We have ended up using the same venue as our last event, partly because the venues I had planned to use for the new circuits were nothing short of rude and unhelpful, but also because The Blue Bell were such accommodating hosts last time. Feedback from cachers was good about the pub (the venue remembered us by the amount of Ploughman's that were ordered that day!).
The event will include two new gecocaching circuits. One will be a walk of around 3.5 miles and the other will be a driving circuit. Approximately 40 new caches will be placed with lots of 'First to Find' opportunities given that there are 4 directions to head out in!
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the event, the caches or anything else, but we have a short FAQ below (helpful huh?)
We look forward to seeing you on the day.

Oh, and... Creme Eggs for all that attend!
FAQ
Q) Can I get a .gpx file for my GPS device?
A) We will be providing a .gpx file to load onto your GPSr should you wish to avoid manually inputting them all. Just bring your device and USB lead (if its Garmin or Micro USB we have you covered) and you can use the laptop to copy them over.
Q) Will there be much walking involved?
A) The walking circuit is about 3.5 miles and includes stiles, and is of course optional.
Q) Is the Pub dog friendly?
A) Yes, they even offer well behaved dogs a biscuit (though you might have to ask).
Q) What about the driving circuit?
A) The circuit is about 10 miles of quiet roads with somewhere to pull off the road at every cache. Bring your bike if that's your thing :-)
Q) Can we bring bags full of trackables?
A) Yes! We love trackables.. bring them all!
Q) When will the caches be published?
A) Details of the caches will be available at the pub in print and .gpx format but will be published at geocaching.com at 1pm, to give people time to attack a circuit before the event. Stop in for drinks, eats, eggs and hello's and then head out again if you like, or save some for another day.
Q) Is there WiFi at the pub?
A) Yes, our hosts are very friendly and helpful! Their WiFi will be available upon request for you to download the caches or update your logs.
