Fancy some Pi?

March 2015 includes a unique opportunity to attend Pi Day events. Pi (also depicted as π) is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet, and numerically is a mathematical constant equal to the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as 3.14159 or 22÷7. Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed exactly as a common fraction; its decimal representation never ends and it never settles into a permanent repeating pattern.

More accurately, π to 20 decimals is 3.14159265358979323846…

March 14, 2015 at 9:26:53 AM or PM, alternatively written as 3-14-15 9:26:53, has therefore been declared Pi Day, and there are various Pi Day events happening next Saturday morning all around the country.

To find a Pi Day event near to you, visit the Pi Day page on our website.

GoSA Website

Speaking of websites, when last did you visit the GoSA website?

We recently completed an upgrade of the GoSA website. The new website includes links to upcoming events, articles about geocaching in South Africa, a FAQ and Glossary to help explain geocaching guidelines and the lingo we use, and links to various useful websites and South African geocaching forums.

If you have any other ideas or comments on the website, know of a geocaching site or geocaching blog that we should add links to, or use other sites to help with your geocaching experience, please share these ideas with our webmasters by sending an email to them at
