Good Afternoon All!
Right, quite a few people will know I've raised the question of a Cotswold Caching Geocoin, and well why not put a date on one, limited amount and make it special!
So here's the issue, we haven't got a design for one yet. But this is where you can come in.
Now, to get loads and loads made will be crazy, but how many to get made? 50? 100?
So, why not for 2015 get a Geocoin with something reflecting the Cotswolds? Got an idea what you think is ideal for the coin, whether it is a view, a landmark, a unique cache etc It could be what we need for a 2015 Geocoin.
Now what about making this a competition, with a prize! (Do you like prizes?!) How about winning design gets the owner a free coin with their design on?
Competition Terms & Conditions
The theme for the Cotswold Caching Geocoin 2015 Competition is ‘Cotswolds'. The theme is open to individual interpretation but entries must have the ‘Cotswolds/Caching' at their heart.
