WWFM VII (Canterbury) New Brighton, South Island, New Zealand
By ridders76 on 15-May-10. Waypoint GC2696V

fare well

Was too under the weather with a cold to make this one. Hope to see you all next time.

Our first event, good to put some faces to names.

Sounds like a great time had by all. Although I couldn't be there for the event as I was co-ordinating a Girl Guide Leaders training, I have converted about 10 more Guide muggles from around the South Island to geocaching I hope. Used it as part of a module called "Mystery and Theme Nights" so this will fit in nicely. Especially helpful as I was able to log onto the website and pull up map of areas they came from which had them asking lots of questions etc.

Can't wait for the next event so I can be there.

was great

Best we get a move on I suppose if we are to get there in time!

we are on our way....

A beautiful morning at New Brighton and good to catch up with fellow cachers. Thanks ridders (didn't stay for coffee - have to work on a puzzle).

Every bit as good as the first one. Good crowd. Enjoyed the coffee afterwards. Exchanged trackables

Thanks Ridders - nice to meet some new faces too.

Met up with a lot of folks that I hadn't seen for quite a while. Thanks to Stephen & Liz.

How nice to see all those smiley faces again - I've been out of it for a while. But now....
Perhaps I can claim a FTF for being the first name on the logsheet.
Many thanks to Ridders for organising this one on such a great day.(1802)

Probably not quite a flash mob as there wasn't much melting away afterwards - people were having too good a time catching up. Great to see all those new faces, too, some who have travelled from afar.
Thanks ridders, you picked a great day, weatherwise.

Thanks for an interesting event!

Puff puff, got there in time. Quite funny to see so much hi-viz at the far end of the pier. Thanks Ridders for organising the event.

Thanks for that something a bit different Good to meet somemore fellow cachers

Beautiful wwfm site. Got some local caching tips but had to come back to get the cache on the pier.

Our first FM event. Nice to meet both new friends and old, on the pier and afterwards at the nearby cafe. TFTC

Our first Flash Event. Good to see a few familiar faces and some new ones.Thanks for organising this event.

What a brilliant turn out. Don't think the fisherman knew what was happening hen we all arrived enmass.

The relaxing coffee and chat afterward was the perfect distraction for us in the morning as we had to go buy a house at auction that afternoon, which was successful.

3275. Just back home after our Mission trip to the Philippines with a Singapore stopover. Good to reconnect with local geocachers.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

first flash event,was alot of fun and good to put some names to faces. Thanks for holding event.

Wazza and the Wenches have invaded NZ on a (caching) holiday. Surprisingly the Wench is happy for BBTD and Wazza to chase caches wherever we go. (Including attending a FlashMob event)

'Find' number 600. The first WWFM we've been able to attend and it wasn't even in our own country . A great chance to meet some NZ cachers and enjoy a chat over coffee afterwards.

Thanks ridders76 for organising the FM and thanks to all the NZ cachers who made us feel so welcome.

Great to see a lot of faces that I hadn't seen in a while. Maybe we'll drag some of them out again to the upcoming Australian cacher visits as well Fun concept for a flashmob, there was talk about arranging a more literal 'flash mob' next time Cheers Gav [5829]

#1380 (2/8 in Eastern Chch). Our first flash mob event proved to be very enjoyable. Good to caht on the pier, and in the cafe afterwards. Thanks to ridders for organising.

Dropping in TB

That was so good.Our first Flash Event.And to catch up with other cachers,some we knew and some we didn't in the Cafe afterwards was a nice finish to an enjoyable morning.Thanks Ridders 76 for arranging it,looking forward to the next one.Cheers Barb & Terry.

Our first caching event

Sounds fun. I can scare down some sort of high vis thing.

Is someone going to be filming?

Will try to come, interested to know what a flash mob is!

Heading over the puddle for a cuppla weeks of touristy stuff and a spot of caching. Not sure about our timetable yet, but can probably be around CHC area for this event.

We have never been to a Flash Advent before,and as it is very close to home we will just have to come down and see what it's all about.

Hope to be there.
