Does anyone know if there are any raffle tickets left over from last year or do we need to buy some new ones? The event has gone to the reviewer and the trail is laid!

Pleased to say new series sent for review. Hopefully to be published at 8am on the 28th. This is my first set of caches and hoping that I do not live to regret this! Be gentle. This has been a joint effort with strongsRus and Rusty Tin Man. Look forward to seeing folks on the day.   :o :o :o

It'll be fine, the important thing is that you put your hand up and volunteered.

I congratulate you for that and look forward the 28th. That reminds me I must have a look where Shenington is.

There are two used raffle ticket books which would do another raffle, I've got them :)

Brilliant you both stepped up to the mark, well done in organising the Event and new caches  ;D

If you were wondering about timing, i.e. when to start the walk and time you get back for the Event, we've found that 2 mph works well for a geocache route.

If you need any help, do ask. Failing any issues, I'll be there on the 28th :)

When I was looking round for a home in this area (North Cotswold), one place I went was Epwell, not far from Shenington.
Lets go for a CacheWalker

I too am very grateful to @strongsRus and @Calabrian Dreamer  ;D

Unless anything else pops up before then (unlikely) you'll have the honor of organising our 25th event  :)

We sent it to the reviewer on Monday - can we chase them?

I don't think the 2 weeks deadline should be a problem as the event was submitted for review well before the 2 weeks

Are you sure it's properly submitted  ???

Based on caches I've submitted, I haven't seen them take this long even when it gives the warning that they may take up to a week  :o And presumably event caches take priority in the queue...

I'd chase it if it were me - who's the reviewer for that area  ???

We have been in touch with the reviewer, there were a couple of issues which we think we have resolved so hopefully it shouldn't be too long now....
It is our first event and we didn't have time to scrutinise all the rules - sorry!
