Welcome to the 119th Hampshire Monthly Mid-Week and Christmas 2018 Cache Event to be held at The Half Moon, Sheet on Wednesday 12th December 2018

The Half Moon 32 London Road Sheet Petersfield GU31 4BE

I have spoken with the staff and they are looking forward to welcoming us back for what we all hope will be another special Christmas Event at this popular venue

We have the use of the function suite which can sit one hundred, so there should be more than enough room for the anticipated attendees.

There is a Food & Drink Menu available to choose from, which should be ordered on the night. If you can post Will Attend (and whether you will be eating) logs as soon as you decide to come that will enable us to tell the pub some idea of numbers

There will be a Christmas raffle and the treasure chest will be available for swapping and discovering Geocoins and Travel Bugs

There will be plenty of opportunity to exchange caching stories and prise hints out of fellow cachers about the local puzzles, so please do come along and celebrate the festive season with caching friends old and new.

If you have not been to an event cache before, would like to experience something different, and have the chance to meet other cachers then please come along.

You can be assured of a warm welcome, officially we will be there from 6.30pm until 9pm. but there are always early birds and late finishers!
