What is a Ice Mob Event?
This is very similar to a Flash Mob Event except you will be standing in water to sign the log book and for those who want to do it, pouring icy water over themselves (optional)! If you are not familiar with a Flash Mob Event, the idea is to be close to the Event co-ordinates but blend in with the muggles, acting like a muggle. At the start of the Flash Mob Event, usually a whistle is sounded, you all congregate at the Event co-ordinates, sign the log, swap trackables and have a chat. At the end, again a whistle is sounded, you all disperse as quickly as you came, leaving the locals wondering what on earth just happened!
The Event:
The Event will begin precisely at 12:00 noon and conclude precisely at 12:15pm.
This Event is to have a bit of fun in the icy waters of the Windrush. It's optional but why not join in a mass pouring of icy Windrush water over yourself, hopefully someone will be taking pictures. So bring along a bucket, spare clothing and towel but REMEMBER, until till 12 noon, you are a muggle and shouldn't stand out of the crowd
There will be a log book to sign but can you please BYOP (bring your own pen), to speed up signing.
Hopefully we will get a group photo as well just before the Event ends.
Keep a watch on the Event just in case of any updates.
Parking:
Bourton-on-the-Water is a busy place for parking with all the muggles about; DON’T expect to find any parking very close to the Event. There are several Pay and Display car parks but if you are prepared for a short walk, there are free parking spots off Station Road at a local supermarket and country store outlets at N51 53.297 W001 45.295. MAKE SURE you allow time for parking; I wouldn't want you to miss logging the Event as you were trying to find some where to park!
Disclaimer:
All the usual blahdy, blah, blah which means you do everything at your own risk and I am responsible for absolutely nothing (including the weather). If you don't feel safe doing it, then don't do it. Simples.
