Great Campaign this year. An improvement on last year with more trade, much better toilets, and reffing (I can only speak for Div3/M5 ref's) were spot on. The weather was great, (I've a tan and my hairs going blonde now) and the atmosphere amongst the UK and International teams.
With regards to the food, (before anyone starts complaining about that) yes the cheeky gits are overpricing us, (on of our guys is a Basildon local and knows how much these vendors charge at other events and its a lot less than they charge us) and yes Barry Fuggle did speak to them about this before hand but they seem to have ignored him sadly. Barry has said he will deal with this. The new Caribbean vendor was good and pretty reasonably priced though
Southern Pirates would love to give a massive shout out to pretty much everyone But especially Paula and Wendy and the Millennium girls for working tirelessly behind the scenes. Andy, Ade, and Spike from Dark Sports and Manic for awesome paint. Everyone at Eclipse for great kit, great teching, and being super helpful and smiley all weekend. The bar staff for providing reasonably priced drinks, Assala, Infected, and Loki for being extra friendly and great players. And Lemon for being an absolute star and loaning us her marker when one of our guys was told his wasn't set to Millennium settings. (Important note for Etek 3 owners, when you change the battery reset your settings as they default to PSP.)
If I've missed anyone sorry, but you're loved by us Pirates all the same and come see me for a hug
Pics and some video's below, including a number of pics of those people working behind the scenes to make your weekend great, and those that record it (i.e. photographers.) If anyone wants a full size copy of a picture drop me a PM with which one it is.

(Some of the pics are odd pics of random people as I tried to record the entire weekend and everyone we met.)
