After the fantastic fun at the latest event, held this time in The Palisades, I was thinking about what might make things even MORE intersting for next time. I was thinking about games.

 

KNOW YOUR FELLOW CACHERS: Who has more posts: Jomarc or Brian Snat, or perhaps: what is Harold's occupation, or on which of the following dates did Stayfloopy pass 2000 finds? Stuff like that.

 

SPEED CACHING: Several caches are hidden nearby. How many can you grab in under 20 minutes?

 

TECHNICAL: umm.... we could ask technical questions, like I dunno, how many sattelites are in orbit off which the GPS could track your location? Ummm.. yeah, technical questions....

 

Anyway, I was thinking that there be lots of prizes and such, mostly in the $5 range, but with a nice prize for the top point getter, maybe like a $25 GC to Outback Steakhouse (you get the idea)

 

Only problem is: this would cost moolah. I will admit that I'm thinking about perhaps hosting the spring event, or at least being involved. So here's my question for you folks..

 

1) is this a good or bad idea? and if a good idea, then 2) would you be opposed to putting up a few dollars towards the prizes? I figure if we even got $3 a head, if we got 40-50 people like we did last weekend that would be more then enough to score some cool prizes.

 

I'm sure there are other things we could do contest wise, so please feel free to suggest contests concepts. I talked already w/1 cacher who felt it was a good idea and suggested it be held somewhere in Morris County or west so the PA folks wouldn't feel left out. Great idea.

 

I have a secondary poll Q but dont want to make a serparate thread. What about the possibility of maybe $10-15 and no one has to bring anything. The cost of admission pays for everything, and the person organizing gets all the food, drink, supplies etc, and its paid for by the group fee. This would be much more dicey as some folks show last minute, while others have last minute problems. Does the operator lay it out in advance? or get paid in advance? I think the idea has merit but is fraught with issues.

 

Whadayathink folks?
