WWFM IV ~ 8th November 2008

October 15, 2008

Just had a email back from the Coin Store the path tags are in stock (only 5 sets left, once they are gone thats it). So I have ordered some. Only one set though so hope our mob doesn't exceed 19 (I'm keeping one for our team)

I had a statement last evening to say my order had been shipped, so hopefully they will be here in plenty of time for the big day.

Your event's made it onto Wiki Dorsetgal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_mob

Oh, wow! Fame at last!

That's interesting to see it turn up there, thanks for letting me know, I am guessing it is cos it is London rather than anything else.

Also note there is WWFM event in Auckland on the same day, if you have a fast jet you could do both in the same day.

getting really fed up now ordered my Path tags at the same time as Sue (in Jersey) she got hers ages ago. I contacted the shop when they finally returned from holiday only to be told they had been shipped 28/10/08 (and not when they tolad me they would be). To date no sign of these blasted tags. Heres hoping the postie has something for me on Monday.

Are you all organised and ready to MOB?

November 1, 2008

For those who are attended the London WWFM we may get nicked under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, Mob Rules

so, perhaps we should make it 15 seconds! :rolleyes:

However, if we do get banged up I think we can rely on the Geocaching community to protest for our release ...can't we!

I thought it was supposed to be a Flash Mob, not a PROTEST??? :rolleyes:

Don't worry, Wendy is already known to the local plod.

Wouldn't it be comical if it was the same coppers that were involved with this:

Pants pants pants

just had an email from the Coin store saying that my order has been found in a bag in their office along with a load of others (that were meant to have been sent last week) and have now been sent today.

So who thinks these are going to get here in time?

Hmmm i would say you got two hopes... Bob Hope.... and my guess No Hope :anibad:

shame about the PT's no arrival but if my last package from across the pond is anything to go by... you may get them in time for the new year.... my last Air Mail letter from USA took 41 days!!!!!! (small padded envelope)

Well....

It looks like Chester will be the place to be in terms of flash mobbing....

Chester Flash Mob.... and then the event afterwards in a local hostelry a short drive away....

So far, 36 teams have logged as attending the flash mob - gonna be a LOT of people wearing daft hats in Chester!

November 8, 2008

Surprise surprise still no pathtags, but lots of cachers attending and masses of TB's and GC's logged into the event

Good luck and don't forget your photographs

November 8, 2008

I love Flash Mobs

Had 37 cachers all desend in unison it was amazing standing in an empty bit of green space and then at 6pm they just all appeared. Lots of TB swaps and log signing and photos.

Then onto a local for supps brilliant.

When's the next one (and do you think I'll have my PT's by then?)

November 8, 2008

Hope all the other events where as successful as the Wickford flash mob.

Great to meet other local (& not so local) cachers on such a fun event & already looking forward to the next excuse to meet up & have a pint!

:blink: Thanks to the skibums for organising & everyone else for making it enjoyable!

Provisionally 57 in London but I think a few teams may have just signed and not put the amount in their team, so checking.

The rain held off, fireworks went off all o and nippedround the corner to flash!

LONDON WWFM IV

Cachers from Sweden and The Netherlands also attended.

Goldpot scared me witless!

Still got to add up my figures but I had in the region of 50-60 cachers, most definitely 2 muggles right from the beginning that never had a clue what was going on and about an additional 20-30 bemused muggles left standing on their own at the end.

Provisionally 91 last night in Chester.... Amanzing night!!

The Cross is where lots of locals meet up and kids hang out etc, so there were lots of bemused looking locals!!

Very good organisation, including food, and a raffle!!! Great night, then all on to another event a few miles away for food / drinks etc!

Once Philpamandrob have done the final tally of numbers attending, I'm sure we'll let you know!

Here's a video of the Chester Event done by Ian of the bilberrythree.

I've now done the numbers and it was 66, but if you include ALL of the muggles that got involved then it may be nearer 100?

Sorry it's so large.

Edinburgh walker has filmed the last couple of minutes of the Edinburgh event it can be viewed

When you see me addressing people that you can't see, that is actually muggles walking up to the back of the crowd, the poor chap you see in the two tone jacket is also an unsuspecting muggle.

I wonder what they all thought when we all walked off and left them standing??

The date for the next WWFM is May 2cnd 2009.

Due to prior commitments, I won't be able to run a London one, (hint, hint, situation vacant) but maybe it's time to wake up a few fellow Dorset folk to get 'em flashing :anitongue:

Due to work I won't be doing one in Edinburgh either, (hint, hint, situation also available) but if someone else organises one I may be able to make it for the 15 minutes before going to work.
