TRAMPER TED’S TEDDY BEARS FLASH MOB
TT is moving to Wellington (you may have heard this rumour).
Come and farewell the bears.
Sunday 13 February
10 am – 10.15 am (only 15 minutes)
In front of the Museum, Auckland Domain
A Flash Mob Event is a large group of people who assemble
suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period
of time, and then quickly disperse. You can handle that can‘t
you?
During the event, be prepared to:
- Bring a teddy bear (note if you are a bearless household, we
have spares!!!)
- Wear a HiViz vest or jacket, clap for 15 seconds
- Be in a group photo
- Sign the log
- Participate!
ITINERARY:
09:55
- Everybody wait patiently and/or stroll around the area. STAY AWAY
from ground zero until the signal is given. As much as you can, act
like a muggle, pretend not to know each other or give any
indication that something is about to happen.
10:00 – 10:06
-Hosts will arrive at GZ and when you hear the Teddy Bear’s
Picnic Music this will signal the beginning of the Flash
Event
-Everybody gather round Ground Zero and don your HiViz Jacket or
vest. Place the bears around Tramper Ted in a circle, once the
circle is formed start clapping for fifteen seconds and we will
give the bears three cheers.
10:06 – 10:11
-Sign the log sheet (Guest book) with your name (Please bring a
pen) and collect your bear.
10:11
-Assemble for a group photo, and assemble FAST. Listen to the
photographer for directions. BE QUICK about this. Time to chat
later.
-Taking of the official photo of TT’s Teddy Bear Flash
Mob
10:14 -One minute WARNING!
10:15 EXACTLY
-All participants must leave the area and remove hi-vis jackets.
EVERYBODY! It is very important that all leave the premises at
exactly 10:15 at the signal and disperse in different
directions.
AFTERWARDS – Meet at the Band Rotunda, just down the hill and
across the road to the north-west for honey sandwiches! BYO morning
tea (theres a café nearby too).
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 will be lots of fun and maybe
even raise a few muggle eyebrows!
