GoSA Grapevine December 2016 - Down Time & Service Time

Down Time


It's the end of another year.  Travelling somewhere new?  Take the chance to go geocaching.  Travelling somewhere you have been to before?  Take the chance to go geocaching.  Stuck at home with some annoying family?  Take the chance to go geocaching.  Holding the fort at work?  Sneak out early and ... yes.... take the chance to go geocaching.

Whatever you are doing this festive season, GoSA wishes you a fantastic festive season, travel safely and make sure you find some geocaches.  Hopefully you also get a chance to attend one of the many events to celebrate the end of the year and the start of another one.

Service Time

It is the responsibility of any cache owner to maintain their geocaches.  One of the volunteer reviewers has started a process to work through all the disabled caches and those with long strings of needs maintenance or DNF logs. 

Should you be contacted about any of your geocaches, we encourage you to work with them, and arrange to either maintain your geocache, or archive it and remove any remnants that may be at ground zero.  At the end of this process, old geocaches owned by inactive geocachers should be removed from the game, opening those areas for active cachers and making it less likely to get DNF's.

Did you manage to get to one of the GIFF screenings and watch the films and earn the souvenir? 

If not, you can now watch the entire film reel here.

At the recent GoSA AGM the new committee for 2017 was elected.  The committee is:
Chairman - Erik Lear (Fier)
Treasurer - Lucia Rodrigues (LuciaMPR)
Secretary - Claudia Magno (ClodsM)
Member - Bruce Pantland (Pte Curb)
Member - Graham Thomas (ThomasFamilyZA)
Member - Delbert Botes (Delbadore)
Member - Carlo Henrico (scubie999)
Member - Chris Booysen (ChrisDen)

We are always on the lookout for photos from events or cool caches, as well as any fun, interesting, unusual or exciting geocaching stories to share with the geocaching community.  If you want to share yours, send it to us by emailing it to our webmasters.
