+The Blorenges Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I've just been going through all the UK events listed to mark 10/10/10. I make the total 19 so hopefully most people will find one somewhere near them if they feel like celebrating such a pleasing date. I've only just discovered that 101010 binary is 42 decimal so that means it's also the Ultimate Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. How can anyone ignore the significance of that? Here's the list of where the events are taking place (I've just put the nearest large town/city): Basildon, Northampton (2), Cowdenbeath, Swansea, Walsall, Holywell, Chorley, Huddersfield, Havant, Cheddar, Nottingham, Esher, Congleton, Stow-on-the-Wold, Dorchester, Aberaeron, Poole, Dublin. You can find quick links to all the above event cache pages from the GAGB Events Calendar. (Let me know if I've missed any, or have details wrong!) MrsB Quote Link to comment

+HazelS Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Litttle Miss Naughty wanted an event that weekend, as I am off to visit her... I DID suggest she held a 10 10 10 event, but I am off to the Holywell one on the Sunday evening... she decided to host the next Kent Event and have it on the Saturday so I could attend.... I sugegsted she be ironic and call it the 09 10 10 event LOL Quote Link to comment

+*mouse* Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 As 10/10/10 is International Earthcache Day, we planned an earthy themed event. Geoaware was kind enough to supply us with a big bag of prizes which will be handed out on the day. Oh, and there will be CAKE! Quote Link to comment
