Geocache Description:

Be a part of geocaching history! This event is part of the eighth World Wide Flash Mob. Thousands of geocachers will come together at dozens of events around the globe, all gathering at exactly the same time.

 DO NOT MEET HERE

The Ringo has been taken away! DO NOT GO HERE! Use your GPS to find the meeting place!


This one has gone too! Perhaps we will see the ghost of the Fair Maid, a virtual landmark!

At the previous WWFM in May 2010, nearly 6000 people attended 139 events in 19 countries.  Only 15 minutes long! You MUST be present and sign a log sheet DURING this time to claim the event.  You've heard of MEGA-EVENTS, maybe you've been to one... This is almost the opposite in a variety of ways. More like a "MICRO-EVENT".


Please BYOP! (Bring your own pen)


The short event will have not one, but two themes:

    Hello!!!

First: when the event begins, let us hear the ring-tone on your mobile phone.  Set the volume to maximum and pretend not to notice the other phones whilst converging slowly towards ground zero.

JUMP !!! 

Second: for the group photo everyone must jump! This should guarantee both an interesting photo and a few strange looks from the passers-by.


The event will begin precisely at 18:00 on Saturday, June 4. An Orange Bucket placed on ground zero will signal the start of the event!!! Get out your mobile phone and let us hear your ring tones.

Prior to the start time, mosey and wander about nonchalantly ...Then when the bucket is set down ... converge (slowly and noisily) on the statue at Ground Zero! YOU WILL NEED A PEN or PENCIL to sign a log sheet. There will be an event "meal", a group photo, and a raffle for some very cool prizes. After the event, we will scatter in all directions leaving everyone to wonder, what just happened?!?


Timetable:

 17.45-18.00 Loiter inconspicuously, act like you know no-one
 18:00 Look out for the orange bucket and start sounding out your ringtones, the louder the better
 18:02 Put your phone away, grab a log sheet and fill it out
 18:07 Raffle for FTF honours and other prizes
 18:13 Group photo – JUMP!!!
 18:15 Event concludes – disperse quickly and in all possible directions. If you missed the signing and the photo, you missed the event.

 

Although the loggable event finishes at 18:15, you are welcome to join us for a less embarrassing get together at The Capital Asset - a Wetherspoon's pub in Tay Street: N56 23.789 W003 25.541.
