+Matrix Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 The coin arrived today Thanks to the Cryptik Souls Crew Quote Link to comment
+JustAlan Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 A bit of a long shot, but if anybody has a spare diabetes coin, or manages to get a spare one, and would like it setting on its way in the East Midlands, then I would be happy to receive it and send it on its way; as I will not be able to get to London for the next coin release. More in hope than anticipation, JustAlan, Derby Quote Link to comment
+mollyjak Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Our coin arrived today as well Thanks to the Cryptik Souls Crew from a very happy Welsh cacher. Quote Link to comment
+Teuchters Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 A coin arrived here today in the north of Scotland. Is this the only coin up here I wonder? It would be great if it stays within Scotland if it is! What can I say but a HUGE thanks to the Cryptic Souls Crew. I'm looking for an address to send some stamps to please!? Quote Link to comment

+chizu Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) I did order one directly from Groundspeak but now CSC is sending me one I'll pass the Groundspeak one onto someone else IF I get one of course! Edited November 13, 2007 by chizu Quote Link to comment
+Tiger-Eyes Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 The postman has just delivered a coin to me Thanks Michael Quote Link to comment
Izzy and the Lizard King Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Oooh! Look what just plopped through our front door! Thanks, Michael. We would like to re-imburse the postage if you could send us your address. It must have cost you a fair bit to have sent 20 out. We will be sending it on its travels very soon, hopefully to do a tour of Shropshire/Staffordshire Izzy Quote Link to comment
+La Fifi Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Just another request ( plea! ) to be added to the list for a coin, if any spares are available. Was hoping to get there in person, but re-read and realised its an evening thing - too late to get back 'oop north' at a reasonable hour for me. Cheers. La Fifi Quote Link to comment
+G Force Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Many thanks to Cryptic Souls Crew as the coin arrived today and will soon be released up north. I appreciate the effort of getting the coins then packaging them and finally posting them all off. Quote Link to comment
+wheelybarrow Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Can we add a request for one of these coins as Mr Wheelybarrow has been a diabetic since he was a teenager. Too far for us to get to London. Quote Link to comment
+Firth of Forth Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 A coin arrived here today in the north of Scotland. Is this the only coin up here I wonder?

A big thank you to CSC who sent me his own coin to travel in the North. That was very generous!! Would have let you discover this on Saturday, Nick, but you already have one now!

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Wow, that's three for Scotland, better served than most other areas I'd say! Quote Link to comment
+Firth of Forth Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Wow, that's three for Scotland, better served than most other areas I'd say! 3 out of 20: probably about proportional to England/Scotland populations. Quote Link to comment
+Skadhi Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I will definitely be there tomorrow. I noticed they have extended the "opening time" to 2 hours - 17.00 to 19.00, (perhaps in response to last Friday's cachers??).. I would like to say a huge thanks to Lactodorum for posting this thread, as I don't think I would have heard of this event otherwise. Hope to meet some other cachers there, (and let's see how many coins they will give us!!) Quote Link to comment

+Dizzley Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 @Cryptic - I've emailed you in the hope you pick a coin up that I could have. If anyone else has a spare one please could you message me via my profile? My mum died a few years back after more than fifty years of diabetes. It's a good cause and a good message. I'm glad I have avoided it myself so far. Quote Link to comment

Thank you very much Cryptic Souls Crew for the whole effort that you went to for us all. We would like to re-imburse the postage if you could send us your address. It must have cost you a fair bit to have sent 20 out. I to would like to reimburse you for the costs, it couldn't have been cheap sending them all out? Quote Link to comment
+ac-p Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Another huge thanks from here to the Cryptik Souls Crew as I got the coin in the post this morning - cheers. This might be another one heading for Scotland too as I'm probably going up to Edinburgh next weekend and will drop it while I'm there... unless of course anyone wants me to drop it somewhere (easy to get to from the Motorway) between Liverpool and Gretna on the way.

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Posted three today, one to Ireland, one to Scotland and one to the North East. If anyone gets one in the post from Groundspeak, that already has one, may I suggest IOM, Wales and Ireland? Not sure if any have made it down to the far south west either. Mine will probably be going into a Dorset cache this weekend. Not sure which one yet though! Quote Link to comment

+Cryptik Souls Crew Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Just got home with another 30 coins, email me if you want one! A few other cachers turned up and went away with some extras so Im sure there will be more up for grabs soon. I spent a while chatting to Claire and Gemma (if you are reading this, you are both gorgeous...) who were giving the coins out, they apologised for not being able to get back for the flash mob and also said everyone involved worldwide with giving out the coins was told to only give them to people who ask, so no need to worry about loads of muggles ending up with them.
