New series "REMEMBRANCE" I'm initiating, join in

[+e-remes]

Hi all,

 

I'm just starting up a series called Remembrance.

 

Basically placing caches near war memorials currently in west Yorkshire (later the world-Ha Ha Ha (mine is an evil laugh)). If anyone else wishes to place a cache(s) near one crack-on.

 

I hope it will run in the same vain as Motorway Mayhem, with a common background (poppies from the Royal British Legion website) and a common intro text. I'm having difficulty embedding the last post as a midi file to play on the page (any thoughts, tips?) watch for my listings going live this week (hopefully)

 

any thoughts direction welcomed

Good luck with this, but with one caveat;

 

Please don't use the British Legion Poppy, as their website is quite specific;

 

"You are responsible for complying with all applicable copyright laws. We permit you to make copies of information on this website as necessary incidental acts during your viewing and you may take a print for your personal use of so much of the site as is reasonable for private purposes. All other uses are prohibited. Nothing in these terms shall be construed as conferring any right to use any trademark logo patent right or copyright of The Royal British Legion."

 

The RBL is VERY protective of their Poppy and the caching community have had difficulties with them in the past - I think the Help for Heroes coin was initially going to be an RBL one, but they were so difficult about giving permission to use the poppy that the idea was abandoned!

There are already caches of this nature... the Lest we forget series and the Poppeis on Parade series....

 

take a look at them.

Sorry, I don't mean the ACTUAL RBL poppy but a copyright free field of poppies image from their website. I wasn't very clear on that.here is wht i refer to<br>http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/media/7645/mc_poppy_images_3.jpg

I'm pretty sure the site's coding won't let you do this anymore.

And from memory, that's more of a blessing than a fault..

Thought: AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Tip: Please don't!

You cannot add sound to cache page descriptions. Or rather you can try and put the code in but it will be removed. Why is this? I can't possibly comment but I think Rutson may be close to the reason......

There's already a Lest We Forget series alive and well in Dorset and its creator, 0nthetrain invites people to take part and extend the series around the country. He might be a good first port of call for advice. Especially as I understand he has contacted appropriate authorities for permissions etc.

 

Linky for 0nthetrain

 

Linky for my cache in his series

 

It's a nice idea, but let's have some continuity, as there are already two or three LWF series, and lots of other caches based upon war memorials.

 

I suspect someone who has time could do a good job of collating all the caches on this type of theme in the country

It is NOT Copyright free

 

As the RBL say:

However, they remain the copyright of The Royal British Legion and you should credit their use, ''Picture courtesy of The Royal British Legion''.

What, like a "Winter of discontent" cache outside every council depot and a "once there were jobs" cache at the site of every former coal mine?

Let's not get politcal there are websites dedicated to it. That said I'd rather have Baroness Thatcher in charge than Cyclops.
