+Mad H@ter Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Well after much talking about it over the last year or so we have finally got around to kicking off this idea. Unfortunately/fortunately it looks like a busy week for Event Caches in the S/SE, but we have chosen this date to try and accommodate a visitor from across the pond. The event GC19NVQ is being held at the Victoria Arms, New Marston, Oxford. BTW, sorry about the unimaginative name for the event, we seem to lack any imagination in the Phillimore Clan so any ideas gratefully received . Quote Link to comment

+Mad H@ter Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Don't forget 7pm tonight at the Victoria Arms, Marston, Oxford. See you there Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Sorry to say that although I've made it home from a job in Essex today, I'm soaked through and knackered so I'll not make this event. I hope to be at next month's though as I do enjoy a good Oxon meet I hope everyone has a great night and the weather doesn't dampen anyone else's spirits. Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Thanks to everyone who came along, I think a great evening was had by all, we certainly did . Rumour has it that The Hoomer have volunteered to do next months meet in the Bicester area, can't wait Edited March 13, 2008 by Phillimore Clan Quote Link to comment

+Alibags Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 *bump* Please try to avoid the same week as the next BBH Event as two midweek events in one week is a bit 'busy' Shameless Plug? Moi? Quote Link to comment
+0100101001010010 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 That's a good point, does anyone have any dates to avoid? or ones that are good? We were thinking a wednesday evening. Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Hoppers Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) That's a good point, does anyone have any dates to avoid? or ones that are good? We were thinking a wednesday evening. Any night the pub is open is a good night Valid point from Alibags about avoiding the BBH week - Bones1 is hosting that one on 14 May. You won't be able to pick a night when everyone who wants to go can, so picking a night you can make it would be your best bet The Berkshire monthly meet is always on the second Thursday of every month so if you are going for a Wednesday you won't be clashing with that. Was good to meet you last night. Liane Edited April 16, 2008 by The Cache Hoppers Quote Link to comment
+Firth of Forth Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 That's a good point, does anyone have any dates to avoid? or ones that are good? We were thinking a wednesday evening. Jack Aubrey and I are hoping to have a weekend in Oxford at the very end of May, as I have a reunion to go to (although we won't know until much closer to the time if we can manage due to extended family ill health). I realise that this event is usually a mid-week one, but just in case a weekend event is planned, Friday 30th or Saturday 31st would be ideal for us. Quote Link to comment
+0100101001010010 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Right, got a pub sorted, what night would people prefer between Tuesday and Thursday? Tues is curry night, whereas Thurs is general everything night lol. I'm thinking the 20th or the 22nd? A good week after the BBH event. Any views? Jim. Quote Link to comment

+Malpas Wanderer Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Tues is curry night, Jim. Hey be careful you don't create an agenda. Quote Link to comment
+0100101001010010 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Haha. I've been told by 01010010 that although tues is curry night, the full evening and possibly the lunchtime menus will be available! So It's looking like the tuesday! If there are no objections I shall create an event tomorrow. 01001010. Quote Link to comment
+0100101001010010 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Apologies for double post, Event listing submitted for review Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Don't forget the Oxforshire Cachers meet is next Tuesday GC1BPVF, We are still looking for a volunteer for the June meet so please don't be shy . I have been contacted by a cacher from across the pond who will be visiting South Oxfordshire (Farringdon) from 9th to 12th so it would be nice if we could get a meet organised in the south of the county (for a change) to welcome him to our green and pleasant land.

+Alibags Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The White Fart at Highfield is a nice pub round those parts commercial venture name subtley changed so as not to advertise! Quote Link to comment
+0100101001010010 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 lolol. I hope to see lots of you on Tuesday! And south of the county sounds good next month, Give bicester a rest! Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Unfortunately there were no volunteers to organise a June meet , and we have not had the chance to organise one as we've been a bit busy getting ready for our two events next weekend . So what about July’s meet, are there any volunteers willing to put their heads above the parapet and organise it ? It would be nice to move to a different part of Oxfordshire for a change, I’m sure that there must be some cachers out at Didcot / Wantage / Faringdon / Wallingford etc. Or is a monthly meet too often , should it perhaps be every two months or maybe not a regular meet at all, organised on a more random basis perhaps. Does anyone have any views on this? Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Hoppers Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Well strictly speaking I am a Berkshire cacher, but if you would like a meet around Wallingford, Didcot, Dorchester, Benson, somewhere like that, I would be happy to volunteer to organise it if no one else wants or is able to. I have spied a few suitable places on my travels. Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'll organise one in Chinnor! Quote Link to comment
