SlytherinAlex Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 The event cache for the Mark "the Cat" Children in Need event is posted here.. All but the finer details are on the cache page. As I promised you, we have a venue that is within walking distance of the station (hourly trains from the wet and dismal side of the Pennines), as much real ale as you can drink and excellent pie and peas (Yorkshire style) and more. Less than 10 minutes from eother the M1 (J40) or M62 (J28). There will be caches available that even Seasider and Rutson haven't done, and a travel bug race with prizes. Come along from 12 to 3 and let's raise a few bob for old Pudsey Bear. Quote Link to comment

adrianjohn Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 (edited) Is it Saturday or Sunday? The original thread said November 20th which is a Saturday the cache page says November 21st. Please clarify, I dont want to turn up on the wrong day. Then again I could show up both days. EDIT: Should have read the whole cache page, It is Sunday What a stupid boy!!!

As Promised another raffle prize (it's currently a work in progress, but will be finished in time for the event ), The Mark "The Cat" C-I-N memorial clock. As it's totally unique and never to be repeated it should raise all of 50p Dave Quote Link to comment

+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Still not sure if we will be able to make it on the day. But here is our donation to the Raffle. It is one of Joan's handmade "Pennijar Bears" made from top quality mohair, and all hand sewn the eyes are stitched in place and he is traditionally jointed. This is a collectors bear and is not suitable for children under 14 years to play with. As our good friend Dave (Mancunian Pyrocacher) is coming along to the Happisburgh cheque presentation we will hand our bear over to him. So we are sure Mr. Bear arrives in time for the raffle. We have spoken to Dave and he will be pleased to hand Mr. Bear over for us Joan Quote Link to comment

+Brenin Tegeingl Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Yeeppeeee !!!! its finally starting its mission , the tag has been activated, I'm about to start its journey from one of my caches to give it a starting point, and then log it into the event. We'll volunteer for that if you like Dave. Pengy & Tigger that would be great! Can we carry the TB Board from your vehicle into The Hill House. Pleeeeeaaase Mark and Joan I recon that there should be 5 chances to log the TB from when I reach the Lifeboat Station that's if you want the board on display when the cheque is handed over (from my car to RNLI station, to a car, someone's car, to the restaurant, to Pengy & Tiggers car) before it starts its journey to the C-I-N event.

+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 That's brilliant Dave, bags us from your car to the Lifeboat Station, don't know if it will fit in ours for its journey to the pub, but we will try. Joan Quote Link to comment
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 (edited) Boo hoo we definately won't be able to attend the event Our friends from Florida will be over ( attending seminars) and we can only meet up with them after 1500 on the Sunday.
