+harrogate hunters Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 The week before the mega I shall be in the black forest region of germany.... you are quite welcome to join me there between piratemania and the mega Quote Link to comment
+Madyokel Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Check out the side events to the Mega Perth, might be something that interests you? check here MEGA SCOTLAND Many thanks for that PP.. We will be muching up your scotland events.. Of which all I am sure will be superb. However I was wondering how cachers may be breaking up the journey to scotland. We may go directly(ish(via home)) to the main site.. We are all really looking forward to Mega 2010.. ( I take it "The Midge" is in full cooporation with the committee ) Sorry Robin but we will be having a bettter time in Britain.. Quote Link to comment
+perth pathfinders Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Please note all those events/dates are subject to change, so please watch out for the pages when they go live (roughly end april). But they give you an idea of what is planned. Ashbourne up to Kinross takes about five and half hours if you ignore every single cache along the way - oh come on who am I kidding!!! "The Midge" has not been invited! Quote Link to comment

[edit] also I can't find a link to book for the camping? Edited March 28, 2010 by rutson Quote Link to comment
+niknrich Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 If we get a campervan in time we're planning on an extra day in the Peak, then up to the Lakes for a couple of days before getting to Perth for the Friday. If no van then just Piratemania and no Mega [] Quote Link to comment

+rutson Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 From the guidelines: Events are generally published no more than three months prior to the date of the event, to avoid having the listing appear for a prolonged period of time on the nearest caches page and in the weekly email notification of new caches. Exceptions are sometimes made for events that are designed to attract a regional, national or international group of geocachers, or if an overnight stay is expected as part of the event, requiring advance reservations and travel planning (for example, a campout). Contact your reviewer if you wish to set up such an event, which may be published up to six months prior to the event date. A lovely grey area! Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Forums foobarred. Main gist of my post: Night do Tenner a head???? You're having a laugh, right? Hopefully we will be?? Not being a committee member and having nothing to do with the organisation of the Ceilidh this answer is completely off the cuff and is just my thoughts. Your tenner a head covers the cost of the hall & staff for the evening, food and the live band to entertain for the night. I would expect for somewhere in the region of 300 people that you are talking a tenner a head should just cover the costs. For those that can't afford the cost, and I appreciate those with family that it can be an expensive night out, then there are going to be a lot of free events held. Lets not stick the boot in just because they have to cover the costs for one of the events. Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 If food is included in the tenner then that's not bad at all! I was assuming food wasn't included in the price which makes it a ton of a job for a family with drinks etc. Quote Link to comment

The webpage will be updated to make it clearer. Quote Link to comment
