+Butterfly_lady Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Santa Mission Hi there UK! A geocoin mission is up and running - see the link above. Currently it is running with 61% US cachers. I would welcome more from "The rest of the world" Please do read it, if you are into geocoins, and let me know if you would like to join in. Regards from New Zealand! Link to comment
+SkiBums (UK) Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 We're in <bump> I've read the mission and still don't understand what you have to do......can you explain in simpleton terms for me Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I've read the mission and still don't understand what you have to do......can you explain in simpleton terms for me Exactly wot it says on the tin! "Mission Package - One unactivated (NEW) geocoin (more if you wish) to be gifted to the recipent. Packaged up to reflect the Christmas spirit. Add a little wrapping, glitter, trims to make the recipient excited to receive. Extra Christmas goodies, pins, treats will make this extra special. Kids particularily will get excited by this mission. This is like a secret Santa mission - you will be allocated someone to send a coin (packaged as below) It is up to you as to whether you let the recipient know who is sending it". Soooooooooooooooo, you gift at least one geocoin and some other Christmas goodies to the person whose name you are given, package it all up nicely and pop it into the post. You must sign up by October 23rd by stating so in the coin forum and by sending an email to the person running the mission, and your package must be posted out by early November. I have taken part in several missions, people often try very hard to make a package very special, and they are great fun to put together and to receive. Jan & the Percy Boys (Bob) ran a very successful mission earlier in the year. Take a look at last years Thanksgiving mission, particularly the later posts in the thread which show what people received. Missions are fun, but you have to be prepared to follow through Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 As explained by Dorset Gal ... Also, (I may be stating the obvious here) in return, you will end up receiving one of the mission parcels from someone else somewhere in the world. MrsB Link to comment

+keehotee Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Umm - getting ready to be shot down in flames..... are any of the coin manufacturers or distributors behind this, by any chance ?? (thinks Fathers Day, ploughmans lunch etc... all self-perpetuating marketing schemes created to boost sales..) Link to comment
mandarin Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 As the main Topic for this is over in the Geocoin Forum, this is a duplicate thread and so I'm now closing it. Anyone else interested in joining please follow the link below and sign up over there. Thanks. International Santa Mission - details in the Geocoin Forum. mandarin Link to comment
