Do ye scurvy dogs have this date marked in thy diaries? The Twenty Sixth of May 2007 AD! On this day ye, me shipmates will be put to a test of ye shipshapeness! Remember those who dress like they be true pirates, will win a bottle of rum, those who don't may prived their own grog and be lucky to see their daily rum rations! Be there or suffer the consiquences of reciving the black dot!
Since i can't be bothered to write like a pirate anymore and on a note for non competitors, my kid will be at the start, possibly the finish too, though we'll be leaving ealier than most after the finish because well.. obvious reasons, plus a lot of people who aren't in town so much anymore will be about.
