The RoddyCs will be spending a few days in the Ararat area, and would like to take this opportunity to host a Geocaching Meetup to do just that - meet the local cachers in the Ararat/Bendigo/Ballarat/Horsham area - oh, what the heck - even Melbourne! 
So who are we? RoddyC and Mrs RoddyC (Rod and Pauline) live just south of the Brisbane border. We have been caching since 2014, and have found over 11,000 caches, and have placed around 350 caches. Together with fellow Queenslander, youngoldfella, we are responsible for the annual QOGM Events in Central Western Queensland. 
We have visited the Bendigo-Ballarat area before - about 4 years ago - and picked up a few caches - even the letterbox one in that subterrainian place near the poison ivy! 
. .
Looking for more this trip, too, of course. But enough already about us! 🤷♂️
We really love meeting fellow geoachers wherever we go, and that includes YOU. So, shift your thinking, and pop out to Ararat to the RSL there (it's right on the main road - you can't miss it!). 👀
We'll have some TBs and other swappable items too, so don't hesitate to bring yours along. We might even be tempted to take some TBs to QOGM! 😱
So please log your WIll Attend now so we can advise the venue of the numbers for the area required (the table). (We said we would let them know on the Friday beforehand.) 
- Start: 12 noon, Sunday August 25th
- End: 1.30pm, Sunday August 25th
- Location: At the posted coordinates, or Ararat RSL, 74-76 High St, Ararat VIC 3377
- Table booked under the name RoddyC
NOTE: The purchase of food or drink is not a requirment to attend this event. The venue is available on line to view the menu, but we chose this place because of the GF and Vegetarian menu options. And of course, we are also RSL members at our own Sub-Branch. Gotta remain loyal, yes? 
PS. SPECIAL BONUS - we'll release a Makku Mob cache too! Do you like FTFs?
