CITO in the UK

[+RuberyBlue]

I have taken up the self appointed role of making sure UK CITO has its profile raised, with a view to bigger and better in 2011.....

 

2010 has seen 15 ‘CITO’ events held across the UK by the Geocaching community resulting in:

 

545 – Participants involved in litter collections

595 – Bags of litter collected

30m² – Himalayan Balsam cleared

 

Plus numerous bulky items (tyres, bikes etc.) removed.......Congratulations to all of the event organisers.

 

I will be looking to raise the profile of the CITO next year and with your help surpass this years excellent figures.

 

If you are yet to attend an event the first of the year is currently 15th January (check out the GAGB calendar regularly).

 

If you have a hankering to organise an event - Do It! - I have a list of contacts who I am sure will be able to help you with advice.

 

Don't forget you can CITO every time you are out caching.

We enjoyed the first London rubbish clearing event on Sunday. Without wishing to offend our friends across the pond, could we call our British events CIRO, cache in, rubbish out? I'm proud of our English language, what do others think?

You say eether and I say eyether,

You say neether and I say nyther;

Eether, eyether, neether, nyther,

Let's call the whole thing off!

 

You like potato and I like potahto,

You like tomato and I like tomahto;

Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto!

Let's call the whole thing off!

Well done RuberyBlue for taking this on. A good way for geocaching to raise its profile with the people who look after the UK's beauty spots. I went to your Clent Hills CITO event and it was great fun all round (even picking up all those dog poo bags!)

The word Trash doesn't bother me, Garbage would be a step too far though!

Sorry but...

I find caches. I avoid rubbish. That's not my hobby or job.

That's what I pay tax for.

Happy Christmas folks.

That's OK, nobody's making you....

Cache in, Rubbish out just doesn't run off the tongue in the same way.

 

Trash is fine by me.

Well, your local tax bill will be that little bit lower after our CITO event at Chiswick.

Sorry, but that's not my Borough.

Shame because the increase in alcohol taxes in Chiswick will increase on the day.
