Hello

As the other pirate thread is a bit jumbled with various dates and times etc... I thought I would make a newer more concise one. so....

Firstly Whats all this Pirate Malarky about?

well...

Tim is probably the wrong person to ask about the pirate meets, or indeed any meets in brighton as he normally drinks a bottle of rum and gets outragously drunk. sometimes waking up outside hospitals with no memory of the last 6 hours... However, last year and the year before, a relaxed day of drinking, eating, RAoKing and sunning oneself occurs on the one square of sand on brighton beach.

This is done while dressed as a pirate - I don't know why. But it is fun.

So When is it?

Well this year it will be on Saturday 15th July. With drinks and sweets on friday night at the Barley Mow and fry ups and shakeaways and general hangoverness on the sunday.

Shall we say meet at your most piratical at 13:00 at the mouth of Brighton Pier

But I'm new.... What do I expect?

Well I'll be defending my role of best dressed pirate... can you defeat me and steal my coveted trophy?

There'll be a picnic of lovelyness

There'll be a treasure hunt with thrown in RAoKs in the hunt - and fab dabby dosey prizes for the winners

there'll be general fun... maybe some crazy golf - maybe we'll get moderator Matt Fowler to take on challengers in a dance off.... oooh....

I'd buy a pint to anyone who could defeat that man

and there'll be booze.... lots of booze.....

However, even with all the alcohol this is one of very few meets (it maybe infact be the only meet) where joinees don't end up in a pub. We will be on the beach all day. So feel free to bring any Joinee Spawn - or yourself if you are a wee under 18er.

So old or new come to Brighton - there are hundreds of hostels, hotels, motels and B&Bs but we're talking brighton in July so START BOOKING NOW.

Otherwise I've heard that the beach is ludicrously uncomfortable and cold.....

Hope to see you guys there.

But it is a town based entirely around drunken debauchery.

And I'm not going to Penzance or the Carribean for tht weekend - too much travel.

You should come sahil. Have a bottle of rum and forget everything.

Tim - you might want to change that to July 15th.

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is to high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

I think I shall have a damn good go at being there, with my best dancing footware to hand (or foot)

Absolutely not planning to sleep over this year though - which means nobody should presume a supply of foil spaceblankets from me and my sis (for all the precious little good they did last year!).

I'll be there Friday night.
I'll be (preferably) stealing (a portion of) Maz's mahoosive bed.
I'll be drinking copious amounts of rum.
I'll be kicking Tim's arse at a drunken bout of Super Smash Bros.
I'll be leading a foray back to the crazy golf course on Sunday morning.
I'll be damned.
I'll be coming round the mountain when I come.

CHEESE AND WIIIIIIINE!!!

Lookin for a reasonably cheap place to stay but not coming up with much, hostel/cheap hotel beds seem to be in short supply and on a MINISCULE bujjit - any chance I could sponge some floorspace off someone? I'm dead small and make slightly below par cups of tea.

Also I'll be travelling down from richmond, north yorkshire (near scotch corner) - can I offer anyone a lift in the philmobile?

Hello !

I've had an idea...... might be impractical, but i'll give it a go anyway.

Does anyone here play any instruments ?

If so, bring your instrument of choice - be it triangle, tuba, guitar, bass, trombone, violin.

If I can, i'll bring my Flats set of drums with me.

I plan to provide entertainment for the villagers of Brighton.

Hope this doesn't intrude with any plans going on.......

tangentboy: If it's anything like previous Brighton Pirates, we'll be staked out on the beach for the day. The big pebble beach.

Driving/parking in Brighton is apparently a huge nightmare and I can't imagine you'll enjoy lugging a drumkit around and then trying to set it up / use it on the beach!

To be honest, I'd advise against it. My sis and I took tons of stuff along last year (to allow for sleeping out on the beach, which we did), and it taught me the value of travelling *light* for Brighton!

edit: Also, this is the routine safety nag about inflatable boats on the open sea - please don't require us to call the coastguard out for you!

The st. christophers inn in brighton is great- overlooks the pier and is very cheap. like £12 per night for cheapest i think. Can't believe I can't go to this meet! promised to work for sport relief that night

There's about 12 billion different sites with booking services for it- you tried them all? When I booked at christmas 2 sites said no rooms, a third let us book and there was no problem when we arrived!
