A couple of Tasmanians have been considering having a big Geocaching get-together in Hobart (and surrounds), and inviting geocachers from everywhere to attend.
Would you be interested in travelling to Hobart to attend a 2 day, weekend event? It could include an expo, semi-formal dinner, caching competitions, prizes etc
If no, what would draw you to Tassie for an event, if anything? Would you need at least a year's notice to prepare (money, holidays, bookings, etc)?

Would depend a little on when it was to be and how much notice. It might be just the excuse I need to visit Tassie

Count me in! I'm always up for a trip to Tassie, assuming I can swing an award flight with frequent flyer points.

Cheers,

And we would love to see you again Dak!
We were thinking about mid January (a time when Hobart is really hummin'!) 2009. Yeah?

That date/timeframe would suit us and would be able to schedule a trip from Darwin. Please keep me informed

I'd come, but I'm not sure how I would convince the rest of the household that this would be good use of the budget.

Yeh, another excuse to use our frequent flyer points.....We're in.
Got the Event page up yet?
Maybe there could be several smaller events planned, over several days, including showing off your geocoin collection finally.

At this stage it would need to be near New Years as I should get to Hobart on the 30th...

Depending on time of year, we would be keen. Advance notice for frequent flyer points would be good too

That sounds great. Been wanting to go to tassie for ages. And I have just booked 4 weeks holidays for Jan 2009. (first lot of school hols that I could get off). Hubby sounds interested as well.

I'd love an excuse to go down to Tassie. Haven't been since I was 3!

A trip to Tassie is on the list of things to do for 'one day soonish' but our travel plans for 2008 are mapped out already.
I suspect that we would not plan a trip around a geocaching event anyway. (that is the reason for my no vote).

It looks like there is some international interest as well
If we get enough people wanting to come, we'll try to get some subsidised accommodation happening....

2009 is certainly plenty of notice, or did you mean 2008?
