Ben Pid Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hi guys, Well I feel its that time of year again, not that we have had the weather for it but hey - its still sunny sometimes.... I am planning on sticking with tradition and organising the Bucks Cache Meet 2007 for in a months time, fairly short notice - but it can still be done. Was thinking the weekend before the Bank Holiday on Sunday 19th August. In a fairly nice pub I have in mind, as ever - nothing heavy just an afternoon's cachin' and dashin'! Yay or Nay?

+ZoomLens Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yay - I'd be up for that. Quote Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 By the way, where are you going to find this 'summer' of which you speak? Quote Link to comment

+Alibags Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Oss!I drove past a town called Oss in the Netherlands while I was there at the weekend. I didn't get a photo of a signpost though Blimey! You too? I drove past it in May and am going to do so again in August on my way from Eindhoven to Njimegen. There are caches I will not have time to go and find them Quote Link to comment
+ZoomLens Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 From the lack of movement and failure to find anything in the diary - do we assume that this is now not going ahead? Quote Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'd be a tad disappointed if it didn't go ahead. I'll drop Pid an email. Quote Link to comment
+Coppers Lot Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm interested as is Catprincess. Checked Geocaching.com and can't find a meet listed. Waiting with baited breath as to result of TSK email. Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm pretty sure 2 weeks notice have to be given to publish an event. Quote Link to comment
Deceangi Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm pretty sure 2 weeks notice have to be given to publish an event. I'm afraid P&T are right the minimum period for submitting a Event is 2 weeks, Reviewers do have some discretion over this for a justifiable reason. But 5 days before a event is too close to be published Quote Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm pretty sure 2 weeks notice have to be given to publish an event. I think that is the minimum amount of time allowed. Prob looking at end of August. Hope it's not going to be the Bank Holiday weekend. Quote Link to comment
+Coppers Lot Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Shame, 19th was PERFECT for us. Quote Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 No joy, I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've been helping Pid with this, and think I've found a suitable location. I'll let Pid confirm it, but I believe the date will be September the 16th - a month from today. The Pub's not far from Amersham, so you've the beautiful Chilterns to play on Quote Link to comment

+Santaliki Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 aghhhh I might miss it - it depends on flight times but I might be on my way to Montreal. However, now I know when it is I might be able to get a flight early Sunday morning. It would be great to meet some of the local geocachers and maybe then I can use PAF to confirm whether or not I am on the right track before I go trudging off for miles! Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Pharisee - that means you! haha. Pid Sorry, mate.... That's the day I fly out to Austria Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Link to event page - Having suggested the venue and provided co-ords for it, I'd been told I might be co-host for this... It seems I wasn't helpful enough Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Would love to come, but that day, I shall mostly be in a country that DOES have a real summer ;-) Quote Link to comment

It seems I wasn't helpful enough Well, I felt you were extremly helpful Simply, but you expressed no interest in being a co-host so I assumed you wernt up for it....ah, it doesnt matter anyway, I'll add your name to it if you want - but its all done now anyway. And Pharisee, I knew you were going to Tirol - haha - that is why I said it! Quote Link to comment

In reply: ...Locationwise, I was in a nice pub the other day. Big garden, on-road parking on a quiet road... Don't know what the landlord would say, but it was here: Streetmap.co.uk- search results and this is a page about it Crown, Little Missenden, Buckinghamshire, HP7 0RD - pub details # beerintheevening.com - complete with phone number! Let me know what you think. SP So I thought of a pub that was suitable, as you asked... As you say, too late now. Quote Link to comment

+Pharisee Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Like you say, yours is a Diet Coke ;o) And chips..... don't forget the big plate of chips Quote Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Still can't make it unless you're there after 5pm! Also, 4/5 'do-able' caches in the area that I suppose I'd better check on before the day!!! Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) As it starts at 1pm, I guess it'll still be going at 5ish. Perhaps Pid can confirm that, along with the status of my chips Edited August 21, 2007 by Simply Paul Quote Link to comment
+kewfriend Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 could be tempted if fine weather and back from Scotland Quote Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 SP, No need for confirmation as it's on Saturday not Sunday as was previously suggested. Will be there at the kick off! Yay. Quote Link to comment
Ben Pid Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 SP - I'll bring along some Spuds, a peeler and some vegetable oil - if you bring along a gas stove and a plate you are in Business. Quote Link to comment
