Bump.
Not that it matters at this point.

Is it on Rib Mountain?

Um… No.

I don’t think anyone took your sarcastic post as negative, Bill. I got a chuckle.
Change is not only good, it’s inevitable. GC is a business and needs to keep up with the times to maximize $$.
GC is trying new stuff. Lab caches are a way to try something new without changing the “core”.
One of the nice things about geocaching is that someone can do it they way they did ten years ago and it still works. You don’t lose out if you don’t use a smart phone, do challenges, or never heard of a Lab Cache.
These “personal” Lab Caches might be fun, but I would really like to see the Mega Event Lab Caches expanded to smaller events. Not to dig up old controversies, but this would be a perfect solution to the temp cache debate.

I have one made for my Valentine.

I can do that Chris.

Onions too if someone knows how many…
Noodles too. How much?

[Team Black-Cat]

Might be running short of spoons.

Bowls? Napkins? Is the coffee getting stale? (was fine at the LCG event)

[Team Black-Cat]

Ordered? I don’t recall seeing anything saying so.

I’m not sure if we did a cost analysis, but $1 seems reasonable to me.

Always the hard question.
I “think” that having the hot dogs takes away from chili sales, but it doesn’t matter too much. Just keep it in mind when figuring a number.
Depending on weather, I would guess there will be a similar turnout. Make 4 with one “hot spare”?

On the Events page, the Admin tab has a place to “View Nametags For An Event”. After selecting the event from the dropdown list, click view and a .CSV (comma separated values) file will be created and available for download. The file can be fed into any mail merge program. I’ve used MS Word and MS Publisher, but any program that can do a mail merge and print labels will work.
I certainly wouldn’t be upset if someone created a new format for nametags as long as it looks nice and at least has the WGA logo on it somewhere. If someone wants my Publisher format, I’ll have to recover it from my old (dead) laptop.

Making nametags at events has proven to be very impractical (read difficult). Adding another piece of equipment to the mix is just another piece of equipment that isn’t going to be where it’s needed when it’s needed, and won’t have cartridges ordered, etc.

I was able to add a Nametags checkbox to the Events approval page. Now any admin (board member) can turn the nametags link on or off for any event.

Suggestion on nametags… I think it would be reasonable to require WGA membership (not just having a logon to the website) to get a nametag printed. Make it a “benefit” to being a member.

Setting up nametags is a little bit of a PITA even after knowing how. If someone already knows how about MySQL and PHPMyAdmin, the I could shoe someone else how.
I set up the event for nametags. I have one of the laminators, but the tags and lamination are in the trailer.

Instant gratification, short attention span, no commitment.
