A night of care, frivolity and catch up of those we see sometimes and others we don't see enough. Thank you for this event. The new format was very different and I appreciate not having to sit outside !! Meals were great and an effort to make the night appreciated.

After a cold wet afternoon watching netball I was glad to get into the warm and early enough to have a coffee before the event starting time.

A fun night catching up with lots of friends and enjoying the slide show of all the interesting highly favourited caches, some of which I have found and many I will have to add to my list of must do caches.

Thanks to SA Geocaching for organising the event and a very enjoyable format.

Headed into Town today to attend the Saga's. After a wet day caching we attended this excellent event, caught up with others and had a great meal! TFTE

An excellent event, with good food, good people and a great presentation.
Many thanks to SA Geocaching and all who helped make it happen.

Found after the Everyone needs lunch, right? event. I attended with Mogni. Stayed for about 30 minutes and talked to some cachers, enjoyed a beer and then battled the thunderstorm on the way back home.
Found with Mogni. We came down today to complete some Adventure labs stages we started last time we were in the area, do some other adventure labs from start to finish, we also attended a couple of events, a got a wherigo on my last calendar day in any calendar month or year ( 31 out of 31 ), plus we got a reasonable number of puzzles, multi's and trads along the way while going from cache to cache. I also got to clear a couple of DNF's since they have been replaced since by last visit. The rain held off for most of the day, just a few patches of rain till we were at the SAGA dinner event.

What a great night. Excellent presentation by presenters (and ppt Bek) that kept us all guessing. I think this is the first of many such nights. Great venue that was cosy and protected us from the harsh night outside! Good service by venue staff.

Clear skies. Also well done to all the nominated cache places. The game continues.! ????

Thanks for a great night! Putting together the presentation had me wanting to get out caching... which is really what it's all about! Great food, great company, and warm. Perfect. Looking forward to finding some of the highlighted caches and then doing it all again for the SAGAs next year

Dropped in for a quick visit, being double booked for the evening. Reading through the logs it looks like it was a great night. Thanks for organising the event SA Geocaching!

Geocache # 3420 Event # 138

Thanks to SAGA for organising the Event.

I must say it was Fine Elsewhere on the night.

Peas&Carrots had a very enjoyable evening, chatting to fellow geocachers. Venue, meals and service was amazing. We loved discovering the new caches to find via the presentation. We'll have to hook up the van and do some more travelling, we think. TFTE SA Geocaching

Event #4 of 4 today!

My first SAGA Awards night despite having been a player for almost four years now, so the change in format was a bit lost on me.

I liked the choice of venue, and enjoyed the presentation - it’s a pity that most of the COs getting accolades weren’t actually present, but I’m sure it will all filter back to them.

Unfortunately I had to cut the evening short because of a second commitment, but be assured I enjoyed my time there.

Thanks for all this SAGA/SA Geocaching.

I had never been to one of the awards events but I do love the idea of highlighting caches instead.

It was good to see some YP cachers down here and some new faces as well.

I finally got to meet *Cache_or_Check* after it being just a name I saw. A pleasure.

Speaking of which, CoC did an extremely amazing job at the event. Very well presented. Well done to the entire committee for getting this all set up for us.

The hardwork in the background often goes unnoticed but everyone did a fantasic job and I've now got to make a trip out to the NTA trail it seems.

Was good to hear some insight from some of the cache owners as well which were present.

BFE also did a good segment at the end.

Thanks to all who worked hard to get this event organised. A nice venue as well.

I stayed for a while for some chats, thankfully by APD wasn't causing any issues so I could talk to everyone and hear without problem which is often an issue I have at crowded indoor events.

Thanks for getting us all together! See you in 2 years.

A very successful ‘new format’ SAGA!
The committee enjoyed putting it all together and it all clicked on the night.
I loved the impromptu discussions and open conversations and I’m pretty sure the event will be back in a similar format in the future!
Thank you all for attending and a big thanks to Seven 22 for hosting us.

It was great to catch up with those who don't go to other regular events.

Thank you for highlighting awesome caches. Some I have found and others are now a "must do" to go find ??

Thanks for hosting this event.

A great event, thanks to all who arranged and presented. It was a great evening, nice to catch up with so many.

A great event. It was a good too chat and see some great caches that have been hidden in the last couple years. I also enjoyed my chicken schnitzel with pepper gravy.

A big Saturday adventure with sir_spectre grabbing a few more caches and for me revisiting a few old haunts. A great fun day, finishing with an event.
Thanks for all who placed and maintained caches for us to find.

Well that’s a first!
Today I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner with the same people. Does this mean they are family? I guess so, they are my geocaching family ??
A very enjoyable night, lovely meal, fantastic company and the highlighting of some special caches made for future adventures. My list of to do’s continues to grow with more travel on the cards.
I now look forward to next years presentation.

Mrs Bee had a busy few weeks in the lead upto the SAGAs. She busily caught a train to the prequels where she and Sneaky looked dodgy as they talked all things SAGA.
Mrs Bee then headed out caching with a few others to find some caches in the CBD then her and AllisterW headed west to find some more before lunch.
After lunch Mrs Bee tried to do an adlab arghh so a few humble cachers opted to give advice. Finally with that secured it was rimw to head off and find some more caches before we headed to the final event.

Mrs Bee loved co hosting with Cache_or_Check and appreciated all the support of the committee SneakySqueaky and BektheRacoon in pulling together the new format SAGAs.

Mrs Bee loved that it highlighted caches that many where not expecting and I look forward to the hides over the next 12 months. Get out there check our regional SA

Of course MrsBee loved hugs and chats with cachers she had not seen for a while some she had never met and some she just saw at lunch.

Happy hiding and Happy Caching

Great way to finish the day off with a good meal with Friends and finding some more caches to put on the must do list.

Thanks all involved in organising and presenting the event and thanks to all these who placed these amazing caches highlighted tonight.

This was a fantastic eye opener to geocaching in South Australia. You guys & girls are all so highly inspiring & share a lot of interesting, educational & fun experiences, tips & stories. I feel empowered to be part of a supportive & strongly like-minded community. Let's go, girls (& guys )

I travelled 6.5 hours to get to the event tonight. It was so nice catching up with lots of friends & geobuddies.
The slide show of favourite caches was good to see & lots of cache of the month candidates.
Thanks to the committee for organising the event.

A great event enjoyed with many! ??

Great to get an overview of some amazing caches! Some I've found and others I'm now set to go find!

Keep up the great work and see you all at the next SA Geocaching Celebration (SAGA) event, but not before The Great Leap Forward Mega event on February 29, 2024. GCA1DNA in Adelaide, South Australia ??

Today is all about the numbers!! 8 caches/ALs to get to a milestone tonight (5000)

And the magic 5000 clicks over after almost 11 years. And what a night out. Well done to the team who organised/presented/talked/contributed. Nice format and great turnout!

As a lover of stats it was pretty cool to see how the Wilson method used came up with the highlights of the last few years. Looking forward to revisiting Nuriootpa and Murray Bridge in the next few months. I spotted my trainee Sam, plotting her visit to Log This.
