Labour Day Caching Event (Canterbury) Sydenham, South Island, New Zealand
By Hello Mrs & lytteltonwitch on 27-Oct-08. Waypoint GC1G4EV

Great event time to archive.

Big Thank You to Hello Mrs & lytteltonwitch for organising this event and providing the prizes.

Personal thanks for the draw I won of the 35ml cache. I did find a spare park to put it in in CHCH but was late for a plane So I guess it will have to be in the North Island.

Cheers,
GC.

What? FTL? Wow!
Thanks to the organisers - and as usual - nice to catch up with the old faces, and meet a few new ones.

We had an enjoyable time meeting other cachers. Thanks to Hello Mrs and lytteltonwitch .

Nice to put names to faces (especially those whose caches haunt us ), those we have come to know well, and pleased to see new cachers. Thanks to Hello Mrs and Lyttleton Witch for a great event - you really turned on the weather).

Setting our Polar Bear free and dropping in TBs from our travels so that people can retrieve them. Will log our attended log later!!

Who would have thought we would be enjoying such a beautiful hot sunny day after yesterdays rain and hail. Thankyou everyone who came to the event it was an stunning turnout. Great to see folk from the North Island, the West Coast and down south. Great to see also the folk who came to their first event and many thanks to those who have been around for awhile who were so willing to share their caching experiences. It was great to see the geokiddies and their enthusiasm for finding micro caches. Well done kids. Lytteltonwitch I am sure is much encouraged with the results of her mystery cache so watch this space for the real thing.
Thanks everyone who made a gold coin donation. Your generosity more than covered expenses. Rest assured the extra will go into prizes for our next caching event early next year and a small donation to Kiwicaching. Photos will be downloaded soon.

What a beautiful day and it was great to catch up with everyone.

2313. A great event on an equally beautiful day. Thanks for organising this event - the location was first class, especially as it allowed the children to play safely and enjoy the day.

Thanks from us all
Iris, Rodney & Stella

Attended this one with Moneydork.

I had forgotten to log my attendance at this event. Was going through SI logs and catching up and realised my mistake. A very enjoyable afternoon and great to get out and do some group caching. Met lots of lovely people (cachers) but aren't we all. A big belated thanks to LyttletonWitch and Hello Mrs.

great day sorry a bit late logging
thanks froogal

Great event, and good to meet new, and catch up with familiar, faces. A nice afternoon out all round - thanks for organising it! Cheers Gav [2684]

Really great to meet 'old' and new faces and exchange a few bits of information here and there. We were particularly pleased to meet the Sallies, with whom we have emailed since earlier in our newbie caching career!! (And cool looking shirts they had too..... )
Thank you so much to the event organisers, and we hope we can make it to another event over your way sometime.
We dropped off a few TBs and picked up a coin.

Great weekend meetup. Thanks LW and HM for organising this chance to get together again.

Great to meet so many faces of legendary names as well as relative newbies like ourselves. Good to see the techno gadgets that could make life for the non-GPS team member happier! I'll look "under the tree" for my new cache finder! Think I'll put the Xmas tree up early! Thanks to organisers!!

A great excuse to catch up,swap ideas and to finally start to put faces to user names. Great to meet some of them and a good opportunity to seek caches in a new area.
Thanks for your efforts

16:14 Great, well organised event. Met everyone, nice to meet some new people and other cachers that I had heard of but, again, not met. And old friends Third event for me in the area in 6 weeks - addicted? No way! Hope to see you all again soon. Even signed the log!

It was great to catch up with every one, including those from afar.
The event was very well run - well done.

What a great day [^] well organised, great company and even after attending several events since starting caching still managed to meet a handfull (or more) of new cachers

Time for a big pat on the back...

Thanks

Awsome event, Great to put faces to names. TFTevent

Great weather, great turnout and a well organised event, couldn't wish for more. Many thanks to Hello Mrs and lyttletonwitch, I thoroughly enjoyed this event.

Pleased to catch up with those I know plus meet some new faces (I certainly knew the names) but sadly missed meeting some others. Hopefully another time.

Won't, now, be able to attend. We will be visiting my folks in Blenheim.
I feel a caching run coming on!

An event I can possibly get to! I will have to talk to the Mrs-Organist to see if leaving Baby-Organist and Toddler-Organist with her is an option

3 Events within 80km and all within a month Will do my best to attend all, hope to see you there

Looking forward to this, so hope the stars are right for us to attend.

Sorry - I won't be able to be there, as I'll be in Dunedin for my daughter's wedding!! (Pssst! - hope to pick up a few Dunedin caches while I'm there, of course)

Flights booked - down Sunday am (early) and back Tuesday. Need to hunt up a bed now. Will be 2nd trip in October and the 3rd in 2 months... Must be the Christchurch Air! Need wine coordinates this time...
