Hello I'm just updating the [url=http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=947174fe-c664-4ae9-bcee-3ea3848dba2f]All events in VIC[/url] bookmark list and I think it's time for this one to move to the archive.

time to go

As there is still some people to log this event I am disabling it, so it wont show up in PQs

Found with 6Hinemoa2 on a caching weekend. Sorry about the short note. She is logging for me.

A lovely day, perfect weather! BBQ was awesome, great to have a chat about our favorite hobby! Thanks to all involved in organising!!!

Sorry for the late log.
Was great to finally get to some St Arnaud events.
Great to meet up with old friends and new.
Thanks for arranging this FUF
.....until next year!

As always, it was lovely to catch up with the all familiar faces, and to meet some newbies, attending their first event. The BBQ was delightful, the weather was awesome, the location was perfect. Many Thanks to FUF009 for organising this event, and for the array of new caches that you'd helped to put out for this weekend. I'll be back another time to get those special recognition also to Tyred'n'Cranky, for helping with getting this all organised today. Thanks again, Cheers, Lisa

Our appreciationand thanks to FUF009 and everyone who helped out for organising a great event .

We were only too pleased to attend and help FUF009 with his event.
Taking part by running the BBQ we get to see all the cachers both old and new, and we had a great time in meeting everyone.
Thanks FUF009 for putting this event on.

Enjoyed the lunch and meeting up with fellow geocaches. Thanks for putting on the event.

What a great day for a lunchtime event. Sun was shining, lunch was cooked and plenty of old and new cachers to chat with. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks to Simon for hosting this event, and to Flo and Wayne for helping out.

Yet another great day in St Arnaud. A bit of caching in the morning, then this fun event for lunch. Had a terrific time catching up with old friends and chatting to new ones. Your attention to detail in providing for everything was appreciated. Thank you FUF009.

After last year we decided we a lot of fun and that we would do it again this year. we picked up Sharkiefan on the way up and got to the event in good time, noting a pretty large turnout this year however the culinary skills of Flo, Wayne and Simon shone through and the sausages, hamburgers and coleslaw were excellent.
Eventually we headed off for caching adventures with Wazza and Wenches and Sharkiefan for the afternoon before heading back later for the dinner event.
Our thanks to Flo, Wayne and Simon for the event.
Regards
The "put me down for next year" Coffee's

Well, what a great day for an event. Plenty of both new and old faces to catch up with. Great tucker (thanks Flo and Wayne). Great prizes. And heaps of great caches in and around the town.
Great to meet FUF and parents. Also great to have a chat with Sue, Val, Sally and a few others I haven't spoken to for a while.

Spent the afternoon with The Coffees and Sharkiefan completing the FBT series along with a few others in the area.

Thank you for organising the event FUF009.
This was our 41st Event attendance, our #3063rd smiley and 28th of 60 smilies for the day.

This was one of the best organised and friendly events that I have attended. You endeavored to make every one feel welcome, provided coffee, food and TB lists and still manged to smile and offer help to lost souls. The venue was perfect.
It was a great touch to have everybody introduce themselves at the FTF draw. I haven't seen that happen before and nice to be able to put names to faces.
Thankfully I was travelling in more comfort than on previous visits to this great town. (Sorry I missed the Saints and Sinners event last week.)
Look out next year you have set yourselves a very high standard to beat. Many thanks for such great effort here.

Attended by Roma and Max.
Thank you Simon for a repeat of last years very successful event, a perfect venue, good food, and the opportunity to meet new and catch up with many geocaching friends.
Well done,
from Romax.

It was nice to catch up with old friends and make new acquaintances over a Coffee and a snag.
Thanks to Flo, Wayne and Simon for putting on this very well run Event.
Looking forward to next year.

After a full on morning finding geocaches we made it to this event for a much needed break, refuel on sausages, give the kids a chance to run around and catch up with other geocachers which was alot of fun. Thanks for all the effort in making this event happen FUF009, we really appreciated it.

Once again I would like to thank all that attended the lunch in St.Arnaud event. It was great to catch up with both new faces and the old friends, last year (2013) there was 17 people that attended my first event but this year we topped the 40 mark. WOW, how big will next year be?

Also a big thankyou to my parents Tyred n Cranky (Wayne and Flo, or should that be Flo and Wayne) for cooking up the snags and burgers and helping me out for the day.

and we hope you all had an enjoyable day caching along St.Arnaud's first trail. Time to start planning for next year.

There is nothing better than attending two events in one day and overnighting in the town.
It was great to catch up with lots of familiar faces from the past and not so distant past.
The weather was perfect and the BBQing superb.
Thanks for hosting this one FUF009

Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you so much for all your efforts

Great day

Thanks for putting the Event on FUF009.

Today has to be one of the most enjoyable days I've had in a long while. Starting with a mid morning pick up by TheCoffees and then this well organized lunch. I will travel a long way for a bbq and this didn't disappoint. I have had a brilliant day in your town and hope to return soon.
Thank you for the event and for the 3TF prize.

Thanks Simon (FUF009) for putting on a great day and thanks also to Wayne and Flo (Tired n Cranky) for the cooking...the food was yum! It was nice to be able to put a face to some of the names that one sees in the logs regularly. Looking forward to next year's event!!

Thank you so much for hosting this great event, meeting old friends and putting faces to names we had only seen on logs or corresponded with was a bonus. The food was great and Muggle Hubby thanks you for the prize he won. The new series you put out was a wonderful accompaniment to the event as well, congratulations on a mammoth effort

Thanks for a well run event with lots of nice folks

Looks like this Event is close to my flight path for tomorrow, so I'll drop in to say Hi.

Much apologies from Kobione and the 3 Cachehounds. I only got back from a UK trip yesterday, and am not feeling 100%.

We were really looking forward to participating in this event, and meeting up with our Geo-friends, and are thoroughly disappointed at not being able to attend.

Thanks for your great efforts in organising this event FUF009, and Tyred n Cranky, I'm sure you will receive many comments of appreciation, and they are well ddeserved.

Hope the day goes well for all concerned and attending.
