Great to meet up with so many old and new geocaching faces. Thanks to boxhill for another well organised and fun event.

Thank you! I really enjoyed this - it was only my second event cache, and my first in Wellington. Had a great afternoon chatting to fellow cachers, sharing our stories and experiences. Nice to put some faces to names too! Will have arrive a bit earlier next time - got carried away with pre-caching adventures beforehand - as you do... Thanks again

Thanks for putting on another event Boxhill, good to meet some new people and catch up with others.

Hello! Had a really nice time. Thank you, Boxhill, for organising. Would have stayed longer but it had been a long afternoon of searching for treasure! So tired that I didn't realise there was a cache close by to be had! Will have to trek out to Khandallah soon. Thanks

Thanks Boxhill for arranging another catchup with fellow cachers and a chance to mull over a few nemesis puzzles. Great to meet some new people.

Good to catch up with some familiar faces. Another good turnout for a boxhill event. Many thanks for organising.

Triple bling earned at this event as it was the last of my August souvenirs collected. which additionally unlocked the Achiever souvenir, and of course I also qualified for the International Geocaching Day souvenir. A great turnout with more people I hadn't meet than those I knew, this is becoming a popular hobby! Many thanks Boxhill for organizing another enjoyable event!

Logged while enjoying refreshments. Have found a puzzle, a multi, a letterbox, a traditional, an earthcache and an event cache all since 2pm this afternoon.

Thanks for organising this event, boxhill. That makes a record 5 cache types in one day for me. TFTE

Great to be able to meet some fellow geocachers! TFTC boxhill for organising

A real flying visit from us lot. Thanks for organising.

A very enjoyable event and one of the best-attended that I have been to in Wellington. Great to talk to both old and new faces and particularly good to meet the New Plymouth group! I had hoped to put even more names to new faces but still seem to have missed a few that I had wanted to meet. Better luck next time. Thanks Boxhill for organising, it was great!

Great to catch up with everyone. Good to see everybody enjoying themselves. This wraps up the souvenirs series for me as well. At a rough first count there are 60 plus names in the log book. Thanks to everyone for coming. Until next time Cheers

Attended this event today and found everyone I knew plus a few new faces. TFTE Boxhill, will be here next year!

Our first ever event and our first chance to put faces to names. A pleasant hour or so, and especially nice to bump into an old school friend who I didn't know is in on the game. Also won one of Boxhill's geocoin spot prizes - thanks Boxhill!

August souvenir number 6 (and 7!) and find #300.

Thanks Boxhill for organising.

Great to meet up with some old friends and meet a few new Geocachers as well. Thanks boxhill for organising this event. After we left we went for a bit of a local caching walk as well in a new area for us.

Thought I was one of the first to arrive - but see 15 geocachers attended this event yesterday??

Nice event and friendly people
Thanks Geoff, take care of yourself.

Kids birthday party and netball meant for a late arrival, however it was still good to catch up with a few cachers. Thanks for organising Boxhill, and look after yourself. Cheers, waiiti20

Many thanks Boxhill for organising another enjoyable event. Great to catch up with other known cachers, and to match up a few more faces with caching identities! A very good way to reach 1700 caches. And for the record, I also dragged Mel0n with me.

Arrived towards the end after finding the required caches for the month. Many thanks for organising the get-together.

Infoferret dragged me along. Hi Folks!

#1006 Happy International Geocaching Day!! After a lovely walk over at Wainui and finding GC46 for our milestone of #1000 both members of Skaga attended this event. Great turn out and lovely to meet some fellow addicts. Always nice to put names to faces too. Thanks for organising, boxhill.

Thanks for the event. Great to meet the people and faces behind the puzzles and logs

What a great turnout. Thoroughly enjoyed getting to know more fellow cachers and sharing some geo-stories. Also great to meet those who take the time to place caches for the geocaching community to enjoy. Many thanks Boxhill for organising such a successful event and for a hint on a nemesis cache I shall enjoy logging a smiley on soon.

it was my first event today! and i had a blast! was great to put names to faces nice to meet you all! thanks boxhill for putting this together!

Another great event and good to meet new and old cachers, including an old school friend! Thanks once again boxhill, and we look forward to seeing you out and about again. TFTE

Thanks for enjoyable event. Good show; good venue; well hosted.

Hi there

Those of you who want the IGD souvenir and have not found another cache today you need to change your attended log date to the 16th.

Cheers boxhill

Always good to catch up. Nice to see a number of newbies attending. Thanks boxhill...especially for the raffle prizes.

Nice to catch up with the usual suspects and a few new cachers. Thanks for organising this and arranging for a couple of prizes to come our way. Happy caching to you all.

TB dropped off.

Apologies for not making it back from Palmerston in time to make this one. Hope all went well.

Thanks Boxhill for organising the meet and to meet you in person. Nice also to meet a few others and share experiences.

Nice to catchup with various people. Until the next one, Ciao

That was a big event especially considering turnover during the official three hours. The party was still going strong when I left at 5pm. Thanks boxhill.

P.S. The last of my seven cache types in one day.

Coming from a work commitment meant I was a little late, but the event was still in full swing. Nice to catch up some of the old hands and meet a couple of newer ones too. Good to get this event under the belt as it gives 3 souvenirs - the 6th cache type for August, unlocking the 7th souvenir and of course the IGD one as well.

Thanks boxhill for another good one.

Thanks Boxhill for organising another great event.

Well attended event.Thanks Boxhill for organising.

Awesome to meet some of the faces behind the logs. Arrived late due to being out caching and lost track of the time but it was great to see you all.

I'm trusting I post an attended log since I popped in. My first time attending one, thanks for organizing

It was great to pop in briefly and catch up with a few people.

Was great to pop in and meet some new people. Thanks Boxhill for organising.

Will try to be there

Hi everyone,

I take it we are all set for the weekend. I have been into the KTC to give them advance warning of our visit. There will be some tables set aside for us. Look for the ones with Jeff on them.

Attendees are reminded that they need to register their attendance by clearly signing the log book on the day. I will be scrutinising this to make sure that online logs are backed up by a signature in the book. People logging online who have not signed the log book at the event will have their log deleted. Given the added status of the souvenir that comes with this year’s event this will be rigorously enforced.

People are welcome to bring along coins and trackables to discover or trade. But there will be no trackable table, and I will not be reasonable for any left behind at the end of the event.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone, see you there.

Unfortunately Tan1aNZ and I won't be making it this weekend. Looks like you'll have another great crowd, so hope everyone has a great time, and we'll see you all next time.
We'll be enjoying the IGD in Perth this year.

Hope to be able to attend - will be my first event.

Hoping to make it.

Hope to make it but will need to check with the PA first.

Hope to be there to get another badge for the month

Plan to be there, look forward to a catch up.

Hoping to be back in town to attend.

Expecting to be there, may have a couple of kids in tow.

Looking forward to it

Looking forward to meeting other Geocachers

Looking forward to it

Definitely!

And others to stake our last of the 7doa claim:-)

I will be attending the event with my Family. Thanks Boxhill

Planning to attend

I intend to be there, hopefully with Barnacle Boy in tow. Looking forward to meeting some folks.

The wife has marked the day on the calendar

I should make it, but unfortunately Princess-Emily has a prior social engagement.

Might attend my first event exited!

We'll be back at home then, so two to attend

Coming down with some fellow cachers to attend

Hope to drag some combination of the Orsome4some along although one member has to play netball at the same time so it will be a brief visit.

Looking forward to meet some other geocachers in the area. See you all there

I will attend - thank you - and hopefully drag a few other beginners along
