It's time to start getting excited about Edmonton's Sixth Annual Cache and Release Event, Cache and Release WINTER 2011. We are hoping that this year's event is going to be the most exciting, most fun, cache-filled event Edmonton has ever seen. And maybe the weather will be a little kinder to us this year than in some previous years? Of course the snow we have had this year will make it fun fun fun! Regardless,this year's event will be another entire weekend of fun.

Here is our recipe for a fun time:


1. HIDE SOME CACHES


Starting immediately, get out in the winter sunshine and start hiding caches. This year’s theme is family friendly/winter worthy containers!

All CARW2011 caches should be medium or large sized and should be acquired at no (or little) cost to yourself. This means PB Jars, recycled L & L's!), or home-made containers are all excellent choices. Of course, all caches must contain a log book, and should have a pencil and some trading items. All CARW2011 caches must be winter friendly.

All caches should be within a 40 kilometer radius from the posted coordinates. The 40km radius sets the boundaries at roughly (in a counter-clockwise arc) Stony Plain, Calmar, Leduc/Kavanagh, New
Sarepta, Blackfoot Park, Fort Saskatchewan Industrial, Gibbons and Calahoo. The posted coordinates are located at 100th Avenue and 100th Street in the heart of Downtown Edmonton.

There is no ammo can or spruce tree requirement this year, meaning that as long as the cache fulfils the above mentioned criteria, it can be a CARW2011 cache. All caches should include a Reviewers' Note, and should include CARW2011 at the end of the title. For example, Stumped by Another Lousy Pun (CARW2011) would suffice. If there are any issues regarding train tracks, clarification etc., please include this in the reviewers' note to make publishing easier. Cache Effect has requested that all caches be submitted no later than Tuesday, 22 February.

2. FIND SOME CACHES

 This year's event will commence at 9:00am on Saturday, 5 March 2011. Starting at this time, you can search out as many CARW2011 caches that you can. You can search in teams, with a buddy, with a dog, individually... whatever strikes your fancy. Just make sure that you write down the time that you/your team finds the cache. If you want to qualify for points and prizes, ensure that you return to the banquet by 4:00 pm on Sunday, 6 March 2011 or risk losing points.

We are anticipating that Cache Effect will be publishing the CARW2011 caches at 6:00pm on Thursday, March 3, 2011. Please remember that caches CANNOT be hunted until 9:00am the following SATURDAY morning. Any caches found prior will not count for the event, and FTF point are valid as of 0900 hours 5 March.

3. EARN SOME POINTS

Scoring rules will be coming soon!

4. AFTER-PARTY!

Starting at 5:00pm on Sunday, 6 March 2011, the CARW after-party will commence. You should have your score-sheet completed by this time, and submit it to the markers for review and prizes. The venue for the after-party will location to be confirmed. The address will be confirmed .......

At the after-party, the score-sheets will be tallied, prizes will be voted upon, and a Cache and Release Weekend 2011 winner will be declared.

5. COMPETE FOR PRIZES


It is our hope that we will have dozens of prizes available. Last year, we had enough prizes that everyone took home something (or multiples!) This year, we will strive for the same. Prizes will be awarded for the following CARW2011 achievements:

• Best Hide Overall

6. VOLUNTEER


There are several reasons to volunteer your assistance to help run this shindig. You get to be a part of the greatest event ever held in Edmonton, you get to contribute to your community, and you will receive a good feeling that you are helping out.

We are currently seeking volunteers to help out before the event and
during the banquet/after-party.
Even if you are not able to participate in the event, feel free to swing by the after-party, find a cache (or 100) after the event, or place caches regardless! Some of the best CARW caches in past years have been placed by people unable to attend the event. Please ensure you click the winter friendly attribute.
