Cache of the Month

We are excited to reveal a special addition to the monthly newsletter for 2018!

Do you know of a cache that is worthy of the title of Cache of the Month? Please nominate it for the GoSA Cache of the Month for January 2018 by emailing the details (name, GC code) as well as a justification as to what makes it so amazing. You can send your nominations to .

Please note that you cannot nominate a geocache that you own. The GoSA committee will decide on the winner each month and the criteria for each month's Cache of the Month may change. We will announce the criteria for the upcoming month in the preceeding month's newsletter.

The owner of the selected Cache of the Month will be notified and sent a badge which they can add to their cache description.

Big Event 2018 Update

Next year on 29 and 30 September 2018, GoSA is hosting an event GC7DAJM “2018 Jolly Jozi Jol”. Currently it is just listed as an ordinary event (with 145 will attends at the time of going to press) but should there be sufficient interest as a result of will attend logs, then Geocaching HQ may grant it Mega status. But come what may, it should be a great time of networking with other geocachers.

So book it in your next year’s diary (which you may not even have yet) and make a date to come celebrate together. There will be something for everybody to enjoy and more importantly lots of new quality caches to find. Make a start and log your will attend and who knows, we may get Mega status yet and we look forward to seeing you all there.
