It’s that time of year again when we
invite you all to join us at

 

Swadlincote Ski Centre

 

in the Alpine Bar, for festive drinks,
geochat and the all important annual
Emmy Awards!

 

9th December 6.30pm-late

We will once again be hosting our Christmas Event at the Swadlincote Ski centre this year. Food is available for those who want it at the venue along with a number of outdoor activities details of which can be found on the ski slope web site for those wanting to participate.

This event will be in the Alpine Lodge at the ski slope which is located upstairs and will also play host to the EMcache EMmy awards along with a Christmas Raffle and Secret Santa for those wanting to take part (see below).

The only access to the room is via a flight of steep stairs and unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible for that reason I have had to put the terrain rating as 1.5. However, if anyone with access requirements wishes to attend, please drop me a message and I am sure someone will be more than willing to assist people who have difficulties with stairs. People with strollers can always give someone a shout for a helping hand for a lift up the stairs. The toilets are also located on the same level as the room, as is the bar.

The Ski Centre is accessed off Hill Street DE11 8LP. There is ample car parking for all visitors. The sat nav might lose it a little due to recent road routing changes. You can always follow the brown tourist signs as you get to Swadlincote.

The room will be available from 6.30pm and food will be available until 9.00pm and range from lights bites to bar meals. Vegetarian dishes are also available.

Children are welcome in the Ski Centre so there is no reason not to attend due to a lack of babysitters.
 

830pm - The Christmas Raffle- see below for the quality prizes already confirmed.

9.00pm
Anyone can vote for the EMmy Awards in a variety of categories. More details on how to vote to Follow


If you wish to take part in the Secret Santa then please declare your interest in your 'Will Attend' log. You will then need to bring a wrapped caching related gift valued around £5 (Ideally this would be a ready-to-go cache container or travel-bug.) When you arrive you will take a name-tag from the hat and attach it to your gift and put it on the table ready for gift giving later in the evening!!
 

Everyone is welcome to join us for this fun event that celebrates all that is good about geocaching in the East Midlands!
