It's a bit early to start talking about this, but always good to get discussion going and ideas bouncing about 

With regards to the date, we could go with Sunday 27th Dec OR Sunday 3rd Jan - depending on whether the Imber event clash bothers us?

No idea at the moment when it comes to the venue. Think the village hall format works well, but then again it's always nice to have an event in a pub so I'd be happy to arrange things as I did in 2012 if that's what we want

If we're too busy to place caches this time round, I recall that Marrow Bone emailed StrongsRus (who forwarded it to me) offering to place a series for a future CW event, so I could contact him to see if he's still interested?

Looking forward to your comments 

With family, it's not until a few weeks before Christmas I know what I'm doing but we normally have a get together on Boxing Day and then another day upt norf, before heading back down. So, the 27th might not be possible for me.

The imber event has been published, 27th December

Sunday January 3rd

Fine with me 👍

Has anyone got an idea with regards to location?

I guess the best way of thinking about it is working out where we'll place the caches - I suppose we could walk my new series, as I'll hopefully have time to place it before - but, then again, maybe not as I will be very busy in the coming weeks and it could be an extra stress.

Also, the problem with group walks is that hardly anyone gets to see the caches, and there were going to be a few special ones on the series, so that's the only thing which makes me think perhaps this isn't the sort of series for an event, especially since the route is 6.2 miles - we normally say 5ish max! 

If anyone was planning something slightly shorter, we could have a look for a venue around there?

I've had my thinking cap on as well but no luck yet.

Will any of us be able to place the caches? If so then we can find a location that way, but if not I can email Marrow Bone to see if he still can, as he offered months ago.

Also: January 3rd. I suggested this date, and every other date I have suggested has brought bad weather along with it. Should we change it? 

Not as yet, been more thinking about: GIFF, our village bonfire night, new village hall and not been caching for a while

I'm just wondering, were you planning to potentially place some caches for this one @walktall, @Wrighty, or anyone else?

Don't worry if not, it's just so that I can give Marrow Bone a more concrete answer if none of us can do it
