+team tardis Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Hi sorry to sound bit dim but what happens at a event cache , we have never been to one , and would love to go to the Annual South Wales Event just wondering what to expect. thanks team tardis Quote
+The Blorenges Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) An event cache is just a get-together of geocachers for socialising. There's usually a big room where people gather and chat. Some will have brought along TBs and geocoins to exchange, or collections of personal geocoins to be enjoyed by others. There maybe a few competitions, maybe a raffle. During the day cachers will come and go, there will probably be new caches published especially for the event. Some cachers go off hunting on their own, others will team up with others who are there. Food and drink will be involved somewhere. The south Wales event is at a camp site too, so some cachers will camp and stay a few days. Most local cachers would normally try to attend, others may come from 100+ miles away. Will that do for a brief summary? Come along - you'll be made very welcome!

+mollyjak Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 As Mrs B has said you will be made very welcome Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Events are fun. You can put faces to names. You can ask questions. If you don' t try at least one event, you can't say "I'm never going to do one, because I don't like them..." When you know the faces, the "muggle" when you're after that FTF is only another cacher after the FTF! Quote
+Write and Mane Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 We had real concerns about attending an Event, but then we were responsible for the 'First South Wales Event'. Thankfully, it was a great success, this was not down to us, but because of all the wonderful cachers who came. Things you can be sure of at a SW Event: FUN Weather, we don't guarantee, what sort of weather but . . . . . A variety of great caches, placed in fantastic countryside. So come along and see if our fellow cachers really are as wonderful as we think they are. Quote
+chizu Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 We were made very welocme at our first event, despite dropping a geocoin onto the concrete - d'oh! Quote
