoin promotion for the U.K. Thank you. mandarin

This topic has been closed by the Moderator, for breaching the Forum Guidelines.

I've merged currykev's Topic into this thread because the Garmin Geocoin #2 has not yet appeared and his post still refers to the Big Ben coin. When someone actually gets their hands on the second coin issued, please feel free to start a new Topic for it and I'll close this one if necessary. mandarin
