Aucklanders Gearing Up To Smash Water Pistol World Record For UNICEF NZ Tap Project

This Sunday 5th April, thousands of Aucklanders are being invited to take a shot at breaking the Guinness World Record™ for the world’s largest ever water pistol fight. More than 2,671 participants are needed to break the current world record, which was set in Spain in October 2007.

The world record attempt will take place at Western Springs Lakeside Park, Auckland from 11am-1pm. According to Guinness World Record ™ rules, every participant must register before taking part in the event. The on-site UNICEF registration table will be open from 10am and will remain open throughout the event.

Entry is free and participants can bring their own water pistols as long as they are standard, shop bought models (no customised pistols or gun replicas). Water pistols will be available at the event in exchange for a $2 UNICEF donation.

Children must be over six years old and every child under 14 years must have parental consent to participate.

Participants can preregister for the event by emailing jennifer@intermediary.co.nz for a registration form.

Directions to the water pistol fight can be found by typing ‘The UNICEF Guinness World Record Water Pistol Fight’ into Google Maps at http://maps.google.co.nz

Intermediary Communications has generously given up their time and expertise to organise the event. On top of this, water carriers, Foleys Water and O’Brien Line Ltd, have donated a water truck for the day and first aid experts from SPS Medics will be donating their time and resources.
