to celebrate Sun, Sea & Sand Saturday!

This is an organised event and will be a friendly Art competition!

Bring your own stick , sand will be provided.

If you want to bring gloves face masks, armour, feel free, but were not carrying it for you!

Protection should not be required, however sand can be blown out of control in exposed areas!

Organisers and Geocaching.com, can not be responsible if injury occurs.

You attend at your own risk.

It's cold in Winter, especially with the icy winds,

so wrap up warm and bring a flask with a hot drink!

Wellies may be required as well, as sand shifts may leave water pools to cross to get to GZ.

 

Parking in the car park, which at the time of event being published was free.

Access via the right of the pub up the sandy track and follow 1km to the beach.

Then keep walking out to the coords.

REMEMBER !!!

Coords may change when we get more info on low/high tides,

so watch the listing for an announcement!

** This event will be held on the sand, not in the water**

If it rains or it's cloudy, we will still be in attendance.

A prize will be given for the winner.

 

What's happening & The Rules:

Registration will take place from 11.45am to 11.50pm so please do not be late.

11.50-12.00 walk to GZ and at 12.00 the competition will commence.

Use your stick to mark a 1metre wide x 0.5 metre high rectangle.

This will be your frame.

Now draw your own picture in the box relating to any geocaching theme into the sand.

Digging For Treasure

You have 20 minutes.

At 12.20 the judge will shoot anyone who is still drawing.

Then the judging will take place.

The winner will be the person who is judged to be a show off.

Bonus points awarded for home made cakes that are used to bribe the judge.

The loser's will be all the people who are not the winner. (No appeals)

The winner will continue to be the winner, until next year when the 9th annual event takes place and then they will be forgotten all about as a new winner of a new competition will have taken place. We cant have 2 winners, can we?

so, on, etc, etc etc...

At the end, of the competition, we will all run naked into the sea (Oh yer right! its too cold).
