It’s that time of year again!
It has
proved way too difficult to find a pub capable of holding us all
this year so we are going for something completely different. We’re
having a Christmas Party at Rushall Farm, near Bradfield
in Berks. (Please note: the coordinates show the event as being at
Rushall Manor Farm - the two are linked, with the main part being
at the area shown on maps as Rushall Farm. We have a large under
cover area at our disposal, plenty of car parking, and good toilet
facilities including one for our disabled cachers. Although we have
roof cover, we will essentially be al fresco, so make sure you are
wearing your thermals and keep your fingers crossed for mild
weather!
We have put out some new caches
for the event. They will go live at the weekend, in time for
logging, and full details (paper and electronic) will be available
at the event.
Proceedings will commence at 12
noon and go on until around 5pm, depending on the weather.
Refreshments will take the form of hotdogs and home made soup and
rolls to warm you up, and mince pies to follow. Please bring your
own liquid refreshment; alcoholic beverages are most definitely
permitted. You are quite welcome to bring a picnic lunch if you
prefer. There are some tables and chairs available, but it would be
greatly appreciated if those who can bring camping chairs and
tables along to supplement these.
If anyone would like to help out
with contributions of rolls, mince pies, Christmas crackers, or
raffle prizes, etc., please contact us via our profile.
The farm is a charitable trust, and they ask for a donation of £1
per head for everyone attending. We will give everyone who donates
£1 a raffle ticket and there will be a few caching related prizes
and probably a few other ones too.
Please add this event to your
watchlist so you don’t miss out on any updates.
Dorsetgal and Geodog’s I Pledge
Geocoin and logbook come to a rest at this event, and Wendy
will be holding a draw for all those who have placed a wheelchair
accessible cache as they pledged.
The past two Christmas events have
been so enjoyable. We look forward to seeing you all again this
year, plus lots of new people too.
Alibags is holding her annual
Christmas bash the
evening before at the George & Dragon,
Northchurch.
Bring it on
Santa!!!
