+SkiBums (UK) Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) 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) Edited October 15, 2008 by skibumsuk Quote Link to comment

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment

+SkiBums (UK) Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment

+goldpot Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) 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! However, if we do get banged up I think we can rely on the Geocaching community to protest for our release ...can't we! Edited November 1, 2008 by goldpot Quote Link to comment

Bob Hope.... and my guess No Hope 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!!!!!!

+HazelS Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment
+SkiBums (UK) Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted 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 Quote Link to comment
+SkiBums (UK) Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted 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?) Quote Link to comment
+tman4591 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted 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! Thanks to the skibums for organising & everyone else for making it enjoyable! Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 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!

+Haggis Hunter Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 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.

+HazelS Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment

+Haggis Hunter Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 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? Group Photo Sorry it's so large. Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 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?? Quote Link to comment

Reports of the worldwide event can be heard on the podcacher podcast, which can be downloaded from www.podcacher.com 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 Edited November 17, 2008 by Dorsetgal & GeoDog Quote Link to comment
