Why : Earlier this year we sadly had to say goodbye to one of the true Gentlemen of caching, Balloonist39. Mike will always fly high with us and this event will allow us an opportunity to celebrate our time with him and to remember caching adventures that we shared! An additional intent will be to raise a glass at 39 minutes past the hour to our friend.
When : Saturday 27 September - 3:00pm until 5:00pm, or when the last cachers leave!
Where : The Fleur de Lys Pub, Main Road East Hagbourne, OX11 9LN. Mike's local!!
The pub does serve food, but please let us know if you would like to eat when you log a ‘will attend’, I can then advise the pub of the numbers though their regular food serving times are 12-4pm and 5-9pm. Their regular menu is available on their website though a specials board is available in the pub as well.
It is possible to park on Main Street but please park considerately for local residents and other road users.
What : Celebrating our friend. Talking all things caching, drinking and being merry! Exchanging and moving of trackables. All welcome from newbies to the experienced cachers.
Why (#2) : Because it is fun with all the friendly cachers in the area as well...
Attributes : Please note that a Ballooning flying attribute will be available for this event on this day only!!! You may not see it on the website but you will know it is there!
