Didcot GeoChat Series
After our recently placed GeoCache Series at Great Western Park, in central Didcot, and at surrounding villages, we decided to start hosting a monthly series of casual GeoChats in Didcot, hoping to meet like-minded local and non-local, old and new GeoCachers, sharing each other's caching stories and memories, discovering and exchanging trackables, in a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. There are also many GeoCaches nearby, so please feel free to find them before or after this event.
This monthly GeoChat is likely to occur during middle of each month, at weekday lunchtime. But this plan may be subject to changes depending on the feedback from the attendees. We also host additional special day events from time to time.
All our placed caches and events can be found at this public bookmark list: https://coord.info/BMFEC4E

The A Fine Pair series was originally started by wizardsmum but is now managed by mattd2k. The theme of the series is based on locations where a red telephone box is in close proximity to a post box.
The only rules are that they have to be able to be photographed together, be not more than 100’ apart and the phone boxes have to be red.
The A Fine Pair series is managed by mattd2k
If anybody would like to place 'A Fine Pair' of their own please do. I would just ask that you first visit www.afinepair.co.uk to request a number to avoid any duplication.
mattd2k also keeps a public Bookmark List of this series. Once your cache is published please contact him via the A Fine Pair website at www.afinepair.co.uk to have yours added.
