I think we should run a WWFM here in the Hunter.
Let us know what you think about it.
Do you have any ideas of a place and some clever idea?
If we have interest we may organise another event later in the day after this one as a Meet and Greet for locals.
WWFM
WWFM – World Wide Flash Mobs – Thousands of geocachers at dozens of coordinated events all around the globe, gathering at the same time.
Sonny and Sandy of the PodCacher podcast came up with the WWFM idea after attending a mega-event. It was meant to be a fun “opposite” of a mega-event. These caching events are intended to bring together geocachers and introduce others (newbies) to the hobby.
Basic Requirements:
15 minutes
Take a group picture
Collect number of people attended for statistical purposes
Be creative and Have fun!
