The 2010 Treasure Hunt / Family Fun Day

Sarn Park services was our starting point for this years treasure hunt organised by Stuart Powell. There were a few classics and about the same amount of modern cars - in fact initially the turn out did not seem too good, but others joined us later on and it was also apparant that some cars really did contain the whole family !

The weather was good initially - some even had their rag tops down ! Once we all left the navigation instructions directed us to ultimately arrive at the Museum of Welsh Life in St. Fagans.

Once we got there we were handed our clues. For a change, all the clues were photographs which Stuart had taken and we had to simply identify the locations. Sixteen 'proper' clues and a dummy.

We have been to the museum many times now, but for once we really were committed to go in every building and look in every room. So by the time we had finished we had probably walked a good two or three miles. Joyce and I gave it an hour or so and then went back to the car park and had our picnic. Others, went in the on-site cafe or picnic'd within the grounds. We then continued after lunch to find the rest of the clues. Apart from the dummy clue we found them all but one.....

When it came time for the marking at 3 pm we all met in one of the lecture theatres. The results were all high scores with three groups finding all 16 clues. After 2 tie break questions Ian and Mari Thomas were declared the winners. Alan presented the plaque to Ian during the following club night......

We cannot mention Richard Palmers score - but he could be asked to do the next one ;-)

From about midday we were dodging the occassional bouts of drizzle but the worst of the rain occured whilst we were indoors, so on balance it seems we were lucky.

We really enjoyed the day and wish to thank Stuart for once again organising a great SWCCC event.
