WWFM – World Wide Flash Mobs – A fun and friendly way to promote geocaching around the world. Thousands of geocachers at dozens of coordinated events spanning the globe, gathering at the same time. Sonny and Sandy of the PodCacher podcast came up with the WWFM idea in 2007 after attending a mega-event. It was meant to be a fun “opposite” of a mega-event: all the cool aspects of a geocaching event, crammed into 15 minutes of excitement. An added dimension is represented by the letters "WW" - World Wide - these events occur across the planet on the same day at (mostly) the same time! These caching events are intended to bring geocachers together in a creative way, as well as introduce others (newbies) to the hobby.
Gather in front of the shop entrance, but don't block access please! keep your brolly closed (unless it's raining!) until you hear a whistle blown at exactly 4pm. When you hear the whistle, unfurl your brolly!
There will then be a game of "Caching Bingo so grab a game card and pencil and get talking to other cachers until you have crossed off each box on your card. The first to complete their card will be awarded "First to Find" for the event.
At 4.15 we'll arrange ourselves in to a group for an event photo, umbrellas and all, before retiring to the cafe inside.remember to close your brolly before you go inside though- we don't want to bring on any bad luck!
