THE sp"RING" Bash
(September 2007)
DATE: Sunday 9th September
2007
Firstly we'd like to
say a HUGE thanks to everyone who came along. We were expecting
about 100 people and the turn out phenomenal with 111 people (with
3 teams at the last moment not being able to make it). I am going
to keep it short and simple so below are the interesting statistics
for those who want to see it all and the positions of all the
winners. There were 33 teams overall.
For those of you who want a list of the TB numbers, please drop me
an email and I will forward you the list of numbers that you can
discover. Please give me a short while to get this in order. You
can drop an email to " geo@crystalfairy.co.za " with
any comments (positive or negative) so that the next event (which
is a while away - we think its time some other teams let us compete
for a while :-) ) can be even better.
Finally a BIG thanks to "The Ring ", "GSAK", "Ananzi", "Tracks 4
Africa" and "Magicom" (in no particular order) for making this
event possible and for sponsoring all the incredible prizes along
with people teams like LeonW and Not Blonde and fellow cachers from
Canada sponsoring hampers and geo-coins.
We thought we would share a few "general knowledge" answers with
you from the results and the team names. (Just for fun)
