Let’s have
a party,
festivity,
merriment,
festival,
commemoration
–
all synonyms for a celebration!
Why?
Just because we love a good “kuier”
around the braai with fellow cachers and to welcome new
cachers. 
To celebrate all the milestones, memories, good
laughs and tricky finds of the previous year. I would like to
display these on a notice board, with some pictures (so please
e-mail them to me). The funnier, the better J.
Because the kids (and the young-at-heart) love a
Christmas party, making Christmas decorations and Christmas pudding
of course…hmm!
To kick off the 2011 TB race. Bruce kindly offered
to handle this part of the event.
Please remember to bring
your new travel bugs for the race!
Please book your newly registered TB into the
event for that day and if possible post a photograph and its
preferred goal on its TB page. Bruce will be available to
take photographs of all the TB’s.
At the end of the event you will be free to
take one or more TB’s and help them on their
way, especially if you are going away for the
holidays.
Where?
Follow the
coordinates to a lovely shady lapa. John and Redglobe, thanks for
arranging this lovely lapa (free of charge) for us. There is a lot
of space and braai facilities, no matter what the weather will
be.
Parents please note that there is a swimming pool next
to the lapa, so please keep a close eye on your kids at all times
during the event!
Please make your
own arrangements with the caravan park if you would like to stay
over during the weekend.
What to
bring?
Own meat, drinks and salads/rolls/chips.
Let’s treat ourselves to a festive buffet
style dessert table!
Can each team please bring a small plate of
sweet treats or a small pudding (enough for the number of
members in your team) for this table?
Your own chairs, picnic table, crockery, cutlery,
picnic blankets.
Caching pictures to put on the notice board
– to share laughs and celebrate milestones.
What will
be provided?
Charcoal for the
fires.
A treat for the
dessert table.
All cachers will
have free entry to the caravan park on the day (just mention at the
gate that you are a geocacher). Everyone is welcome!
Activities
for the kids:
A creative “make a
festive cache” activity.
Father (or mother) Christmas may make a guest
appearance.
There is a kiddies playground behind the lapa.
(Playground equipment is used at own risk).
Please indicate how many kids are in your team
when you log that you will attend.
Can the
kids please bring the following for their activity, if
possible:
A recycled
container like an ice cream tub that seals tightly and recycled
material like cereal boxes, egg cartons, shiny packaging, milk
carton lids, ribbons, string, old Christmas wrapping,
etc.
A pencil case
with their marked stationary like pritt, scissors, glitter,
coloured pencils/crayons/koki’s. No paint please, it can get
too messy.
Lots of creative
ideas!
