Geocaching International Film Festival Event 2018
Having never been to a GIFF event we were keen to attend one this year. Unfortunately, the weekend of 8 - 12 November 2018 is already quite busy. We contacted the CO of the previous local GIFF events to try to influence the date of GIFF 2018. However it transpired that, for this year only, he was more than happy to pass the organising baton on to us - we hope that we can do him justice!!
This event is being held to showcase the exploits of this year’s finalists of the Geocaching International Film Festival. Come along and be amongst the first geocachers in Ireland to see the films that reached the 2018 Geocaching International Film Festival. The film runs for approximately 60 minutes and is suitable for children.
While you're there, you can meet new friends, catch up with old ones, discover and exchange travel-bugs and pick up a hint or two that you need to turn that DNF into a smiley.
When: Monday 12th November 2018.
Where: Function Room 2, Londonderry Park Sports Pavilion, Portaferry Road, Newtownards.
