Twixmas event 2016
By: Griff Grof Date: September 22, 2016, 6:51 am

Guess we should have an early thread to start discussing and
throwing about ideas.
Does anyone have any? :D
- It has been a while

/>since our last event :o

We are away the first week in January (2-9) so would prefer a
later (or earlier) date.

Looking at the days: Christmas Day on a Sunday and New Years Eve
on the following Saturday.
Perhaps a mid-week event, say the Wednesday 28th?
But where .....

Hi Folks, So glad a Twixmas Event is on the cards. When Heidi
and I placed the Shenington Loop we were told another walk was
south of the village hall. Perhaps that is a possible location?

Any more thoughts on Twixmas? Getting late (but not yet too
late) to sort an event out.

Now we're back in the area again, we like the idea of a Twixmas
event too. We have a 3 1/2 mile loop starting and ending at
Willersey where we used to live, which used to be our morning
walk for years. Wrighty used to have some caches along it,
which we know we've found but note the loop is now devoid of
caches except for a couple of ours and also of the Foraging
Five. It would offer some excellent views both along the bottom
way and back along the top. Willersey village hall has parking
and there are two pubs to choose from (though in the past, the
New Inn looked more favourably on walkers than the Bell and was
also cheaper). We don't mind walking round it and setting up
some caches; we think there's time. Is that all that's involved
in setting up an event? Being of advanced years we could
probably use some help with anything technical but retirement
works to our advantage in allowing us to stroll around the
countryside at leisure! Also, we favour Dec 28th or Dec 29th,
nicely midweek.
Regards, Jude and Rob (Willow Wisps)

[member=53]Willow Wisps[/member] - thanks for considering
organising it! ;D
Our first EVER CacheWalker event, almost 10 years ago, was in
the New Inn with the CacheWalker Five as its walk. So it would
be fitting to return all these years later, and I recall that
Wrighty proposed this idea last year.
Is the walk 3 and a half miles or is it the full old route by
Wrighty? (which I think was 5 miles).
We always used to have events in pubs but have held them in
village halls for the past three years. It's up to you as to
which you think would be better/easier to book at this last
minute! The good thing with the New Inn is that it has a skittle
alley (I think)... so we could have some fun there!
The only other thing involved in setting up the event is having
a couple of activities e.g. Secret Santa. I am happy to help
organise this and write the HTML event page for you if you feel
you'd like the help, BUT just go ahead if not! If you think
you'd need help with any of it, just let us know! :)
As for the date: is that okay for everyone? 29th wouldn't work
for me, but 28th is fine, and maybe the 30th?

Hello,
We think we'll need help with setting up the event page please
(as in we don't have a clue how to do it!) and we just need to
know, do we set up the caches as per usual, or is there a
different format for an event? The 28th or 30th is good for us,
we believe the proposed walk is 3 1/2 miles, having done it
every morning for quite a few years but could make it 5 miles if
people want (depends how much festive fare needs walking off!).
We favour the New Inn as there's a charge for the village hall
and as pointed out, it does have a skittles alley (or did?).
Cheers, Willow Wisps

I'm happy to help with the event page and you can adopt the
event from me afterwards so that it shows as your own on your
profile? Just let me know details about times, car parking,
meet-up time for walk etc.
Caches are set up beforehand BUT not published until early on
the day of the event. Just submit them normally but include a
reviewer note on each cache requesting it to be published at 8am
(for example) on the 28th Dec (for example). The reviewers are
always happy to do this.
Normally Twixmas walks are 4-5 miles-ish so that should be fine
- it's completely up to you!
We normally run a raffle to cover the charge for the village
hall and CacheWalker does have some money left over from past
raffles that could be used to cover any costs. Happy either way!
Feel free to pick the date yourselves etc. - I have a bad
reputation weather-wise when we go for dates I suggest!
