- Learn what "this geocaching thing" is
- CREATE a new hobby
- Get help with how to use the app
- Enter prize draws
- Grab a cuppa and a biccie
- Chat about anything geocaching
- CELEBRATE how geocaching is a great hobby for Seniors (and everyone) to get out and about and explore new places
This Geocaching Event will run from 2pm to 3pm, following on from when the Geocaching Hub closes.
- This will still be a great time for any newcomers to come along and Connect, Create and Celebrate with other geocachers, with the added bonus that an event counts as a geocache!
