Please book mark Geocaching.org.uk (http://www.geocaching.org.uk) this is the finished look for the site and has a couple of interactive features already. The first dual listed cache is also viewable (but not yet loggable on G:org). Please give any praise to the web master and any complaints to me . Features will be added on a rolling basis until we are ready to accept membership to the site, so please keep popping back to see what's new.

When will it be ready to accept new cache listings?

I will chase up the web master about that and see if he can give me a time scale. As soon as the site is ready to accept listings, a management committee will be elected to take over the running of the site. Just like GAGB elected members will run the site on behalf of the UK caching community, allowing the Approvers flexibility over certain types of caches which GC will not allow listed (I'm not trying to bring old wars to the front, so please leave the past in the past, so that the wounds can continue healing).

I've had a quick word with the Webmaster, who can't comit to a timescale at the momemnt for fear of not being able to meet it. Unlike GC, G:org is being set up as an non profit site. Which means that developing the site has to be fitted in with family life, work and caching :D by the webmaster. I on the other hand have the time (spouses full time carer) but not the skills needed.

I promise to keep you updated with every development on the site, as soon as I personaly know about it. At the end of the day we are trying to be as open as possible about the site, as ultimatly it's the UK geocaching comunity who will be running it.

If any one wishes to contact me directly or has any questions or comments which they would like a direct answer, I can be reached at dave(@)geocaching.org.uk [remove ()] I will do my best to answer ASAP.

I mean, I see a link to geocaching.com, and one to geocacheuk.com, but the one to gagb.org.uk seems to have been forgotten :blink: :unsure:

I shall go into the corner and sulk......

Sorry Paul that's my fault I promise to go and stand in the corner with the dunces hat on. I'll email the web master and get him to change it ASAP! Apologys to every member of GAGB for missing the association out.
