Geocache Description:


It's that time of year again Twixmas! This calls for another CacheWalker bash!
Everyone is welcome to attend, cachers old and new; come along for a cracking pre-event group walk and an enjoyable event, complete with all the geocaching chit-chat and festive antics you could desire - this is an event you won't want to miss, so, if you're working, make sure THIS is the day you book off!

Twixmas 2013


09:45 meet for a 10:00 depart for the CacheWalker group walk
As with all classic CacheWalker events, there will be a group walk beforehand - To coincide with the event, a new series of Wrighty caches will be released (aren't we lucky?!) The walk is 4.5 miles long; please bring a change of footwear to keep the venue clean, there will be the odd muddy patches.

12:30 to 15:00 - The event, Adlestrop Village Hall, Adlestrop
Once we return from the pre-event group walk, the big event will begin in Adlestrop Village Hall, situated within the picturesque Cotswold village of Adlestrop, which nestles below the hills. This year we've decided to do things a little differently, is this the first Twixmas Bash EVER not to be set in a pub?! Make sure you save those Christmas leftovers and bring them along (in whichever form you like,) ready to lunch on during the event! In addition to this, there may even be some mince pies brought along. There is a well-stocked kitchen at the hall: plates, cups, cutlery, microwave, cooker, etc. and a fridge if anyone wants to leave something there before the walk.

If you won't be joining us on the pre-event group walk, we have the hall booked from 10:00 and as long as we have a volunteer on the kettle, you're more than welcome to gather inside and have a warm cuppa as you wait for us to return - there may well be a new cache 'n' dash in the village for you to have a go at, too!

Parking: There is a small car park at the village hall, so we may need to block each other in, to get all the cars in. Please DO NOT park on the grass at the village hall.

Make sure you scroll down to see what exciting festive antics we've planned for the day...

Caches
As is traditional with CacheWalker events, new caches will be released on the day. As well as the new series of caches for the pre-event walk (see above) there are already quick caches in the vicinity and we might be placing a new cache 'n' dash or two...

Secret Santa
If you wish to join in, please purchase an item, preferably Geocaching related (that you would want to receive!) for around £5. On arrival please drop your wrapped gift into Santa's sack and enter your name slip in the lock 'n' lock box. Each present will be selected and a name drawn from the box! PLEASE DO NOT ENTER YOUR NAME IN THE DRAW IF YOU DO NOT GIVE A GIFT, we don't want any disappointments at Christmas time!

Santa's Raffle
In order to help fund costs for the event, a raffle will be taking place. If you can bring along a wrapped gift, ideally Geocaching related (that you would want to receive!) that would be great. On arrival, please put your wrapped gift on Santa's Raffle table. THEN DON'T FORGET TO PURCHASE A RAFFLE TICKET.

CacheWalker Footballer's Challenge (CWFC) LAUNCH
To coincide with the 2014 World Cup, the CacheWalker SuperBike Challenge is transforming in to the CacheWalker Footballer's Challenge - at next year's Twixmas Bash, the footballer with the greatest mileage and the first to make it to Brazil, will each win a prize. If you'd like to take part, make sure find Wrighty at the event who'll have a footballer ready for you to attach to your Travel Bug and release in to the wild at your leisure but sooner the better/further!

Other activities
Awards - It's time to lower the chequered flag on this year's record-breaking CacheWalker SuperBike Challenge and declare the winners, before issuing the prizes. Also an opportunity for anyone to join us for next year's race, CWFC - see above. Plus, the winners of the CacheWalker Forum Awards will be revealed.
FTF draw - all attendees will automatically be entered into a draw for FTF of the event. As well as bragging rights, the winner will also go home with a little prize!
Fun and games - the village hall houses a table tennis and pool table as well as a dart board... so if there's enough time (and space!) we may have a couple of games!
TB/GC Swapping and Spotting - As usual, there will be time for trackable swapping and spotting why not drop your TBs in the box for another cacher to pick up and move on?
Fancy dress is optional but it would be nice to have some attendees festively dressed, as perhaps some of the organizers will be?

Disclaimer
All the usual blahdy, blah, blah which means you do everything at your own risk and we are responsible for absolutely nothing (including the weather). If you don't feel safe doing it, then don't do it. Simples!

**Remember this is an EARLY LISTING - please watch and check this page for any updates and announcements as we get closer to the event!**
Merry Christmas!
