GAGB Friends

A GAGB Member can become a GAGB Friend by requesting to join the Facebook group or informing the Executive Committee via an email to friends@gagb.org.uk. It's that easy!

Are you a friendly sort of person? Like to help others out, or get stuff done to make life easier for everyone? In geocaching, maybe you are first with hints & tips, advice, and support? Or you spot something slightly wrong and like to help to get it right - a website that you can help with, or a place that doesn't have geocaches and you can help get permission? Maybe you are technical, and prefer fiddling with GSAK and HTML, or maybe you are more of a people-person, and like to get involved in events?

If this sounds like you, then the GAGB Friends group is aiming to be full of people just like you - folk who want to help make geocaching better, but who don't want to be a full-blown Groundspeak Reviewer, GAGB Executive Member, or Facebook group admin. See if any, some, or all of these sound like you, or contact us with your own idea of what you would love to do as a GAGB Friend.

Local Point of Contact: you could act as a local point of contact for cachers, not only attending events on behalf of the GAGB but also liaising with cachers at other times and providing feedback to the Committee when needed. ‘Eyes and Ears’…

Eventer: If your ‘thing’ is meeting people and making them welcome, why not organise some GAGB Roving Events, or help out at our larger events or stands at the Megas. New cachers in particular love to talk and find out more - can you help?

Designer: Do you have a creative skill? Can you draw? Get involved in geocoin or travelbug design? Come up with interesting geocaches? Create artwork for the magazine? Do you know how to use Publisher and lay out pages? Can you write articles or interview notable geocachers for us?

Specialist Techy: If you have a special skill set maybe offer to help either GAGB or other geocachers with their websites, databases, HTML code, using apps, launching or running trackable races, or anything like that. It's a rare skill that you have - let's use it to have some fun.

Talker to Strangers: GAGB often help non-geocachers, such as organisations that want to do some geocaching, or people who need to be convinced to host geocaches. This could be councils to reassure them about what we do and explain CITOs, or wildlife trusts, charities. If you are an organised sort of person, and have a good record of being trusted and convincing, being involved in GAGB Friends might well help you to achieve more - armed with business cards and leaflets, and backed by us, just think of the places we could get geocaches placed.
