davester Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I hope you've already been on the phone to Garmin telling them about Magellen's generosity. Quote Link to comment
+one4zorro Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 I hope you've already been on the phone to Garmin telling them about Magellen's generosity. There didn't even reply to my email, which is ironic really as a few weeks ago I started a thread praising their customer services! You win a few, you loose a few Martin Quote Link to comment
+one4zorro Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 I have had a couple of people PM me about times. I said to the pub we would be in from around 12:00 till 3:00ish. The prize draw will be at 2:00. I could still do with a few people to volunteer to take newbies out. Deego has kindly offered to help, but a few names in reserve would be useful. Thanks.

+MarcB Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 (edited) Right, now I'm definately going: I'm desperate for a GPSr! I wasn't lying with my cache description at Something Sinister; my old SporTrak gave up the ghost (quite literally), meaning that I haven't been able to hide caches without errors on the co-ordinates or find caches at all.

+one4zorro Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 (edited) How much are tickets by the way? *looks in wallet* Remembering that all the proceeds go to WaterAid we were thinking that the tickets would be 50p each. BTW the GPS arrived today and I have to say it is sweet! Great screen! But wait until you see the badges and the first 50 people that arrive get one of those free! See you there.

Deego Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 He has no mask on , I recognise him I have emailed the interested newbie (hope I get back in time for a badge ) See you there Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I could still do with a few people to volunteer to take newbies out. Deego has kindly offered to help, but a few names in reserve would be useful. Poor newbies, being lead around on a wild goose chase by Deego, probably trying to convince them that the traffic bollard is an elaborate trig point. He`ll need to teach them the Force.... Lord Vader... RISE.... Right where`s that lump of concrete stuck on top of a hill.... (Jumps on a speeder)...... Nnnneeeeooowwwww. Damnation! logged it already. Pengy Quote Link to comment

We managed to raise £163.50 for the charity WaterAid and also collected 11 telephones for them. From the comments posted it looks like everyone had a good time, thank you for your support. Thank you also to all our sponsors Magellan, Fugawi, Anquet, Tracklogs, NikWax and the Outdoor Pursuits Coop. I have posted the group picture on the cache site. See you next year! Martin, Julie and of course Ted. Edited May 21, 2005 by one4zorro Quote Link to comment
