Splash Mob 2014 (past event)
By: walktall Date: May 17, 2014, 4:38 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Putting this together with a beach party theme.
From recollection:
TJ said not the last week of June or July
Griff needs it to be after the 13th June
Me July & August are getting busy
So, the 21st June at 12noon looks good to me :)
Or perhaps the 14th, as the weekend of the 21st is A WILD (WEST)
CHRISTMAS 2014
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GC4V4X2 Event plus other associated events
over the weekend.
Thoughts ???

CacheWalker goes to the Beach Splash Mob Event
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GC558MJ on the 14th June, has now been
submitted for review ;D
A taster until it gets published:
HTML http://www.clker.com/cliparts/8/c/7/9/12284211212082395678rg1024_beach.svg.hi.png
The Event: at N 51° 53.020 W 001° 45.431
The Event will begin precisely at 12:00 noon and conclude
precisely at 12:15pm.
This year, we thought a Tropical Beach 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 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 & 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!

Will my Event get published, now I have sent the reviewer this:
[quote]I don't agree with groundspeaks regional map, Southern
England in the UK doesn't mean the area that they are indicating
but the whole of Southern England.
see: Regions of England
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_England#Regions_as_areas_of_administration
But I have changed it to Southern England[/quote]
after I got this:
[quote]You need to edit the UK Region for this cache to
Southern England to better reflect where the cache is as you
have selected the 'South West'. You can view the UK Regions map
on the UK Wiki here
HTML https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/United+Kingdom#UnitedKingdom-ukmap.<br
/>This will show how the region boundaries are laid out.
Selecting the correct region ensures your cache is seen by your
local reviewer who knows the area well and cachers nearby will
be notified when your cache is published.[/quote]

I agree with you completely - I have always thought some of
their region boundaries were incorrect...I reckon they'll ignore
your comment and publish it anyway ::) :D

I have never understood groundspeak's regions for the UK. I had
that request to change from South West to South on the first
cache I hid.
I will not have the opportunity to do a lot of caching over the
next few months, but I hope to make it to this event as the last
couple were great fun.

It's the first time I've had the request, even though I've
always selected South West.
I wonder if they are pushing it, as more and more caches are
being published. GS should go the full hog and have cachers
select the county, then there wouldn't be this confusion about
made up regions [:o]

I had the same issue on the last couple of events I have
published, as you say it would make more sense to list it by
county.
Have you heard any more yet as I am itching to log a 'will
attend'
