Another year I can't go. My crew and I had plans but then I had to go on course (real Navy stuff).

Hopfully the MANTICORE out of Ontario RF (presently relocating to the new site) will make it next year.

Looks like the Crew of the Polly Dodger will either be traveling from home or staying at a near by Inn. I haven't any of my crewmates showing interest in Camping. Ah well... I do hope to come by and partake of the festivies after faire though.

Ahoy, is there anyone that be attending said event?

(beerp)

Arr, well I say 12 - 12:30 for people to meet and greet, stynks.

Half an hour is not enough time to tie message board names to the real life faces of new and used shipmates. Not to mention hanging out to chat or just general carousing.

Last year it were a disaster, crews broke away early and then dispersed instead of coming back to where the Pyracy Pub be gathering. Picture opportunities were lost, a lot of people didn't meet and a lot didn't get met, real world friends weren't made.

Shouldn't the main event here really be about everyone from the Pub meeting?

. . . Should I be marooned?

How about 2:00. so anyone running late can make it. does anyone have a proble with 2:00pm meet up???????????? That won't cut into the scavenger hunt,and Like stynky says< half an hour is'nt alot of time,it takes a half an hour to get everyone to hold still for a picture......

I am looking forward to meet everyone again this year.

I can't imagine the meet n' greet being earlier than 11:30am, and those of us who want to participate in the scavenger hunt will need to go off at noon, so whoever wants to stick around can do so. Why don't ya meet us then go huntin' with us?

I guess I just mean to say it all sounds good to me...

Just remember... its teams of 2-3 and a $5 registration fee for the scavenger hunt.

I figurin' that if the hunt is over at 1:30 or 2:00 than the only thing anyone is missin is the 1st or 2nd pub.....and its not hard to catch up at a pub crawler....HA...that makes it more fun trying to catch up!!!!!!!!

But I may be alittle late and I don't see myself in the hunt anyway so... anytime after 11:30 should be good for me.....

How about 2:00.

2:00 sounds great. I know lots of people that don't even get to fair until after lunch time anyway.

So how about we use the White Heart Tavern as our all day base of operations. Those who arrive early can periodically check there for other members. The main assembley could be at 2:00, where we hangout, chat and wait for stragglers. Then sometime after 3:00 when it looks like everyone is present and accounted for, we take the group Pyracy Pub picture at 3:00. After that we can continue standing around displaying plumage and disperse as we would at a party, our hang out until the cannons go off, the singing ends and the police forces us off the property.

Why don't ya meet us then go huntin' with us?

I would love to but that hunting part takes effort. :lol:

I don't know, I just might. There is already so much to do at the fair and I never get to do, see or buy everything I want.

I know my kids are pretty excited about the scavenger hunt.

The White Hart is my home. I'm almost always there unless I've run off on a pub crawl. Our ship has a commissioning ceremony there on Saturday at noon and I'll be around there most of the day (minus a pub crawl or 2).

Stynky, wot time is you gettin' there?

Well that's going to depend on how much drinking the crew does the night before and the morning thereof. But most likely it's just going to be a matter of when the crew gets their arses out of bed and into long boats. Or maybe how big a breakfast Flint makes that morning. . .

When are you guys getting there?
