It's time to announce the winner of the MBGA Geocoin race. Who's coin managed to travel the furthest? Come out to Wild Wing and find out. With that contest coming to a close, it's time to start another. It's the return of Cachelutions. Some may remember this from a couple of years ago. With a new year comes New Year's resolutions. In Geocaching, we have Cachelutions. This is where you can make up to 3 goals for yourself for the 2018 calendar year.
2018 Cachelutions Contest Rules
- The contest runs from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. The cut-off date to declare goals is two weeks after the “cachelutions” pub night event on January 15 (i.e. January 29). Goals will be assessed, and accomplishments verified, by members of the MBGA Executive at the beginning and end of the contest period, respectively.
- Cachers/teams wishing to take part may declare a maximum of three (3) caching goals (“cachelutions”). Goals should be declared in a log entry on the “cachelutions” pub night event cache in early 2018. Goals may be changed up until the cut-off date.
- Goals must relate to cache finds or hides and must be statistically verifiable. (That is, something that can be determined by checking your Geocaching.com public profile or another publicly available website (e.g. Project-GC.com). For example, “increase my understanding of GSAK”, while a good idea, would not be an eligible goal.)
- There will be three prize draws. Third prize will be drawn from among cachers/teams that complete one goal; second prize, from among those that complete two goals; first prize, from among those that complete three goals.
- Cachers/teams are encouraged to declare goals that pose a legitimate challenge for them to accomplish.
- Prizes will be drawn for at the “cachelutions” pub night event in 2019. Cachers/teams do not have to be physically present at the pub night event either to declare their goals or to be eligible to win prizes.
- The MBGA Executive will keep a “master list” of all declared goals. This list will not be changed after the cut-off date (i.e. after January 29, 2018).
- Geocachers must be residents of Manitoba, but do not need to be members of the Manitoba Geocaching Association (MBGA) to take part or win prizes.
