Editing Letterboxing (hobby) (section)

==Gatherings==
Letterboxers organise events, usually called ''meets'' or ''gatherings''. The first letterbox meet was held on Dartmoor, and they are now  held twice-yearly on "clock change days" (in March and October). Gatherings in the US are usually at parks or places with enough space for a large group of letterboxers to meet up and do exchanges (exchanging of personal stamps and/or personal travelers), as well as talk and discuss box ideas. Gatherings in the US usually have a special, one-day "Event stamp." At some gatherings, boxes are created or donated to be planted nearby specifically for the gathering attendees to find.

The first gathering in North America was held in November, 1999, at The Inn at Long Trail in [[Killington, Vermont|Killington]], Vermont.{{cn|date= March 2025}}
