Twixmas 2021

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 optional 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!
Jingle Jingle


09:45 meet for a 10:00 depart for the optional CacheWalker group walk
As with all classic CacheWalker Events, there will be a group walk beforehand, round the village, with some great views (if the weather is kind). To coincide with the Event, some new caches will be released (aren't we lucky?!). The walk is about 3 miles long; please bring a change of footwear to keep the venue clean, just in case of any odd muddy patches but it should be a clean, easy walk. If you are taking your dogs on the walk, please keep them under control and they must be clean before going into the village hall.

11:00 to 13:30 - The Event, at Upper Rissington Village Hall
The Event is in the Main Hall part of Upper Rissington Village Hall, situated within the Cotswold village of Upper Rissington, perched on top of a hill. 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 (hint, hint). 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. Clean dogs are allowed into the main hall part of the village hall.

If you won't be joining us on the optional pre-event group walk, we have the hall booked from 10:30 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 and the start of the Event at 11:00.

Parking: There is a good car park at the village hall, so park well, to get all the cars in.

Other stuff

Covid-19 measures
Currently, the government advice is that this Event can be held but there are measures at the village hall to stop the spread of Covid-19:
  • If you feel unwell or have any symptoms of Covid-19 - please DO NOT attend the Event.
  • While moving about in the village hall - please wear a mask.
  • There is hand sanitizer in the entrance lobby of the village hall - please use.
  • The Main Hall is a large hall with a high ceiling and open ventilation but further windows can be opened.


Caches
As is traditional with CacheWalker Events, new caches will be released on the day.

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.

Other activities
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!
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!**
