It's the time of year again
for an East Anglian Cache event. A chance to meet other
cachers, swap war stories, travel bugs etc and have a beer or
two in convivial company. This event also coincides
with the first anniversary of
the East Anglian Cachers forum.
It is intended to hold a one day
cache event on Saturday 19th April 2008 in the beautiful city of
Ely in Cambridgeshire. Planning for it is underway and hopefully
there will be a couple of caches laid specially for the event,
going live in the morning. These are, of course, in addition to the
existing caches in the area.
Cachers are invited to meet at The Maltings (co-ords above)
around 11am to midday to find out who all these people whose
caching names they've seen so often really are. No special area has
been booked in the pub but it should prove big enough to house a
fair few of us - look out for the GPS, other pertinent bits and
pieces on the table (outside if nice weather) and cache sheets to
find out who to talk to.
Attendees are then free to do their own thing in groups or
alone. Mrs N has once again selflessly volunteered to lead the
caching widows/widowers posse in shopping / sightseeing / drinking
/ organised whinge about how rubbish caching is. Those who want to
can then meet up again around 5pm to compare war stories, wounds
etc.
Meals will be available as required but there will not be an
organised lunch or dinner.
For those wanting to make a weekend of it good camping is
available locally. For the Maltings parking is nearby, and best of
all, absolutely free. The location is a short walk from the
railway station.
Please indicate if you will be attending and how many big and
little folk. Also please email with your real names for
production of badges for the day.
I look forward to seeing you in April either for the first time
or once again.
