🎄❤️ A BIG THANK YOU TO WEST MIDLANDS 2027 MEGA! ❤️🎄

We’d like to say a huge thank you to the West Midlands Mega 2027 committee for their generous contribution towards our Christmas gift appeal!

Their kindness will help us make Christmas a little more special for children and families in our local community, including children visiting Santa at Cache & Craic III – Santa’s Stash on Sunday 6th December.

Alongside making sure every child visiting Santa receives a gift, we’re also hoping to spread some extra Christmas cheer through donations to local community initiatives.

It’s wonderful to see the geocaching community coming together to help make a difference, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone at West Midlands 2027 Mega for supporting what we’re trying to achieve.

❤️ To everyone at West Midlands 2027 Mega, thank you for being part of something special. Your generosity will help us put smiles on little faces, spread Christmas cheer and make a real difference to local families. We truly appreciate your support in helping us make Cache & Craic III – Santa’s Stash extra magical this Christmas! 🎅🎁

Help Us Make It a Geocaching Weekend!

With Cache & Craic III: Santa's Stash coming to Bellshill on Sunday 6 December, we'd love to make the most of the weekend and bring even more of the geocaching community together!

We're inviting fellow geocachers to host their own side events in and around Bellshill between Friday 4 and Monday 7 December 2026.

It doesn't have to be anything big or complicated! It could be a relaxed coffee and chat, a CITO, a casual meet-up or another fun idea. Whether you've hosted lots of events before or are thinking about hosting your very first one, we'd love to hear from you!

📍 Where? Bellshill and the surrounding area, ideally within around 15 minutes of the main event.

📅 When? Friday 4 – Monday 7 December 2026.

💡 What? Whatever you think would be enjoyable for fellow geocachers!

The idea is to give visitors travelling to Cache & Craic III more opportunities to meet fellow geocachers, explore the local area and enjoy their time here.

Interested, or have an idea you'd like to discuss? We'd love to hear from you!

📧 Email us at [email protected]

There's no need to have everything planned already. If you've got an idea, get in touch and let's see what we can do together!

Let's make it a brilliant weekend for the geocaching community!
