    South East Jubilee Weekend MX-5 Treasure Hunt - 3rd June 2012

     

    Organised by Guy Bartlett. - South East Member

     

    We will meet at the M20 services by Junction 8 (Leeds Castle turn off)  10am Start.

    Each team will be given an envelope. In the envelope will be a "Treasure Map", the Rules and a roll of sellotape. The Treasure Map is a piece of a4 paper divided into 20 squares. In each square will be the name of an everyday item that the team must find and attach to the map using the sellotape.

     

    Once the team has collected at least 75% of the items (minimum of 15 items) they can choose to return to the start.

    Each item they did not collect earns a 10 minute time penalty.

    The team gives their map to Guy. He will give you your overall time.

    After 3 hours, or when all teams return, whichever is sooner - we work out which team has completed the map in the shortest time.

     

    They are the winners. Rules will be given out on the day. The judge’s Decision is final.

     

    Please let Guy know if you wish to take part by posting up your name on the forum please

    Re: South East MX-5 Treasure Hunt - 3rd June 2012

    I remember (in 2005 I think) attending an EXCELLENT treasure hunt organised by the club. We all met at Hildenborough train station on a Sunday morning and were given a question sheet, then finished somewhere near Kings Hill (I think). Does anyone remember that?

    So, this treasure hunt sounds great fun too and I'm very interested in coming!

     Hi Guy

    We are looking forward to this, as it's Jubilee weekend we will probably have the English flag and Eunion Jack flying from our aerial. Should be fun

    thanks for organising this event

    I've asked my friend and his partner if they're interested, as he's recently bought a Mk1 and joined the OC, so hopefully that'll be another 2 more!

     Hi Guy,

    Is this still going ahead as SWMBO is trying to organise our jubilee diary. I hope it is because I am really looking forward to it!

     Brilliant, haven't done one of these for ages. Maybe this bump will entice a few others.
