You're looking for two containers. The larger exterior container is black. Please UNCLIP it, don't yank it off. The cache second container inside it is painted gold which represents the value of what we learned during our time at this Theological College.
Some people have said it feels like private property - The College is happy for the cache to be there. People come and go through the church property all the time so don't worry. Most people don't know this college exists, it offers full and part time degree courses, and is run by a trust board closely linked with the Anglican Diocese of Nelson. TeamElliottFamily finished our studies here in November 2010, so thought a cache was a good way to offer a tribute to a place which has been a huge part of our lives for three years. BTC trains lay people for ordination in the Anglican church (I was one of the first students ordained) and to equip lay people to help in their parishes. Read the plaques and get a sense of the history - the college was orginally hosted up at Bishopdale Chapel in the late 1800's, but was closed after the first world war. At one time Bishopdale College trained the majority of Anglican clergy in NZ, but this has subsequently been taken over by St John's College in Auckland. Recently Nelson has re-staked our claim (take that Aucklanders). Please be discreet, the College has neighbours at the night shelter who are often about in the evenings and obviously students coming to and from classes. This cache will be easiest to get at on a Saturday, but you can easily pick it up on an evening stroll.
