Charity walk + event cache

[+Cacher_Penguin]

Hi

 

I'm doing a charity walk next month for CRPS_UK, would I be able to host an event cache at the same time?

I believe if you're sure to keep the charity out of what is a Geocaching event, sure.

Otherwise, isn't it an agenda?

Also watch out for:

 

An Event Cache should not be set up for the purpose of gathering geocachers for a geocache search.

If an event is already organized outside of the geocaching community or it will happen without a Geocaching.com listing, it is likely not an Event Cache. Examples include concerts, fairs, sporting and scouting events.

If in doubt, have a word with your local reviewer.

It may just be a case of being very careful with the wording used on your listing...

Convenient topic, I just ran into this issue because I am trying to host a geocaching 101 event during a family fitness day.

Are you attempting to associate your geocaching event with the family fitness day event? Read the commercial guidelines.

Geocaches do not solicit for any purpose.

 

Cache listings perceived to be posted for religious, political, charitable or social agendas are not permitted.

Probably not at the same time, due to the multitude of issues already discussed, but you could host an Event before or after the walk. Best of luck!
