I"m fairly new on the scene here.
just wondered what the money goes towards?

At this stage, running of the website (forums), and the Society owns a handful of GPS units that we make available for free for school holiday programs, scouts/guides and the like - to encourage more people to use GPS and introduce them to geocaching. Those units are getting near the end of their life, and we need to replace them soon with touchscreen units that are far easier for kids and adults to learn to use in a short timeframe (such as an event).

We have three of these events coming up later this week!
