I was thinking of a way to make the Staffordshire Meet 2 even bigger and better.

So, I thought........Okay, yeah, yeah get the insults over and done with thankyou

How about doing a kind of treasure hunt???
I give out a sheet of paper with slightly cryptic clues of things to spot and note down on the route.
There will be an "entry fee" so to speak along with a first and second prize.
The rest of the money will be donated to the charity of Nick Wild's family's choice in honour of him

Are you interested in doing this sort of thing?
What kind of "entry fee" would you be happy to pay?

Please post up

 

COULD BE A LAUGHT

£5 to enter

u got to have a clue for scooby doo lol

 

Excellent

Was thinking along the lines of £5

I have something already half prepared so I just want to see what the interest is - thanks scooby-si
Anyone else???

 

Yeah, these are

Have to spot things on houses and stuff on en-route.

 

 

Excellent idea as long as it is subltle enough to be done en-route, I have toyed with this idea in the past and know it has to be done right, but then you always did know how!

 

I am thinking about designing a T-shirt for the meet too.

I could then offer them at cost price plus a quid or two which will go to charity in honour of Nick Wild also.

If peeps would want something like that I will get a couple of designs put together (Once I can fecking well open up photoshop [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] ) and put them up to vote.

 

I agree CW

I used to enter the "treasure hunts" done by the IAM with my mum, so I know how to go about doing it

 

It will be best to have a passenger if we go ahead with this, so will the fee of £5 be for both? or per person? What would you peeps be happy to do?

 

Per car would be best, but you need to make it fair to the solo drivers???

 

That is why it would be best to bring a friend.

Anybody with more than one could donate to soloists

 

i thinks thats a great idea
it would be better if you brought a mate

 

One for your's possibly?

 

Count me in

 

Nice one CW am thinking along those lines

I am also going to do an Evo one for the Evo lot if they want that option
Got to look into the cost of getting them done, fortunately I know someone.....

 

LMW if you need help I have done a few THs in the past. Best to have a couple of stopping points ( I could run one if you want )so if people get lost they can get to a point and start again. Sealed envelope with map and instructions, mobile number of helpful person to next point. If it opened lose 10 points say. Fill in list of questions on the way to make sure you went the right way. Reset trips to make sure they havent gone off course . That way its not a timed event its a mileage thing and not a speed trial.

Also a scavenger list to get as you are going along.

Cold chip
Beer Mat
Lottery ticket
Leg of lamb
etc.

Maybe a set of challenges to be done on the way.

I sent a load of people to get the price of a special type of brick in B&Q.


Sounds like a cracking idea and good fun for kids so they dont get bored .

cheers

chrisp

 

Chris, thanks for your offer, lets get together sometime and discuss the options

 

Just thought if poeple have to buy a lottery ticket as a scavenger maybe any wins could given to the charity collection as well.

 

Yep no probs we will drag ChrisB as well as he never does anything .

 

Sounds a great idea!!! Drop me a mail

Consideration to time needs to be given as several will be travelling far.

The pub where the end is has no problems serving food till late

 

LOL, poor Chris

Must see if robman is up for it too

 

Yep I will have a think about possible things we could do and places we could take in on the TH and will drop you an email.

 

Cool, the route is more or less sorted, I have a few places I know I can include on the TH there

 

This sounds really - can you post some (understanably) vague details of the route so I know how far I will have to travel down from Lancaster for this please? (ie M6 Junction numbers)
Also, how long will the route be and to whom do I send advanced t-shirt orders

Cheers, Jon

 

By the sound of it the route will now be about 200 miles, take seven hours to complete and you will have to stop to find clues every few miles

Is this gonna take all day & night then Michelle?

 

LOL, I will be snipping the route down don't worry

 

I will do you a couple of shorter options then for leg 2

 

For it to work you wont be driving quick so you dont want too many miles as you need to spot things as you are going along. No use in having a route which takes in 50 miles of open roads, fields and hills .

 

Is the treasure hunt going to be a seperate little loop all on it's own? There are plenty of suitable roads around the start/end for it. I pressume that will be the best idea to fit in with your 'WRC format'

 

Might be to do this. I'll quite happily be a navigator / passenger if anyone needs one being as I don't own a Scoob.
