40th Birthday in New Zealand 12.01.12

[+linedancers]

Hi guys and girls,

 

My self (Clare) and my partner (Irene)(Linedancers) have booked a trip to NZ, commencing 24.12.11, and we will arrive in NZ on 27.12.11. If possible, I would like to host a geocaching event on 12.01.12, around Waimate / Dunedin to celebrate by 40th birthday. If there are any cachers out there that can possibly help out / suggest a venue / or even book the event, we would be extremely grateful.

 

We can be contacted on heypressto@btinternet.com / clare.kitching@btinternet.com / clare.kitching@bt.com or via geocaching.com.

 

Many thanks

 

Clare and Irene.

Hi Clare and Irene,

 

Most of the Dunedin-based cachers tend to lurk in http://forums.gps.org.nz rather than here.

 

Having an event in Dunedin for your big day sounds a grand idea! Here are some previous events held in the area to give you some idea of the venues and possibilities that have worked.

That early in January is still school / summer holidays so there may not be a huge crowd, but then again you may well capture other visiting cachers as well!

 

Personally, I'd cross fingers, hope for great weather, and aim for S45° 50.994 E170° 31.612 (Mannequin) as it has a nice outdoor area as well as indoor option if you're just looking for a nibble&chat.

 

Cheers,
