It's time to start getting excited about Edmonton's Sixth Annual
Cache and Release Event, Cache and Release WINTER 2011. We are
hoping that this year's event is going to be the most exciting,
most fun, cache-filled event Edmonton has ever seen. And maybe the
weather will be a little kinder to us this year than in some
previous years? Of course the snow we have had this year will make
it fun fun fun! Regardless,this year's event will be another entire
weekend of fun.
Here is our recipe for a fun time:
1. HIDE SOME
CACHES
Starting immediately, get out in the winter sunshine and start
hiding caches. This year’s theme is family friendly/winter
worthy containers!
All CARW2011 caches should be medium or large sized and should be
acquired at no (or little) cost to yourself. This means PB Jars,
recycled L & L's!), or home-made containers are all excellent
choices. Of course, all caches must contain a log book, and should
have a pencil and some trading items. All CARW2011 caches must be
winter friendly.
All caches should be within a 40 kilometer radius from the posted
coordinates. The 40km radius sets the boundaries at roughly
(in a counter-clockwise arc) Stony Plain, Calmar, Leduc/Kavanagh,
New
Sarepta, Blackfoot Park, Fort Saskatchewan Industrial, Gibbons and
Calahoo. The posted coordinates are located at 100th Avenue and
100th Street in the heart of Downtown Edmonton.
There is no ammo can or spruce tree requirement this year, meaning
that as long as the cache fulfils the above mentioned criteria, it
can be a CARW2011 cache. All caches should include a Reviewers'
Note, and should include CARW2011 at the end of the title. For
example, Stumped by Another Lousy Pun (CARW2011) would
suffice. If there are any issues regarding train tracks,
clarification etc., please include this in the reviewers' note to
make publishing easier. Cache Effect has requested that all caches
be submitted no later than Tuesday, 22 February.
2. FIND SOME CACHES
This year's event will commence at 9:00am on
Saturday, 5 March 2011. Starting at this time, you can search out
as many CARW2011 caches that you can. You can search in teams, with
a buddy, with a dog, individually... whatever strikes your fancy.
Just make sure that you write down the time that you/your team
finds the cache. If you want to qualify for points and prizes,
ensure that you return to the banquet by 4:00 pm on Sunday, 6 March
2011 or risk losing points.
We are anticipating that Cache Effect will be publishing the
CARW2011 caches at 6:00pm on Thursday, March 3, 2011. Please
remember that caches CANNOT be hunted until 9:00am the following
SATURDAY morning. Any caches found prior will not count for the
event, and FTF point are valid as of 0900 hours 5 March.
3. EARN SOME
POINTS
Scoring rules will be coming soon!
4.
AFTER-PARTY!
Starting at 5:00pm on Sunday, 6 March 2011, the CARW after-party
will commence. You should have your score-sheet completed by this
time, and submit it to the markers for review and prizes. The venue
for the after-party will location to be confirmed. The address will
be confirmed .......
At the after-party, the score-sheets will be tallied, prizes will
be voted upon, and a Cache and Release Weekend 2011 winner will be
declared.
5. COMPETE FOR
PRIZES
It is our hope that we will have dozens of prizes available. Last
year, we had enough prizes that everyone took home something (or
multiples!) This year, we will strive for the same. Prizes will be
awarded for the following CARW2011 achievements:
• Best Hide Overall
• Best Puzzle Cache
• Most Difficult (D), as voted upon.
• Most Difficult (T), as voted upon.
• Most Embarrassing Story
• Most Caches Hidden
• Most Caches Found individual
• Most Caches Found team
• Most Caches Found family (at least one child under 16)
• Most Winter Friendly Cache (similar to 2010!)
• Best Use of a Container (New for 2011)
• Most FTFs.
• Most Likely to be Muggled before Easter
• Newest Cacher
• Furthest Distance Traveled to Attend CARW2011
6. VOLUNTEER
There are several reasons to volunteer your assistance to help run
this shindig. You get to be a part of the greatest event ever held
in Edmonton, you get to contribute to your community, and you will
receive a good feeling that you are helping out.
We are currently seeking volunteers to help out before the event
and
during the banquet/after-party.
Even if you are not able to participate in the event, feel free to
swing by the after-party, find a cache (or 100) after the event, or
place caches regardless! Some of the best CARW caches in past years
have been placed by people unable to attend the event. Please
ensure you click the winter friendly attribute.
