The event will be an informal meet and
greet, “BYO everything” picnic and everyone is welcome
to come along. Those who attend will have the opportunity to catch
up with old mates and make new friends while discussing all-things
Geocaching. There is always the chance to discover and swap travel
bugs and geocoins, to get answers to those niggling questions you
have, as well as find the caches located in the park, in particular
the challenging “Fagan Park and the Gardens of Many
Nations” ten-stage multi by imgettinannoyed.
Festivities will commence from
10:30am. Best access to Fagan Park for this event is via the Carrs
Rd entrance (S33°38.215 E151°02.685). Entry for people is free
however there is a $5 per car parking fee (payable at the boom gate
with coins or Visa/Mastercard) and there is plenty of parking space
once inside. The money raised helps with the maintenance of the
park. If you are feeling a tad poor, there is limited parking
outside and you can simply walk in. At the published co-ordinates,
there will be a sign indicating exactly where we will be set up.
Hopefully, it will be at one of the picnic shelters close by, (if
we get there early enough and they are not booked for a function.)
There are electric BBQ’s available ($1 coin in the slot) and
toilet facilities nearby. Kids, of all ages, can bring along their
cricket sets, frisbees, bikes, footballs etc, as there is lots of
room. There is also some play equipment for the little ones to
enjoy.
Fagan Park also has the following
rules: Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash and stay at
least 10m from BBQ's, picnic tables and the play equipment. Alcohol
must not be taken into the park.
In the case of bad weather on the
day, a decision will be made and a note will be placed on this page
by 8:00am on the morning of the event indicating if it will go
ahead or not. Fingers are crossed for a beautiful
day.
Please post a “Will
Attend” log and add this event to your watchlist so you
receive any updates. I hope you can come along and help make this a
truly enjoyable gathering.
Cheers,
Calypso62 and Geotooter
