A day devoted to our favourite hobby (or for most 'A way of life')
Its that time of the year again where Geocachers from all over the world come together on this day to celebrate International Geocaching Day.
So we invite all local cachers and any that may be passing through our region to join us for lunch at a favourite local cafe to celebrate, catch up, eat, drink, swap ideas, and get some much needed hints on puzzles. Also dont forget to share your Travel bugs for us to discover.
Geocachers that log an 'attended' at the event will recieve the 2019 International Geocaching Day Souvenir on their profile page.
Where - Tawa Glen Cafe
When - Between the hours of 11am-1pm
This is a kid friendly event and also dog friendly (on a leash) They also have food to buy for your furkids so they dont have to miss out either.
