+RedGlobe Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 We have arranged with Tshwane Nature Council to use the Joos Becker Caravan Park for the weekend of the 22-24 October 2010 (Geocaching saamtrek) and will post all the prizes and info as soon as it is finalized. We hope to receive cachers from other regions camping for the weekend. We will try and host a Braai event on the Friday evening in the caravan park and we are in the process of listing a CITO event on the Saturday morning 23 October 2010 which will utilize parking and Braai facilities of the Joos Becker Caravan Park in Pretoria. We will list the CITO now (3 months in advance) to provide enough time for cachers to plan and make all there arrangements for either the CITO or the weekend camping. We will inform you, once we receive more information on this forum.... Quote
+Fish Eagle Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Cool - we'll be there... That's two adults, one tent, one vehicle, and a lot of attitude. We'll help the Pretoria folks clean up their mess - what do you pay?? LOL Quote
besem Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I was afraid it might be during the SAMO Prizegiving weekend, but luckily it's the weekend after! Lookin' forward to get another CITO under my belt. Quote
+RedGlobe Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 - what do you pay?? LOL The pay is equal to a reviewer salary…He He OK the CITO is listed…GC2C91N Remember this CITO can be done by any cachers, if you are staying in the Caravan Park for the weekend or not. We will finalize the social events in time for this weekend. Quote
+Jors Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Can't miss it! For the out of towners, there are some great caches nearby too! Quote
+RedGlobe Posted July 28, 2010 Author Posted July 28, 2010 Hi All, I received the prizes for the camping weekend: We do get a 15% discount for this weekend. Normally the cost is R115.00 per night for a stand. This means that we will need to pay R100.00 per night for the stand. If we book more than 30 camping sites for this weekend, we will get a discount of 30%. I will provide the info where to make the bookings as soon as we sorted all arrangements. Quote
+RedGlobe Posted August 2, 2010 Author Posted August 2, 2010 Hi All Please see the info below: Caravan Park cost: Per tent or caravan (up to 4 people) per night with electricity: 1 to 6 days...R100.00 (This weekend from the Friday afternoon to Sunday morning will be R200.00 per team). Contact information for bookings: Tersia Berry: 012 335 2887 or E-Mail : tersiab@tshwane.gov.za Please note to mention that you are a Geocacher and the booking is for this weekend (22-24 October). Tersia knows of this planned weekend by the geocachers and was part of our arrangements with Tshwane Council. Quote
+RedGlobe Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 Please see http://www.tshwane.gov.za/resorts.cfm#joosbecker for more contact details for arranging your stay for this camping weekend. There are other overnight facilities available but note that this will not be at our discount offer from Tshwane council (only “camping” discount). Quote
+Louise_Gerhard Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Hi RedGlobe, in all probability my wife and I will attend. I volunteer to supervise – just to make sure all rubbish is collected and that the event organizer is bending properly without strain. We will do this one with no camping. This will be my first CITO. Thanks for organizing. Gerhard & Petra Edited August 31, 2010 by gerhardoosMPsa Quote
+RedGlobe Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 Sorry Gerhard the supervising job is already allocated to the “BIG Eagle Team” and they will make sure you do more than any team seeing that this will be your first CITO. I think this will be the most attended CITO yet as the stats shows CITO’s are not popular, but we can change this around. Quote

Sorry Elsies we are already taking the “daisy chain events” rule to the limits and had discussions with Groundspeak with the current events. Next time Quote
+RedGlobe Posted September 23, 2010 Author Posted September 23, 2010 I had a discussing this morning with Tersia (Joos Becker administrator), and you don’t need to make any advanced booking for the camping weekend. We have set aside a block of stands (40 stands) for the geocachers close to the Lapa. On your arrival the weekend, please go to the office near the gate and state you are a geocacher camping and do the necessary payments for your stay over the weekend. Quote

+RedGlobe Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 We confirmed this morning with John “JHC1” that all arrangements are in place for this weekend camping and the events arrangements for the weekend. He will park his caravan on Thursday and make sure of the stands set out for our weekend camping. The CITO arrangements are also confirmed. It’s GO....GO....GO, for the weekend. Quote

+RedGlobe Posted October 27, 2010 Author Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) The RedGlobe bird is missing from the weekend camping and we received this ransom note last night: We will appreciate any information on the whereabouts of our cacher TB bird. Edited October 27, 2010 by RedGlobe Quote

+DamhuisClan Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 So what is the story? Who kidnapped little cacher? What was the randsome? How long was he missing for? Quote
+RedGlobe Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 So what is the story? Who kidnapped little cacher? What was the randsome? How long was he missing for? We only received the photo from a “No number” with the following note - “final co-ord. will be given for CACHE SOME;)” I received some information from other cachers of likely “kidnappers” and over the weekend before our hike in the Magallies received our TB Cacher the “Voël” back in good shape (the kidnapper did not harm the voël, but only enjoyed handling him for a week). While the case files are still open and to protect the kidnapper from interference with the evidence, we decided not to name the kidnapper for now. If RedGlobe cannot look after a single TB.... how will we do with the huge numbers of trackable’s like FE or the Trickies? Or maybe some cachers take the word “discover” to a new meaning!!!! P.S. Maybe the kidnapper can add a comment to this posting!!!!!! Quote
+DamhuisClan Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Does the kidnappers name start with a vowel? Quote
+RedGlobe Posted November 3, 2010 Author Posted November 3, 2010 Does the kidnappers name start with a vowel? Nope... Quote
+JPMZA Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) Following Geocaching.com on Facebook I noticed that the photos I included in my log for the CITO event during the camping week-end in Pretoria linked into the CITO gallery on the website - You are all there Check it out at Apies River CITO on geocaching Gallery (currently on page 2 of the gallery): http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F...spx&h=b993f Edited November 13, 2010 by JPMZA Quote
