Sorry folks but I've just posted a will attend log for Imber
::)
It's somewhere that has been on our to do list for ages and we
keep forgetting about the event.
We will try to attend the CW event if it doesn't clash though.

As people are wanting to make plans shall we say that if there
is nobody offering to take up the reigns by the end of this
weekend then we will consider it cancelled for this year.

Mentioned it whilst we were out the other day. Think that will
be the case. I haven't put myself forward to play a major part
in organising, and in my opinion it is a bit late in the day to
do so now.
What are other's plans with Imber? If enough people still have
the date kept free we could still have a CacheWalker twixmas pub
get together.. just for a drink and a chat. I don't mind
choosing a central pub and getting an events page published for
it. But I can't devote any time to organise any bells and
whistles (raffles etc) for it, it would only be a simple affair.

Sounds like a plan to me as nobody is stepping up to run the
Twixmas event.
Just a thought but does it need to be an event, would we get
enough interest from forum members just to have a meet in a pub
and then go for a walk to find some existing caches?

I've been watching the thread but also haven't put myself
forward as I'm busy in the lead-up, both with school and then
with family who leave on the 28th, but then we have more family
coming the next day.
I think last year we didn't get the event page published until
the second week of December, but, then again, there was
discussion anyway.
It's a shame, but I like @SangueG's idea. Then again, if anyone
does want to take the reigns, even better!

Is there any reason why it is not held in a pub like it used to
be or is it that the numbers have just got too large. If we
walked in the morning and then just had a meal in the pub it
doesn't need to have much organisation and there are no extra
costs of hiring a hall etc as everyone just pays for their meal.
Sorry we can't offer to help organise as Derbyshire is a bit
too far for everyone else to come to!

I think most of us feel that for it to be a proper Twixmas event
there needs to be a pre event walk with some caches to find. I
think it is the setting of the caches that people have no time
to complete rather than the organising of the event itself.

We could place the caches as we walk on the day :D
We could do a walk without caches, or just one with a longer
multi or two. It'd be a shame to not have some sort of event to
conclude the CWFC and launch next year's race etc, plus it's a
nice way to end the caching year.
Remember our next event will be our 25th too.
Are there not any routes with caches on that haven't been
submitted? If things had gone to plan I'd have one waiting in
the area by now, but I've dropped that idea :(

Twixmas

Good news - we think! We have been to look at Shenington
(15minute drive from J12 of the M40) and set a trail from the
village hall there which is available ( sorry for those who have
other plans but we are going to stick with 28th December) and
has a kitchen. It's a bit smaller than Adlestrop but seats 50.
It costs £7 per hour. We have set a trail of 15 caches on a walk
of just less than 4 miles, it's very scenic and undulating but
no major hills, there are 4 existing caches on the way also.
We have done this as a joint venture with Calabrian Dreamer and
her husband Rustytinman is happy to cook bacon rolls for people
if wanted, we thought maybe £1.50 each to help towards the cost
of the hall if that sounds OK? We are happy to provide coffee
and mince pies, would we be allowed to ask for donations for
those or would it be better to get people to bring raffle prizes
again to cover cost of hall hire ?
There us a lovely little pub but it is small and they already
have a party coming to eat , they would be very happy if people
want to go for a drink but they only open till 4pm.
There is limited parking at the hall but there is the doctors
surgery carpark a short walk away which is not used on a Sunday,
we need to phone on Monday to get permission to use it but
hopefully it won't be a problem, it has room for about 20cars
and there is quite a bit of on road parking nearby.
This is a bit new for us as we've never done an event before so
would welcome any comments.
