Hi Andrew, not quite sure this is what you were thinking, but "OSM Geography Awareness Week" will be held 13-19 November this year. We're aiming to get 100 mapathons going around the world during that week: http://osmgeoweek.org/
Would encourage you (and all of us) to think about hosting or helping with an event in your area.
