This event cache is an opportunity for fellow geocachers to drop in
and say hello to each other. I have booked the :
Sagebrush Room
Medicine Hat Family Leisure Center
2000 Division Avenue N
Medicine Hat, Alberta
Sunday January 28th, 2007 1:30PM to 3:30PM
This Medicine Hat event is for everyone and I would really enjoy
seeing geocachers from everywhere. Like last year this will be a
very informal meeting, some refreshments and snacks in the meeting
room and a door prize draw.
If your family is like mine then you may find yourself, on
occasion, dragging reluctant children along on a hike, they like
geocaching if conditions are right ! The GAS Winter Event cache
will allow you to bring your children along to a geocache where
they are guaranteed to have fun, they can go swimming in the wave
pool!
This is a worry free weather event, blizzards aside. The Medicine
Hat Family Leisure Center is a great facility with a pool and
skating rink.
Fees are required if you wish to go swimming, there is a waterslide
in the pool area. There is also a special Tot's pool that is geared
for the littlest ones. Skating, if the rink is open, is usually
free. Younger children require supervision in the pool. (under 8
years)
There is no need to go swimming or skating, those facilities
are just available in the complex, drop by for coffee or tea or a
soft drink, it is a great opportunity to meet and put faces to some
of those names you see on the cache pages. Please come out and say
hello.
Event cache information : Please go ahead and log a Will
Attend on the cache page if you even think you might drop by, it is
really helpful. An event cache is special type of geocaching.com
cache. If you have never attended an event you need not worry, this
informal setting is very relaxed. Please drop by and say hello. The
facility can add extra lifeguards if there are a lot of younger
swimmers.
I will be giving away several Alberta Wild Rose Geocoins as prizes
at the event.
Our family will be heading to GeocoinFest 2007 and will be happy
to take any travellers along when we leave, a few weeks after this
event. I decided to go ahead with this cache even though the
planning will add to an already busy schedule because Christmas
creates new geocachers every year and I hope these Winter Events
are a good way to answer questions that new GPS users might have.
Last year we decided it would be good to have a computer and a
connection to the geocaching website, I hope we will have that this
year so that questions about website geocaching tools can be
answered.
