This has been a complaint of cachers, that reviewers are consistent.
  ::)

Are NOT consistent. Or Are INconsistent.

Hooray! It's published.  ;D  ;D  ;D
I have left out the walk  so everybody let's meet at 10 for 10.30 for a 3.5 mile walk - there MAY BE (cough cough) 15 new caches .

Do I need to put this on a new thread ?

Can anyone see any objections to an announcement

- ' Some of the Cachewalkers will be meeting for a group walk 10 for 10.30 All  are welcome to join in'
Or something like that?

Brilliant you got it published.  ;D
What did the reviewer object to about the walk, when other reviewers in previous years have been OK with how it was worded?

I would put it as an announcement and closer to the date with (hopefully) lots of 'will attend', announce it again :)

Event page looks good, well done  ;D

Does this mean, having now read the Event page, that the Event officially starts at the same time as we go for a wonder ???

It seemed easier to start at the walk time as we had to omit the walk in the listing to give people a chance to come on time. We have booked the hall from 10 anyway.
The original wording they objected to was copied and pasted from the 2013 event for both the pre- event walk and the raffle so who knows.
As the time is so short, I thought it was better to comply for now....

Yes :)

If I were you I'd just edit it in so it's clearer for everyone reading the page :) Announce it too! :)

The page looks great, you've done a good job! I'll link to it on the forum and our Twitter feed later!

Oh, just noticed: being picky, but please may you capitalise the 'w' in 'Cachewalker'  :D

About to publicise the event  ;D

Aaaaaaaaghhh!  >:( >:( >:( :(  :(
The reviewer spotted the edit so I have removed it under threat of being archived.
I have sent him the GC codes of previous events but he seems decided.

Well, next time I do an Event that includes a walk, I can see I'm going to have a disagreement and I'll push the reviewer.

My last Event, Ice Mob Event, the reviewer said I needed to remove the word 'Ice' due to the link with the popular Ice Bucket challenge but I refused as the Event wasn't raising money and there were no links to any charity. They gave in :)

No point in quoting previous caches, the reviewer will quote the "Precedent" guideline.

Suggestion. (As events are supposed to be about the meet, and not caching - according to the guidelines)

Quote
Other stuff:

Caches
As is traditional with CacheWalker events, new caches may be released on the day. There are a few existing caches nearby.

Remove the "New caches" bit. May be better to remove all mention of caches...

You could try adding: "There will be a walk prior to the event, for those that wish to work up an appetite..." But keep it BELOW the event details...


Last ditch attempt is to post walk details in a log... They seem to be exempt from being part of the 'Listing' may need to be repeated if lots of cachers log a Will Attend, and could be less trouble if one of the other CacheWalkers post it...

the reviewer was ok with new caches MAYBE released on the day
I like the idea of another CacheWalker posting a note to see if anyone wants to join them for a walk 10.30 ish  - feel free anyone!
