The Basic Idea: A "Flash Mob" Gathering of Geocachers. Only 15
minutes long! You MUST be present and sign a log sheet DURING this
time to claim the event.
This event will take place at Victoria Park in Truro,
NS!
You've heard of MEGA-EVENTS? This is quite the opposite in a
variety of ways.
A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in
a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time,
then quickly disperse.
WWFM (World Wide Flash Mob Event): Dozens of events all around
the world...
Thousands of geocachers participating...
Coordinated to happen at the same time to bring together geocachers
for a fun and unique event...
These events will last EXACTLY 15 minutes, not one second
longer.
LOCAL RULES
Arrive near Victoria Park prior to the start time. We will all meet
at EXACTLY 2:00 pm at the designated 'Ground Zero', and the
event will close at exactly 2:15 pm! If you don't drop a log sheet
in the container, you cannot log the event!!!! (Log sheets will be
provided.) If you arrive early, do NOT interact - stay in your
car or just act non-chalant!!! Sometime in that 15 minutes, you
HAVE to place your signed log sheet in the container, AND be
present for the group photo that will be taken at PRECISELY
2:12!
There will be a draw made after everyone has placed their names
into the cache container for an unactivated geocoin, and if anyone
else out there wants to donate something for a similar draw, feel
free to add something to the pot!
Oh and a lunch fitting to the occasion will be provided! Tell
your friends and help promote the event! There may be several
muggles nearby who will wonder "What did I just see? What just
happened?" (That's part of the fun!)
At 1:59PM I will reach ground zero with the container, and start
the event. Everyone can then make their way to GZ.
2:00 PM - Sign the logbook. Mingle. Trade travel bugs and
coins. Share stories. Brag. Take pictures. Make arrangements to
meet elsewhere, or to find the various caches in the nearby
area.
2:07 PM - The event “banquet” will be served!
2:10 PM - Prize draws
2:12 PM - Assemble for a group photo.
2:14 PM - One minute warning is called "It is now 2:14!"
Prepare to leave.
2:15 PM EXACTLY - Wait for it ... then LEAVE the area
(right at 2:15 PM)! Meet elsewhere if desired. If everything goes
right we will have lots of people coming out of nowhere and
gathering for 15 minutes, holding a geocaching event and then
disappearing…This could be lots of fun and maybe even raise a few
muggle eyebrows!
