I have no problem wuth democracy as long as I keep 50% voting share! Mind you this is scary TWENTY-SIX million people voted in the 2001 UK General Election. More than 32 million votes were cast in the first series of Pop Idol. Bob

Did someone say beer Then I'll be there Bob

Further to John's note about seasider here is the type of beer the pub keeps (sorry April's list is not there yet! http://www.thegoldengrove.co.uk/casksvines_111736.html

Meet has now been approved aagh http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...89-e9bc792f0d59 Thanks

The man in the Pub he says yes!! So watch out for the listing

As a fairly recent convert to this obsession called geo-caching, I enjoyed the opportunity to meet and cache with people on Saturday at the Thatch and Thistle meet. I found it funny however to be meeting with people from a hundred miles away and not to have got to know any cachers from my immediate location. I did wonder whether the best way was to organise a low-key midweek evening event in Chester, but after discussion with Mancunian Pyrocacher, he suggested that I ought to try and organise a Weekend afternoon event, because I was then guaranteed a few would turn up. I wouldn't then be Billy Sad-Pants, clutching three Macdonald's toys with metal tags attached crying into my beer. So why the post? Well I thought I'd better check other opinions before approaching the Pub. I am looking at a Country Pub between Chester and Wrexham with good food and children friendly (Dogs not allowed in the Pub - Sorry) and am thinking St George's Day (23rd April) 12:30 onwards If a few are interested I'll get hold of the landlord this week and hopefully set it up As I have only ever been to one event any hints as to pitfalls, problems etc. would be welcomed. Also if people think I should get my face better known before attempting this please feel free to put me off!!

Thanks for our first meet - next time we'll try and get there earlier (Note to self - avoid P & T Series of caches if you want to eat before 2:00) Rgds Bob of "Jan and the Percey Boys"

thaks for your responses - will hopefully see you all there Bob

I am one of the "Jan and the Percey Boys caching team - the bearded one! (See profile) I am interested at some point in attending a geocaching event such as the one at Blackrod at the end of the month, but as a newbie I do not wish to make glaring mistakes !) How do you identify yourself (GPS in your buttonhole?) 2) How many TB's do I need to bring 3) What happens at such an event Thanks for your help in this Bob

Thanks guys, Thought I was going daft - checked the coords several times - thought I'd eaten too many cookies Bob

Can someone explain what I have done wrong. I put in the co-ordinates of a place in Chester England (N 53° 11.553 W 002° 53.364) and the Machine says It is in Maryland!!! Any ideas Bob

Hi there I have put up fairly recently a cache in Chester with both a long and a short option - the short being to drive close to the offset cache - but this does not seem to have been popular
