Geocache Description:

This is a Splash Mob Event with a Boat Race Theme, to celebrate having a bit of fun in Bourton-on-the-Water in the water and to confuse the locals!


What is a Splash Mob Event?
This is very similar to a Flash Mob Event except you will be standing in water to sign the log book if you want to! 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 12:30pm.

This year, we thought a Boat Race Theme would add to the fun and confusion of the locals. So bring along a prop and appropriate clothing but REMEMBER, until till 12 noon, you are a muggle and shouldn't stand out of the crowd angel

There will be a log book to sign (optional) 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.


Update: 5th June 2015

Adding Event to the WWFM Event Day but no souvenir from Groudspeak this year!
See the World Wide Flash Mob Event page for further information.




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 & 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.
