Geocache Description:

Eat, drink, be merry

and meet your fellow geocachers after The Fling.


For those who have never attended a COG Spring Fling let me explain the Après. We have all heard of Après ski - now there is Après Fling, a time when you can reminisce about the day’s experiences and rejuvenate.

Where: Bleachers at CFB Borden
Date: May 24, 2008
Starts: 5:30 pm
Door Prize Draws: 6:30 pm
Stay or go about your business: 7:30 pm

Please note that the base is open to the public and there are no security check points to pass through. Bleachers is the only all-ranks facility on the base (which is open to the Public).

Bleachers Restaurant carries an extensive menu featuring a large variety of food items. They have a seating capacity of 130 reserved for our group. Weather permitting there is also a 50-seat patio also for our use. There is an ATM for your convenience and credit cards are accepted.

Labatt is providing door prizes!!!!

.

New this year is table assignments to make sure that every available seat is used. Nawty will start assigning tables as Will Attend logs are posted. If several geo-teams wish to sit together consider entering one Will Attend log for your entire party and please name all the geo-teams. Once we reach 130 attendees, we will maintain a stand-by list.

If you are attending the Fling please confirm your reservation with Nawty there and pick up your table assignment. If the weather permits, Nawty will be taking reservations for the outdoor patio at the Fling.

This event is Family friendly, all are welcome (sorry no pets). We’re sure this will not be an issue; however, they will not allow children to stay past 9 pm.

After a day on the trails this is a good opportunity to rejuvenate before traveling home, setting up camp or finding local caches. For those who had a scheduling conflict and could not attend COG Spring Fling IV, this is your chance to find out what you missed.

The door prize draws will take place at about 7:00 p.m. After the door prize draws you are free to finish your food and drink and take care of business. You will easily have 2 more hours of daylight to find caches, get home or set up camp.

Camp Borden is historically known as the birthplace of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and 16 Wing. Today it is home to the Canadian Forces Support Training Group (CFSTG) and houses the majority of the schools in the CF. Borden also has two public museums; an armour museum and 16 Wing Air Force museum.

Borden is located next to the town of Angus approximately 16 km west of Barrie, along Highway 90 and approximately 10km north of the town of Alliston. There are only two entrances onto the base; the Angus gate at the west end of Hwy 90, and the south gate at the north end of County Road 15.

This base is also the home of the Canadian Forces Military Police Academy (CFMPA). This means that all posted speed limits are strictly enforced.

Place this event on your watch-list to keep posted about any updates.
