+PopUpPirate Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 UK Camping Event 2008 Bookmark List Just a quick notification for those that may not know of it. Have I missed any? Which are you attending? Any more "possible" events to be created by peeps? Quote Link to comment
paganfrog Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 i am fairly new and havent been able to attend any events. all the scottish events are too far away. i know that many of you think thats what makes the event worth traveling to,, but i cannot do that. i m solitary in my geocaching hobby in this house, and i have a very young child to tag along. i would like it if an event could be held in or very ear to inverness, maybe even north of inverness. i just cant travel hundreds of miles with a kid and a muggle husband, just so that i can enjoy myself for a day.

Why not host an event? I host a quarterly pub event... dead easy, all I actually do is to ring the pub and book a load of tables! If you have kids, why not do a Sunday afternoon event? you'll be suprised how easy it is to host, and how many people will travel, plus you get to meet other like minded nutters, and perhaps find someone you can go out caching with!

Huhhhh, it was a joke - check out the smilies (in my original post, not the one you quoted which seems to have missed them off) Yeah bad quoting going on lol. No sorry I understand that it was a joke, there just seems to be a lot of huff and puff about migrating to GAGB or not! I just feel that instead of making such a fuss people should either just go, or stay here and get on with it! But anywho... I digress. Will be attending the OXON Camping event next month Can't wait to see everyone Quote Link to comment

Don't be scared. Last summer I put on my first event, just a simple picnic (the sun held) with a handful of new caches placed on the day, and a modest 30 people showed up. This year I'm organising my second event (with a few others), where a not so modest 800 people look like they are turning up No matter the size of the event, as long as you've put the effort in people will appreciate it and enjoy themselves.

paganfrog Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 thanks. i defiantly will arrange an event up here in caithness then. i need to see what i can do to make it a good worthwhile day for visitors. Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 If you do a "day" event it's likely to be local cachers that come along, but if you do it in the summer, with th eoption of camping..... who knows! Quote Link to comment
paganfrog Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 thats where it would get tricky for me, having to deal with booking camping accomodation for people. i suppose i have to look into it though. i want you guys up here Quote Link to comment
