Twixmas 2012

---------------------------------------------------------
I know it's months away but in theory events should be submitted
3 months beforehand which means end of September/early October
for this one - and it would be good to get ideas in the pot.
I propose December 30th as the date, or December the 27th/28th -
the one date I cannot attend is 29th; sisters birthday. 30th may
be too late for some. Please suggest more dates too! Could run
into a Twinew instead?
Location I propose is The Farmers Arms
(

HTML http://farmersarmsguitingpower.com/)
in Guiting Power; with more
than plenty of potential to develop a a series for the pre-event
walk. It has a free-to-book function room which can hold up to
40 people; and skittle alley available within it. Open all year
round. Parking in the village hall, if the pub car park fills up
too quickly. Suggest more locations please!
I would love to help organise again, so if you all want me to I
am happy to sort out many activities for the event including
Secret Santa; Guess where the cache is. And of course the awards
for the CWSBC and handing out new bikes for next year. I doubt I
will be able to set the caches on the walk though; maybe some
cache 'n' dashes for those who don't want to do the walk?
Obviously we can talk about other things/ who wants to enquire
with the chosen venue.
Only just to start getting basic ideas going; would love to have
a "proper" CacheWalker to round (or start) the year off, with a
group walk and all.

Twixmas Event came up in conversation last week at the Mega and
people are looking forward to another CacheWalker classic get
together.
The Farmers Arms at Guiting Power seems an ideal location as
long as it doesn't snow heavily. Hasn't wrighty already looked
at a walk in this area?
As far as dates are concerned, the last few days in the year or
into the New year are best for me, as it is usually around
Boxing Day we have a family gathering.

Hard to think of Snow being here in Spain right now ;D but yes,
I do think that it could be an issue should it repeat as it did
in the run up to Twinew at the end of December 2010. Otherwise
The Farmers Arms is the perfect venue... Another ideas for a
location with good potential for a group walk and near to an
A-Road to get to in bad weather?
Now to decide on 28th or 30th as the date, unless anyone else
has other ideas?

Other pubs with bowling alley... Snowshill Arms, but as the name
suggests the likelyhood of snow up there is far greater than
most places, or The New Inn Willersey which is next to a main
road, and has a good sized level car park, (and very handy for
us Foragers tee hee, though not so handy for Walk Tall and
others out that way). Date wise, any for us, as we have no plans
as yet for the Christmas period.

30th it is then?
foraging 5: There have been two CacheWalker events held in the
New Inn, the first being the first ever CacheWalker bash,
Twixmas 2007 - I believe, by reading logs, it was a good venue,
with good food. The only problem I can find with The New Inn,
Willersy is that the area is already filled up with caches and
I'm not sure if there's potential for a new series/walk in the
area... We could meet somewhere else for the walk, but that's
not as convenient and if there is snow then we have the same
problem on finding another close area with A-Road access. Or
just risk it with Farmers Arms, or another location?
