A Loose Alliance Pirate Day 2012

Avatar

Shiver me Timbers mi fellow Buccaneers, it be that time of year agin!! Come down off yee poopdeck and look to the mountains!

A Loose Alliance Pirate day (or long weekend!) is back for the third year running. Running on the 18th and 19th of August at Selwyn snowfields. This is an open invite to Boardworld members, come get your pirate on if your free that weekend. It would be good to see a few BW pirate heads this year.

Get involved at Either the event page http://www.facebook.com/events/417524591591642/
or A LOOSE ALLIANCE PAGE http://www.facebook.com/pages/a-loose-alliance/466042570231

Come down to Selwyn, bring your best pirate gear and your ship (board/skis)

Leave your egos at home- its hard to look too cool when your dressed as a pirate (or a parrot)! Any level of rider is welcome, from beginners to Terje wink.

Cheap passes ($25 park pass) and cheap accommodation mean that it doesn’t cost much.

More Info soon…...

Here is a little promo vid (Watch HD!! I didn’t spend 6hrs rendering for it to be watched in SD wink )



and remember, the average man will bristle if you say his father was dishonest, but he will brag a little if he discovers that his great-grandfather was a pirate smile.

Accommodation: At this stage there are two options. 16 spots available at $62.50 per person. 24 spots available at $71 per person. This covers you for BOTH nights (fri 17th and Sat 18th) Message either of the hosts for details on what those different options include and what spots are left!

Event page: http://www.facebook.com/events/417524591591642/


THESE OPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT- go to the event page and enquire and we will send you the accom options remaining (they are still relatively cheap just not as cheap as the early bird prices above).


We have a limited number of Pirate Day 3 shirts available with the logo below .......a few BW members have PM’d me on Facecrack asking about them. I’d be stoked if people that couldn’t make it this year still wanted a shirt.
So if anyone wants one, BW members can get them for the same price as people going to pirate day who preorder.
Thats $22 (+$10 express post if mailing) or I can get them to the Shred/meet up somewhere as well to get rid of p/h.

You can check out a bit more about them, including sizes here

I was really keen to come! And I would have snowboarded - But it is on a training weekend so I can’t :-(

But I could help ferry people to Cooma if that helps for lifts?

Seriously considering coming.
Be myself, Tambo, Wildman and Mini Shred.

Is it kid friendly? Would be a massive day for us, 10 hours drive and 6 hours on snow…....... worth it?

you can’t make a weekend of it? saturday is the dress up day and we’ll all ride again on the sunday?! Definitely kid friendly. Last year there was some other people’s kid(s) - no parents in sight who just attached themselves to us. A little boy about 8 on skis who was hilarious!
If I swear when I inevitably crash, I’ll try to do it in Swedish. hahaha

Yep training both days. I don’t have to go but it is in my best interest to go, As the quicker I get thru the better, Training is set up for every second weekend from the long week til the end of the season.

I can get people from the Sydney CBD to Cooma. Depending on what time we escape the city I may be able to drive them to Adaminaby if they I like em grin

So your not willing to ferry people to and fro Syd-Cooma?  smirk

The date looks good for PP to attend - we already have a ship built!
