    11-11-11 Multi-Event

    in Trackables

    I think they are different enough. Similarities were inevitable considering the date and the subject matter of the coin. You were told from the outset that there were only so many combinations of red that folk were likely to use. I do not see the problem.

    Realize there are only so many reds but when a second color is the same and the plating is the same is when it makes it difficult to see the difference. I have been using the same colors and plating for 3 years now and I guess it just doesn't feel and unique and it has in the past.

     

    Lets point out that the back sides of each of those coins are very different from each other. The Denver coin did grab my interest though, due to the coloured poppy at the 12 o'clock position on the front side. I wasn't aware that we could use a colour scheme different from the paint by numbers provided by Emma and Mark. I'm learning all the time.

     

    Another point I see is the description of the Denver coin on the participants spreadsheet is 'Art only'. You can't expect others not to use the same or similar colours if they don't know what they are.

    Greetings all!!!

     

    I have decided at almost the last minute to host an Event in northeast Ohio:

    11-11-11 The Time To Remember GC352W4

     

    Since it's so late, there will be no coin for this Event.

    But, would someone who knows details about where to get the basic color scheme coins

    please send me said details (TIA!!!)??? I'd like to see if I may be able to get a few

    of those for this Event.

     

    WOW, as a newbie Event "owner" I hope to be accepted into this great group of special folks who host these Events!!! Maybe I can get some tips to be better prepared and

    to have coins made for future Multi-Events!!!

     

    Thanks everyone,

    Kelly (AKA GeoCharmer81)

     

    Hi Kelly, welcome to the group and the thread.

    This was the same situation we found ourselves in last year - hosting a 10/10/10 event but unaware of the multi-event coins.

     

    I'll give you the same great advice Mark (Avroair) gave me - subscribe to these forums!!

     

    As for getting coins for this year Geoswag will have generic ones for sale. I'm not sure if you will be able to get them before the event. Others on here may be able to answer better then I.

     

    Cheers

    What's the ruling on events that share a coin? Are they added or not? :)

     

    We will (hopefully) soon be listing our 11-11-11 event in Samoa (we'll be flying there after the event we host in Auckland). Will we be the only hosts putting on 2 events in 2 different countries? Since Auckland is the largest Pacific Islander community in the world, we think it's ok to share the Auckland coin with an event in Samoa. ;)

     

     

    I think you're good to go!! - Does this mean you will be skipping the clean up duty?? :rolleyes:

     

    No, we'll be at the Auckland one til the bitter end of the CITO, 1am, then we'll be home for a couple of hours before going to the airport and off to Samoa in the morning, to arrive there about 6 hours before our event in Apia.

     

    Needless to say the Apia event will be somewhat more low-key than our Auckland one. Trying to ignore how much we're spending on that... It's going to be a hell of a weekend! ;)

     

    Oh, and Apia, Samoa event now published - http://coord.info/GC3595P (shares the coin with the Auckland event) :)

     

    Envious, coincidentily read this article yesterday which woke me up to the logistics of two events. Good thinking, it's just the sort of thing I like to do. This year will be the last year such indulgence will be possible in Samoa.

     

    Of course, there is still Raratonga for 12/12/12.

    What is a multi-event?

    A multi-event is a group of event locations that share the same theme and geocoin (with the same icon).

    Who can host an 11-11-11 Multi-event?

    Anyone! An individual, geoaching organization or group.

     

    Are there any restrictions on where I can host my event?

    The event format is totally up to you. The only rule is that events that don't share the same color combination be more than 100 miles apart. Two events with the same color/metal combination have no distance restrictions.

     

    What if two people would like to do an event but they live within 100 miles?

    Avroair stays out of regional disputes. I would suggest the two hosts work together on the same coin or find some other solution amicably. Preference will be given to a veteran event host over new host if parties can't agree. Options such as sharing a coin, moving events further apart or dropping one event have worked in the past.

    The answer is 7. :ph34r:

     

    No..... Everyone knows the answer must always be 42. ;)

     

    True... depending on the question.

     

    What is the question again? Oh, well need to built another computer to wok that out!

     

    I thought we were the computer!

    This looks like a fun game to pass the years!! I thought about waiting until Keewee was about to rejoin the list (and save one of us some postage) but that just wouldn't be in the spirit. Looking foeard to seeing in back down under in 2015!!

    We put on an event for 10-10-10 last year (GC29A3T) in Auckland, NZ, but were too late to get in on the whole multi-event deal. This year we'd like to get in, so count us in as interested in both taking part and having coins made. Will talk to a few others around NZ to see if they are interested also in hosting events.

     

    On the coin front, I'm going to go against the grain and say we should not make it about Remebrance Day/Armistice Day, and make it just about geocaching. I don't think it would be disrespectful in the slightest. Not to mention that Remembrance/Armistice means more to some in some parts of the world, and less to others. I like the previous design with greek on one side, but love the idea of "dialling the event up to 11". Just my 2c.

     

    Cheers.

     

    We were in exactly the same position as funkymonkeyzone last year GC2E9TB and are keen to participate fully this year.

     

    Additionally we also do not think the design should be based around a poppy and Remembrance Day/Armistice Day. Poppys are sold on the streets here in New Zealand leading up to ANZAC Day (April 25) when we commemorate our fallen and the proceeds go towards welfare of our old soldiers. There are commemorations and wreaths laid on 11 Nov but they are very low key and it is not a public holiday.

     

    I don't have a preference for a design but like the time on the clock face approach...something like the eleventh hour.

     

    Cheers
