Ever since our first MEGA back in 2015 we have always run lead up events during the year preceeding the main event and in 2018 we will continue to do so. Except this time we are taking our lead up events all around the country as well as all around the world! With over 40 lead up events planned around the state of Victoria as well as in every other state in Australia and a myriad of international lead up events, we are introducing the MEGAs that we hold in Victoria, Australia to a whole new audience!
Whilst these may not all be as big as the giant BBQ events that we held in 2017, these will all be official lead up events for The Parkville Event, 2018. We hope that each one of these lead up events reflects the caching community that the lead up event is held in and we look forward to the photos returning from these events held all over the globe.
And where would we be without a nice healthy competition to see who can attend a good portion of them. But this year the competition will be a little different. Everyone who attends an official lead-up event will receive points, based on the table below. Obviously some events are worth more than others based on their location. We will keep a running tally of who has amassed points and there will be prizes awarded for people who have gained significant number of points at the Parkville Event 2018. You can see this leader board by following this link.
Geocaching Victoria would like to thank the interstate and international ambassadors who are holding these events for us and helping to promote The Parkville Event, 2018 to their local caching community.
The official Lead Up Events for The Parkville Event, 2018 are…
