This event takes place at the The Prince of Orange in Yatton, 12 miles
south of Bristol about a mile off the A370 Bristol to
Weston-super-Mare road. We will gather in the skittles alley
behind the bar. The pub has ample parking and there is also a
further village car park just a couple of hundred yards away –
see additional waypoints. Of course, the event is open to all
cachers without charge though you’ll have to buy your own
drinks!
It will be a very informal evening allowing you to catch up with
old friends and meet new ones. If you have not been to an event
before then please come along and join us – you’ll find that the
others who do this strange hobby are just as crazy as you. They are
certainly a very friendly bunch.
This event follows on from the earlier informal pub meet
organised by Winscombe Wanderers and OMELET GRIM’s excellent
Beach Barbe-cache and is an attempt to
organise a local’s social meeting on a more regular basis – see
firs topic below.
Geocoins & Travel Bugs
As with most events you will be able to swap Geocoins & Travel
Bugs or just help them on their way. To make this process easier
Mrs. wheelybarrow has kindly volunteered to
collect and issue them. If you do place/retrieve a TB at the
event, please make sure that you log it promptly, keeping a note
of its tracking number, etc.
Things to ponder
It would be foolish of us to miss this opportunity to discuss
matters of common local interest. Whilst we do not want to have an
‘agenda’ for this event it was felt that it would be helpful to
list topics for general discussion that may be of interest to some
of those attending – see below. To make it easier to progress these
topics we will try and appoint a champion for each one. If you have
a keen interest in a particular topic ensure that you catch up with
its champion on the night.
If you want to add a topic please state this in your log and
we’ll add it and your caching name as champion to the list.
In no particular order:
Expressions of Interest
If you are interested in coming to this event then it would help if
you post a note on this page saying how many there will be in your
party.
