Local Lockdown Approach - Cache Publication - Events & CITOs - Archiving Caches
2nd May 2021
The Ireland Reviewer Team is committed to following government directives.
As travel restrictions across the island will be lifted on Monday 10th May 2021 we will re-commence reviewing & publication of caches sent in for review from 00.00 hours on 10/05/2021 - excluding any type of events though.
Please bear in mind that there may be caches sent in from several cachers, so due to volume and family commitments we will get to all caches put in for review as soon as possible.
We will also be looking at long term disabled or poor health score caches. If you feel you are unable to maintain your caches due to the ongoing situation, please post a note on your caches stating that you do intend to maintain them in the future. However, if you are actively caching, we expect you to be able to do maintenance on your caches sooner rather than later.
Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Inishanier & Cuilcagh.
