The 3rd annual Almerimar Treasure Hunt took place on Saturday 23 October 2010.
You can see the quizzes and tasks we used in the hunt, the routes we used, the results and photos from each bar using the menu at the top of the page.
The Charity
This year the treasure hunt was in aid of the Aldeas Infantiles SOS España charity. €951.00 was raised by the event.
€450.00 was raised via entry fees and donations from the 7 bars involved. The rest of the money was gathered from the teams through the hard work of all the marshals. Plus donations before and after the event from people unable to take part.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed. In these difficult financial times it is great to know that the community in Almerimar is willing to help those in need by donated time and/or money to a worthy cause.
The Format
8 teams started from the new clubhouse in Almerimar at just before 6.00pm and visited 6 bars. To gain entry to each bar the teams had to find the answer to an Entry Clue. After that they had to buy a round of drinks and then perform a task or answer a quiz in each bar. Marshals in each bar scored how well each team did and then gave them the Entry Clue for the next bar.
The hunt was based on a Wild West theme. Each bar was a location typical of the wild west.
Once a team had visited all 6 bars they had to get to El Arroz in the square to hand in their score sheet by no later than 9.00pm and wait for the prize giving ceremony.
Sponsors
The event was sponsored by Almerimar Today and Alcor Properties.
Organisers
The event was organised by Jacqui Mays and John Woodhead.
Other Helpers
Many thanks to all of the marshals in all of the bars.
Finally, thanks the Friday Golfers for the donation of prizes, including Lawrence, Chris P, John D and Jan D who donated the prizes they won at Friday golf on 22 October 2010..
