📽 The 2021 Geocaching International Film Festival - GIFF - is the eighth incarnation of the competition, and again attending a GIFF event in November will secure you both an evening of cacher-made cache-centric entertainment, and a Geocaching souvenir! Woohoo! 📽
🎥 Trailer: Watch the trailer. It's good!
🎥 Where: St. John The Baptist Church, The Green, Stadhampton, OXFORD, OX44 7UA. The given co-ords are for the church/village hall. There is parking on the green outside where you may park at your own risk.
🎥 When: 6.30-8.30pm, Saturday November 20th 2021.
The film showing will start at 7pm prompt and lasts around an hour. There will be time for caching chitchat and exchanging trackables.
🎥 Note: As in previous years, there is a cost involved in hiring the hall so there will be a donations box for your contributions by the door. £2.50 per adult and £1 per child (6-15) is suggested. This is in line with Groundspeak guidelines, and any excess will be donated to charity.
Tea and coffee facilities are provided.
🎥 What: A gathering of geocachers to chat about caching and swap travel items, but also a family-friendly, hour-ish-long Geocaching film screening of mini movies made about caching, by cachers, from around the world.
🎥 Who: Cachers from far and wide. New to cache meets or geocaching in general? You'll be made especially welcome. Especially if you bring popcorn. All films are family-friendly, so bring the kids too if you like.
🎥 How: Getting to Stadhampton's village hall is easy. Set your satnav to event co-ords for best results.
🎥 What is GIFF?: From 11th-21st November, geocaching events will be held worldwide at which the finalist films from the 2021 Geocaching International Film Festival will be shown publicly for the first time. The films are suitable for all ages. Geocachers who attend and log this event will receive a special Souvenir on their profile. See here for more details.
🎥 Hall Rules: No dogs, sorry. No smoking or vaping. No alcohol or drugs. Anyone bringing food for consumption of others rather than themselves should be in possession of the relevant Food Hygiene Certificate(!)
🎥 COVID: Prior to attending we encourage the taking of a lateral flow test. Details on how to get lateral flow tests are available here. If you test positive, please do not attend. There will be plenty of “GIFFinfectant” for hand sanitising. We will try to keep the seating as spaced out as possible. We’ll try to keep the venue well ventilated to a point, i.e. we don’t want your all freezing to death instead! With regards to mask-wearing, this is your personal choice. We just ask you to all be considerate of your fellow cachers and consider wearing them where appropriate (i.e. not if you're trying to consume popcorn).
🎬 In your Will Attend log, please include the number of people so I can track numbers, as I need to inform the hall's owners for insurance purposes 🎬
