Parking: Suggested parking is in the car park at the provided coords, there is a footbridge to take you over to Horsbere. Or if there is space you can park by the gates leading in to the brook (parking area and meeting point).
Where: Meet by the main gate at 0930 or if you are coming a bit later check for my annoucement which will confirm where we are working.
What: Well we will be doing lots of different odd jobs in October and it all depends on how well we did in the previous sessions. The odd jobs could be anything from moving mulch, painting benches, raking cut grass, fencing and tree care.
I will post out an announcement the day before the event confirming what we will be doing and anything you may need to bring with you, so please do log your 'will attend' to make sure you see any updates.
How: The Countryside Ranger will be there providing guidance. We ask you to bring your own gloves and the ranger will supply the rest!
Health and Safety: The session and will be covered by council insurance as long as you are working under the Countryside Ranger's instruction.
Please do bring a drink as it can be thirsty work!

The Geocaching Association of Great Britain (GAGB). The Association was established in 2003 to provide a national geocaching organisation and serve as a UK point of contact for geocachers, landowners, the media and others with an interest in geocaching.
As part of its 10th anniversary, it was decided to hold a CITO weekend in September which has now became an annual event. This later evolved into a full CITO Week, with the first one being held in September 2019. It would be great to see more of these icons pop up across the country and for other members to hold their own events where it is not feasible to attend one that a committee member has organised.

There is a lot more information about what we do, including the landowner database, comprehensive event listings and Seeker e-magazine at www.gagb.org.uk. If you would like to get involved follow the link and find our contact details.
The GAGB are encouraging everyone to organise CITO events this weekend, in part to pay-back for what we hope will have been a great summer of caching, and also to make things more pleasant for future cachers. If this CITO is the nearest one to you, please come along!
