Eighty people slept the night in the Museum on the doubtfully wise date of Friday 13 May. There was a host of activities to amuse:
- Pirate galleon (Scrapheap) challenge- Washed-up Will's torchlit tour (aka Mr Dapper)
- Rescue de Pirate (aka John Henry Pascoe and Mr Trengrouse's equipment)
- Rope (string) making
- Badge and hat making
- Pirate sing-song (with a sing-off between the Scurvy Dogs and the Bloodthirsty Buccaneers)
- Midnight feast (with llights off immediately afterwards)
... somewhere in the middle of this was a little sleep followed by a HiDiHi wakeup call from Debs, a Scooby Doo movie and some breakfast.
People slept wherever they liked. One family even took over the polar tent.
The whole thing was organised by the dynamic Education duo, seen here clutching John Henry, 'assisted' by Stuart who seems to have taken pity on one small child who missed out on the chocolate.
