Kineton Ward Branch
Kenilworth and Southam Conservatives
Car Treasure Hunt – Sunday 1 September 2013
The Kineton Ward Branch of the Kenilworth and Southam Conservatives will organise a CAR TREASURE HUNT on Sunday 1 September 2013, starting and finishing at the Swan Hotel, Kineton. The event will be run on a ‘scatter’ basis so that there is no set route to follow – you may choose your own route. Maps will be provided. There will be no timing other than a start and finish time so you can drive as quickly or as slowly as you like. There will be clues to find locations, and questions to answer once you get there, but you will not have to visit all of the locations given. The main objective is to have a fun day out with either friends or family.
Car treasure hunts---where families and friends work through a series of clues to find locations and answers that score them points in a challenge to be better than all the other crews on the day but where simply getting to the finish with as much done as possible will fill you with a sense of achievement. Clues will appeal to all ages, will be ‘doable’ and will lead you to places you might not otherwise visit. We will provide additional clues against a penalty so that no-one will be totally stuck. Our aim is to make the event an enjoyable and entertaining experience instead of being a confusing disaster full of dead ends and clues that make no sense.
We will start the day with Morning Coffee at the Swan where you will be required to ‘sign on’ and pick up your instructions and clues and also pay any dues not already paid. You can set off any time between 11.00am and Noon and you must be back at the Swan with your answers no later than 3.30pm for Afternoon Tea. If you feel the need to take lunch in between you will need to fit this into your own Treasure Hunt itinerary. Once everyone is back at The Swan we will have a sociable afternoon that will include a short quiz based on what you might have seen during the day, just in case we need a tie breaker, and there will be a raffle and prize-giving at about 4.00pm.
In order to cover cost of the maps, and the instruction book there is a small charge per entry and this is set at £5 per car plus £1 for each occupant. Morning Coffee and Afternoon Tea will be charged on a ‘per head’ basis (you can book it when you enter the event) as well. Places will be limited so please book your place early. In the event of over-subscription we will run a reserve list and call teams up as appropriate.
