Geocache Description:

Binfield Bank Holiday Cache Bash


28th May 2005
from 1200 hrs onwards


The Royal Standard Public House
Forest Road
Binfield
Berks



Despite absolutely no demand,  walkergeoff & The Dewdrops have put together this bash for cachers from both within the area and maybe further afield, to meet up and exchange their geocaching anecdotes and stories in a homely, country inn environment.

Although hot on the heels of the local Critical Mass Cache Bash at the beginning of May, this is an ideal opportunity for those who either couldn't make it, or for those who are just plain sociable!

This event is open to absolutely anyone.... cachers from Berks, Bucks or wherever. However due to the size of the pub, numbers may have to be limited!  Please register early to avoid disappointment.

Pets and children are welcome, providing they are kept under suitable control. 

There will be the usual TB swap. Bring along a TB and take a different one home with you. You can either pre-drop them into the event, or just bring them along on the day!

The pub itself can be located at the coordinates shown at the top of this page.  There is ample local parking, either at the pub car-park (around 20 vehicles),  or in the Oakmede Place car-park just over the crossroads at N51 25.881 W0 47.458.

The pub opens at 1100 hrs - bar snacks and light meals will be available (betweeen 1200 and 1400 hrs only).  Please let Jon or Geoff know your requirements so we have some idea what will be required of the chef! 

There is a small garden with a couple of tables and chairs.

If you are planning to stay overnight at a local B&B or pub, contact Jon at jon@jondew.com, who might be able to help.



The Royal Standard at Binfield
The centre of Binfield is only a couple of miles from the town of Bracknell, but the village remains rural and is surrounded by farmland.

The village, a mile or so in length, is a prime example of ribbon development, running along a ridge 260 feet above sea level. 

There is a small but modern shopping arcade within walking distance of the venue.

The Royal Standard (streetmap) is just 5 minutes from the A329(M), junction 10 of the M4.




The Binfield, Bracknell & Wokingham area contain an abundance of varied caches, all these are within a 2.5 mile radius of the pub:

So Farley, So Goody
Pope's Meadow Pleasures (Berks)
Binfield Bushes
One Old Oak
Cantley Capers (Berks)
Jubilee Reserve
Monks Mystery
It's Behind You!
Wokingham town micro
Treasure Chest
Hidden Jems One
The Ludgrove trail

At least 4 special event caches will be active on the day of the bash - details will be available at the venue or shortly before...

Please register by leaving a note on the cache page, just so we can get some idea of the numbers expected to tell the publican.

Hope to see you all there!
