Still one beautiful looking Geocoin left on the Event page. Whoever took this geocoin still needs to log this as RETRIEVED. Go to its page ([https://coord.info/TB1TQXZ](https://coord.info/TB1TQXZ)) and log it, before its owner gets worried about it missing. If you dont know how, just ask.

A big thanks to Janice for taking some photos at the event. If anyone wants to view them, they have been uploaded on the event logs.

# To those who have taken geocoins, please remember to log them as retrieved from this event. There are still two left and someone from the event has them in their possession. If you dont know what to do with them, please ask, we are always willing to help.#

Finally, here are the photos taken at the event. Apologies for the delay, we've had a busy few days with work and family commitments.

Really enjoyable get together. Loved the opportunity to see the films. Thanks TNXPro

This was the biggest event I have ever attended outside a MEGA. Just shows that most people love going to the movies. Nice to see some new faces and a couple of the regulars. Thanks for organising a good venue and the event.

Heading over this way for the GIFF Event at Papamoa so of course a couple of stops along the way seemed appropriate to meet the needs of that bloody DGSc Challenge that I am finally getting closer to having completed.
Finally made it here in plenty of time in the company of Rosmar, great to see so many people here and ready to laugh at the submissions. Once again good to see old friends, make some new ones and enjoy good food and beer.
Thanks for putting together Dave, appreciated

Awesome.. good to meet new people

Thank you - met some helpful folk

Absolutely loved meeting you all today. Watching the movies has re inspired me to get out there more. Thanks so much TNX for organising a very cool event.

Great videos. Laughed a lot!
Thanks for the invite

Great get together, loved the films and meeting other geocachers.

Dave,our humble apologies.My body has revisited an old back injury & standing is difficult but sitting very painful so think it wise to stay home.Isee the no's are up there which is great & i'm sure everyone will have a great time.
Cheers,
Colin.

I'll be the first to log as attending on the date of the event! Waiting for lunch and the show.

Enjoying the films!

Thanks Tnxpro for organising this event. A fair amount of effort went into the production of some of those films and we all related to most of the content. Was also a great excuse for another catchup.

Thanks for organising TNXPro - we have taken a couple of TBs. Nice venue too. The films are another new aspect of geocaching. Good fun.

Really amazing films! Thank you very much!

Thanks for organising this great event tnxpro, good venue and turnout . The GIFF clips were fun entertainment but even better was being able to chat with some other cachers. Awesome - glad I went along. Tftc

Good to catch up with old friends and some new ones. Enjoyed the films TFTC

**Well done TNXPro** on an excellently organised event.... loved the venue, and our meals were delicious. We had great fun viewing the films & catching up with our fellow geocachers - thank you! .

Thanks for organising, was a fun event and awesome to see the films. Good food too

Another event to add to the tally... This was our second viewing of the GIFF reel after attending the premiere in Papakura yesterday...

We appreciated the planning and organisation that went into this event. The venue was comfortable, though a little noisy for this type of occasion (My fault for sitting by the door)... The food looked good too, though I went without... It was good to revisit each clip again, especially those that drew lots of laughter. We are looking forward to next year's selection. Thanks TNXPro and TFTE.

I've been looking forward to this event for a while now and good to have a nice easy one to keep the streak going. Great caching up with everyone and the ideas floating around regarding a monthly catch up with be well worth it I think. The movies were great - the food was tasty - and the company was superb. Cheers TNX for putting your hand up for this - went off without a hitch.

My first geocaching event and it was great fun watching some very funny and strangely quite relateable moments! Thanks for organising the event - nice to meet some fellow 'cachers!

### Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou ###

to all who came along and made this a great event. As usual it was great to cache up with all the regulars and good to see some newbie come along too.

I could have watched the films before today, as I have had them for nearly two weeks, but I left them as a surprise for the event and they were great.

It sounds like everyone who ate enjoyed their meals and I was surprised at how well the three screens worked scattered around the room.

I have taken a couple of TB's home again with me. Dont forget to log out the ones you took (and log them into a good home for them next).

Cheers all

Good support for a local event with cachers arriving from all directions. Great venue, tasty food, fun movies and great company TFTEC.

Thanks TNXPro for organising a great event. It was good to see a mix of local and out of town people and a number of first time event attendees. Photos to come.

Sorry, couldn't make it. Sounded awesome.

Great spot to hold this event and very close to home. With the Squirrel we are on an event collecting mission and had viewed these clips the day before in Papakura. Good to see the reaction from other cachers today. Thanks TNXPro for arranging this event.

After a great weekend in Pukehina I headed this way to attend this event. Great to meet a few names I have read in many logs and put some faces to names. Enjoyed chatting with the locals and a few non locals. The films were an extra highlight to the event and it was enjoyable watching the Waitresses faces trying to figure out what this large group of seemingly normal adults were cracking up at. The TV screens worked out well and I think it was easy for everyone to view the films.

Great to meet a few new faces too, hope you enjoyed your first event.

Now off home to Hamilton via a few caches of course!

be good to meet others

Yay. First to sign. Thanks

Thanks for a great afternoon. Enjoyed another opportunity to get to meet other geocaches.

Great show and neat to see some new faces thanks TNXPro for the organization

Excellent afternoon. Really enjoyed the films. Thanks to TNXPro for organising.

I hope to be there as well.

Oops, late notice but Raconteur x 2 will be there. Looking forward to the event.

We have reached capacity - there are no more seats left in the function room. If you want to still join us, you can eat in the main cafe area and still join us for the movie at 1 o'clock. If you are late, you may not find a seat. See you at midday Sunday. Dropping some TB's in.

Thought I did this but must have only said 'going' on the facebook event, oops! Coming from Rotorua!

I will be there with Livee!

Visiting from up north for weekend. It will be great to meet some local cachers. Thanks

Myself and two friends coming
Karen Beaver(Kiwi Beaver)

Looks like its going to be a full house. Be there at 12:00 to order your lunch and get the best seats in the house. For those who might be late, the movie is starting at 1pm so dont panic if you're late. Please remember to sign the attendance log. See you on Sunday.

Hoping to attend, just timing might be an issue. Will be 2 1/2 of us.

Just one. Also a newbie so looking forward to meeting others

Noticed I will be in the area that weekend and spotted this event. Sounds great, will be 1.5 of us (1 adult, 1 child).

Should be a good catch up. Again!!!

Thanks see you there cheers

Missed the last one - right place but a day late as I'd forgotten to put my watch forward. Looking forward to putting some faces to names.

Will attend x2 thanks!
