Yes, we have those blasted name tags and our electronic check-in.

What is S.T.R.A.N.G.E.? S.T.R.A.N.G.E. is an informal gathering to talk about geocaching and just socialize. It's a great way to get hints about caches that stump you, meet the faces behind your favorite caches (or the diabolical ones) and pointers for hiding your own caches. At our second meeting of the former Second Thursday ChesMont Event Cache - we formally adopted the monicker S.T.R.A.N.G.E. 

STRANGE is where you can share your exploits, collections of geocoins and swag, trade coins and other things, give away items - anything that you think are fun or interesting.  A phenomenal menu is also designed by the management of the Café.

Where is S.T.R.A.N.G.E.? Our third gathering will be at a geocaching friendly local restaurant; The Main Street Café. They take cash and credit cards and offer individual checks. It is a BYOB and offer full free bottle service, so feel free to bring the poison of your choice!

Who comes to S.T.R.A.N.G.E.? Everyone does. If you're a veteran cacher or this is your first one, it doesn't matter. It is always friendly and laid back. The "crowd" tends to be more adult, but there are usually a few youngsters at each event and they are always welcome.

When is S.T.R.A.N.G.E.? It's the second Thursday of every other month. We start at 5:00 and usually carry on till 7:30 at the earliest (sometimes we stick around till 8:30). If you can't make it for exactly at 5:00, no problem. You're not considered late unless you arrive after everyone has left (by that time the lights are out and the Café will be closed!). It isn't uncommon for cachers to show up after 7:00 with the majority of cachers coming in around 5:30 to 6:00.

The formal business meeting objectives of this event cache are: Review of old business.

There was interest in review of the selection of  "Neurotic" and its use with the "G" word.

Discussion of and adoption of charter.

Nomination / election of officers if provided for in the charter. Review of designs and hopefully select one for a STRANGE trackable.

Discussion of any new business. We have a surprise special guest. Informal socializing. Drive safe and hope to see you then and there.

Any suggestions for additional activities at the event - e-mail me. I love the collections of trackables and other memorbilia! Bring more. - Softbyte.
