10 Years! Event

Post by Hydnckr »

I received my Groundspeak weekly newsletter today and was interested in the new icon available for 2 days only. Here are the details as outlined on the webpage

10 Years! Events

Anyone can host a 10 Years! Event on either May 1 or May 2, 2010. Be sure to check your local event calendar before submitting one, though: it may already be planned. In addition to the standard event cache Guidelines, there are a few additional guidelines that you will need to follow if you wish your event to qualify for a 10 Years! cache type icon.

Additional Guidelines:
-Events must be held on May 1 or May 2, 2010.
-The name of the event needs to be formatted this way: "10 Years! <your location>." For example: 10 Years! Seattle, WA or 10 Jahre! Munich, Germany.
-At least 10 people must attend the event.
-Flashmobs do not qualify.
-A video or picture must be taken at the event. At least 10 attendees must be in the video/photo along with a legible sign showing the event coordinates and location name.
-The people in the video or photo should be festive. Be inventive! But please keep it family friendly.
-If you are interested in hosting a 10 Years! event, you are welcome to submit it as a normal event cache at this time. We will provide details on how to switch the listing to a 10 Years! event soon.

I can't volunteer to organize an event but I'll help in whatever ways I can...anyone want to get this very unique icon?

I just came here to post about this myself and found the thread already started. Maybe the NWOGEO picnic already scheduled for May 1 could be converted to a 10 year event???

what picnic? Mr.Bearclaws, how did you KNOW about a date?

if you mean GC236MW by T hunter - that's May 22...

c'mon guys, i looked under NWOGEO events list and the events forum too and did not find this May 1 date...

Also, looked at SC notes from meeting- only a mention there about checking out locations-WASSUP?

I vote yes on a May 1 event but my two cents worth - if its a spring picnic and one event will drain the other of attendees, due to closeness of the dates, then I vote for Bike Picnic as it's been in the works lots longer...

but PLEASE let us know...the calendar is filling up...

We're having the Spring picnic on May 1st so we're thinking about turning it into a 10 Years event. We have the place already so why not.

What a great day May 1 2010 will be for caching. The 10 Years! Galion, OH party doesn't start until 6PM so it would be possible to attend two 10 year events if it is decided that the spring fling be turned into a 10 year event ! ! !

If we make our Spring Event into a Spring/10 Yr Event, then I suggest that we ask our Galion friends to cross promote.

I have a huge scout event that weekend that we've been planning since last fall. It's the first picnic since I began that I'll miss. I can't believe I'll miss such a historic event.
