Island Time 1,211 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 No Suggestions? Also looking for a musician or DJ, Phil can't do it this year, he's not well... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 143 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Seeing as global warming and sea level rise seem to be such popular active topics here recently, how about a Waterworld/Mad Max type thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 What shull we do with the drunken sailor? (With accompanying sea shanty music) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 how about a Waterworld/Mad Max type thing? Steampunk? Sounds cool! Not sure I'll be able to score the early finish at work on the day tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,211 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 I think Waterworld would be kind of hard to do without a lot of effort into making costumes etc?? Steampunk, whats that? What about "The Golden Days of Sail"?? Who's planning on coming this year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 306 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 The Sun Fast will be there. Maybe just choose a letter of the alphabet and that leaves it pretty open. It needs to be easy and open enough so that people can really run with it. This was our dress up for it a few years back when it was a 'T' theme. We were terrorists (very bad taste i know but it was pretty entertaining and a very large night). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dambo 44 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 it was pretty entertaining and a very large night). My sister just knows Booboo as "the large drunk terrorist who fell on her at Richmond" Yeah. A letter of the alphabet simplifies things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 There can surely be only one theme : Happy Teeth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScottiE 174 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Happy Teeth's wake! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. (Wikipedia definition). Or, in sailing terms, it's kinda like the attire worn in Waterworld. Which I think would look pretty awesome in the clubhouse later! Euphoria may be there, It kinda depends on my workload. I may just offer it to some mates for the night, the course won't be going the southern side of bean rock will it?

ScottiE 174 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Only for those who've made it through - or should that be over! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Jeez I dunno what happened to the font in my last post! We made it over, just left a few little bits of carbon as memorials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 397 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Yes the golden days of sail, and we could come as sealers or whalers....bloody hard to drag a dead happy teeth up to the front of Richmond though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Terry B 70 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Maybe pick a decade - eg 60's or 70's? Or do another letter one like T as done previously - it gives a lot of latitude to come up with something original (and not to costly) plus you're guaranteed to have a big variety of costumes - which is always a laugh. Or pick a colour as a theme? Xmas theme? Music? Wild West? Olympics - come dressed in your fav sport costume? Dress as a Beatles song (Yellow sub, Walrus, Eleanor Rigby etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,211 Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 I think the letter is a good idea, so the letter this year is E... Music now sorted... Entries are open! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
