History
The Geocaching Association of Great Britain (GAGB) was established in 2003 to provide a national geocaching organisation that encourages best practices in hiding or finding geocaches. The GAGB serves as a UK point of contact for geocachers, landowners, the media and others with an interest in geocaching.
The GAGB committee are a group of volunteers that are elected annually. They are ordinary geocachers seeking to provide a voice for the wider geocaching community through promoting geocaching in the UK.
Since the earliest days of geocaching, it became apparent that geocaching in the United Kingdom needed to be represented by a body recognised by UK geocachers, which could act independently on their behalf. The first committee was elected in November 2003.
Thanks to the founders, we are now celebrating 22 years of the GAGB, with the GAGB growing to over 4000 members, who receive a monthly newsletter, and a quarterly magazine.
