Please join us for an informal gathering to mark International Geocaching Day 2016. Meet up for chat, caches and cake.
Although the event is mid-August, in Britain you can't be sure of the weather from one day to the next so our "theme" this year is "Brollies and Parasols" If you can please bring an umbrella or parasol along. We will tell the optimists from the pessimists by your choice and it should make a colourful photo or two whatever the weather.
We hope to refresh and/or replace our caches around the lake and there are plenty of others around the town. There is room for the kids to run about (but mind them near the water!) and ducks to feed (food available from various shops- NO BREAD PLEASE). Various eateries in the town, the market is open on Saturdays, the Hereford-Gloucester Canal makes a lovely walk nearby. So you can make a day of it.
