Event cache, Otaki (February 28)?

[+kjwx]

Quick query: Is there any interest in an event cache at Otaki Maori Racing Club on February 28th?

There's a race meeting on that day so it should be a good family day out. Club organisers are happy for us to use the facility for such an event.

If there's enough iresponse, I'll list it and begin working out cache hiding places.

Hello kjwx

 

Yes, I would be keen on that idea.

Sure other local and visiting geocachers would turn up as well.

 

If you were to publish the event cache many more geocachers would find out about it.

Hi Kjwx,

 

Organising an event would be a great idea for the local cachers. Have a careful think about where and how it's set up though, and possibly have a chat with your local reviewer as your current idea of having it as part of the race day may get tripped up by this part of the guidelines:

While a music concert, a garage sale, an organized sporting event, a ham radio field day or a town’s fireworks display might be of interest to a large percentage of geocachers, such events are not suitable for submission as event caches because the organizers and the primary attendees are not geocachers.

 

Cheers,

G.

Just in case anyone's interested there has been a get together announced for 28 Feb at Otari/Wiltons Bush.
