+ITCHYthirdEYE Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi, can anyone tell me if there is a club /meet or anything else geo wise in the northants area. Thanx Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If you look at the pinned topics at the top of this forum you'll see the one listing the regional groups around the U.K. but I'm not sure that Northamptonshire fits neatly into any of them. There are regular events organised by the Beds/Bucks/Herts Bordering on the ridiculous group and also the Brummie Meet Committee but I haven't noticed any other regular event groups close to you. Maybe there's a niche waiting to be filled? MrsB Quote Link to comment
+Grizzly Pair Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 There are a number of active cachers in Northants, but no formal meets. The Allotment Gardener has organised some excellant well-attended events in th past, normally in the summer to co-incide with the allotment open day in Northampton. Apart from that Jollyjax has organised a few events and there are regular events in Oxford and by the East Anglian Caching Forum which are very friendly. We also attend the Cachewalker events : Cachewalker mostly in the cotswolds if you're happy for a bit of a walk. Apart from that as the saying goes 'if you build it, they will come'..........

+Bear and Ragged Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 That part of the world (country!) there's emCache -East Midlands Cachers- but they tend to be rather North of you, Leicester/Notts/Derby area. Quote Link to comment
+ITCHYthirdEYE Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Looks like there's a club waiting to happen, unfortunatley i work a strange shift pattern so it would be awkward to set up. Hopefully someone from northants area will read this and be inspired, thanks for all the help. Keep hunting. Quote Link to comment
+milvus-milvus Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hi Itchy, I believe there may be a Northants meet coming along "real soon now"... Baz (milvus-milvus). Quote Link to comment
+stressedhippo Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Any news on the Northants group? Quote Link to comment
+Jacaru & Wemnog Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 There is also Notts Geocachers in Nottingham, they have much less formal meets, usual getting together for a pub snack and chat, but again they are a bit north for you. Quote Link to comment
+milvus-milvus Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Any news on the Northants group? Neil, Are you on facebook? If so, try: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/gro...gid=47540850959 Quote Link to comment
+Don Kebals Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Any news on the Northants group? Neil, Are you on facebook? If so, try: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/gro...gid=47540850959 I was just wondering if anything ever materialised from this, ie a Northants Group/Meet, only I would love to attend a regular meet/event at a local pub or something with others if there were other people also interested in this. ??

+chillypenguin Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 There is a MEGA meet in Northants later in the year; http://www.hhandcc.co.uk/ And any events that are run near Northampton are very well attended. But there are no regular meets. I for one would be interested if there was. Quote Link to comment

We also attend the Cachewalker events : Cachewalker mostly in the cotswolds if you're happy for a bit of a walk. Apart from that as the saying goes 'if you build it, they will come'.......... CacheWalker events are organised by a group of cachers (known as CacheWalkers) who prefer to go caching by byway, not highway! We have an active forum here, to discuss caching and share good walks - Visit link to CacheWalker Forum That part of the world (country!) there's emCache -East Midlands Cachers- but they tend to be rather North of you, Leicester/Notts/Derby area. Yes, emCache is very active, but a little north of you, as Bear and Ragged said, but that doesn't mean you can't join their forum, or attend one of their regular events Quote Link to comment
+Dogfort Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I tried setting up a club for those on the border of Oxon, Northants and Warks border but it got ignored for the most part and one group in one of the said counties actively discouraged it because they thought it might harm their tiny forum.
