The Gauteng CITO event will be held on the 2nd of May 2009 from
10H30 – 15H00 to form part of the celebration of the 7th Annual
International Cache In Trash Out Events that are scheduled for May
2nd & 3rd, 2009 where geocachers have an opportunity to
participate in coordinated worldwide clean-up efforts. Geocachers
host clean-up events in their local area on the same day or weekend
as other geocachers around the world. Together, we make an enormous
positive impact.
We will meet at the listed waypoint close to the parking area at
10H30 and start the cleanup process from this waypoint at 11H00.
The area is very large but we will start in a strait line from the
road and work along the stream between the schools fence and the
houses until about 15H00. With the central location between
Pretoria and Johannesburg we hope to attract most of the Gauteng
geocachers.
The Reeds Wetlands area:
Tshwane resort and park management have appointed The Reeds
Wetland as the area they want the geocachers and helpers on a
cleanup effort. The Reeds Wetland is located next to the Uitsig
Secondary School in a urban area.
What will be provided?
Trash bags will be donated by the Tshwane parks manager. We will
collect all the filled trash bags on the day and dump it at the
nearby Refuse site.
You must bring the following items:
- Bring your own drinking water, as there is no clean drinking
water available.
- Bring your own gloves.
- Bring your own snack, as the day might be long.
- A special stick with a pointy tip is very handy to get trash
out of icky places.
After all the trash bags have been
collected:
We will get together on site for a group photo (with the evidence
from the days successes in the background) and a attendance
register will be signed. (Please note; only teams that formed part
of the cleanup process will be allowed to log a attendance
note)
We will get together again at the Rooihuiskraal Historical
terrain next to the Refuse site (after all the trash bags have been
dropped at the Refuse site) for a “bring and braai” to relax after
the hard days efforts. This “bring and braai” will be at the
“Kleinstal Lapa” inside the Rooihuiskraal Historical terrain. I
will update the waypoint for the change in venue soon. (Thanks John
for the bookings again)
