+Omally Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Do we need to set up a rota to give Hornet the bumps then? Neutiquam erro. Quote Link to comment
Team Tate Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 It's my birthday on the 13th, not Bobs! And I bet the Hornet is a bit older than me by about um....... a few more years.....maybe even twice my age! Nah! If you're going for a cake for him then better have those extinguishers handy! Mind you would make a nice beacon for people to see the event from miles around Sarah Team Tate Remember - if it's moving, it's not dead... Quote Link to comment
+Omally Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I think the missing birthday girl could be me old ma: she did get a mention in the other thread. Best order another few dozen candles for this cake then... Neutiquam erro. Quote Link to comment

Wotsits Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 We were worried about being seen as being slightly odd - after reading the thread we are less concerned. We have two children in the team keen to instruct muggle children in the art of geocaching. You have 3/4 adults willing to help, but be warned we only aquired our GPS this weekend and our first cache is awaiting authorisation! Quote Link to comment
+Bill D (wwh) Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I'll be there, all being well, and I'm quite happy to help. And I'll be prepared to camp, if I can resurrect my tent, which hasn't been used for years. I thought I'd already posted a yes, but I must have been thinking of the other event thread.

bloke1987 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 iv checked my details and im all game as identification for geocachers and the noncaching-folk, why doesn't someone make up a template for a badge to hang around ur neck with ur geocaching name on that u can print off or ask an amigos to print off / blag a print off @ work / college ??? a simple logo and thing would help muggles spot us, even if they "have really bad eyesight"! c u guys there bloke1987 Quote Link to comment
+Tim & June Posted April 29, 2003 Author Share Posted April 29, 2003 Thanks for the idea this is already being discussed with HCC. We are at this time in communication with the legal beagle at GC.com to produce badges and other items with the logo. We will be having official badges for the helpers with their names.

Not 100% sure we will be having music, as I said "maybe we can organise some music" But, the area we will be using for the evening is specifically designated for the purpose, and is regularly used for this type of event. It is not indoors, but a roof suspended over an open seating area. Apart from anything else, the landowner (HCC) is providing the facilities and they suggested we might like music.

+Daisy&me Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 We will be there and will help. I'm not sure Daisy will be much help though as I'm not sure she understands the objectives of caching. She seems to think we're just out for a walk. If only I could train here to sniff out caches. Quote Link to comment

+THE BRAMBLERS Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 We would like to let everyone know, that at present the event is still going ahead. If there is any change to this we will let you know. Good news for anyone wishing to camp and help out at the event. We have now booked the BBQ shelter and area for camping from 5pm on Friday 18th to 12 noon on Sunday 20th. Hope you are all still able to come. David and Debbie Quote Link to comment
MCL Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Thank goodness for that. My belief is that events are a much better way to talk and thrash out ideas and differences than the relatively faceless method used on here. I hope all those who were originally coming will still make the effort. As those of us who have been at previous ones already know, there is no bickering, no trolling, and plenty of good chat. If ever there was an opportunity to get our collective heads together and agree on ways forward, the upcoming meets are it. Let us not waste the opportunities they provide.

David and Debbie Just so you all know: As I live just around the corner from David & Debbie, and know them, I have been to chat with them, and have offered to do what I can from the 'geocachers' side of things. PLEASE note: I am NOT powermongering in anyway, I just want to see this potentially fabulous event happen! The potential is quite amazing! There's lots to do, so I'll soon be contacting the local Geocachers that I know: if I do not email you, please assume it's because: (a) I completely forgot about you; ( I never realised you actually lived so close to me; © I was plain stupid. Whatever the reason: please feel free to email me if you'd like to help out at all. In the next few days, I'll go back through this thread and see who offered too. Can I just give ongoing thanks to David & Debbie for the work THEY are putting in to making this event happen: iot should be a fantastic day! Finally: I don't suppose anyone has a long (800m long....) reel of twin cable, of the sort you might use for a telephone, that we could borrow for the day? Or knows a good place to get some (and don't say 'along a road, it's hanging on a load of poles'!!!!) Thanks guys! Pau; Quote Link to comment
