Geocache Description:


Where & When:

Aston Clinton Park, Sunday 1st April

3pm until 4pm

There is plenty of parking at the park or the 'hub' as it's also known and the cafe have confirmed that it will be open.

Why:

The 1st April 2018 is the 100th Anniversary of the formation of the R.A.F. and to mark this occasion we will be holding a paper airplane competition.

Furthest wins and a spot prize for 'best in show' - judges decision is final but can be influenced with cake.

  • Each contestant will be presented with a sheet of A4 paper
  • They must create their airplane using only that piece of A4 which may be thrown on the official course once.
  • Please ensure your airplane is marked with your caching name
  • Planes must be made on the day, at the venue, within the alloted time of the event.

Contestants can practice to their hearts content and can build as many different planes (allowing for throwing it only once on the course) as they want allowing for the cache owner bringing sufficient paper!

It's a great venue, here's hoping for some good weather. I'm hoping lots of kids are there and will probably sub-divide the competition by age depending on number of entrants. Depending on wind direction on the day the precise 'throwing line' is subject to change

Dressing as a pilot is to be positively encouraged
