Welcome to Rally 2008!

'Tis now time to dust down your peg leg, train your parrot and 'leave the landlubbers behind' to join Cap'n Alan, his first mate Helen and the rest of their pirate crew for Rally 2008. Weigh anchor and follow the treasure map to The Prince of Wales Hotel in Southport where you can man the decks under the sign of the skull and crossbones. Our treasure island for the weekend has a plentiful supply of grog and hundreds of bottles of rum, so don't forget to bring your pieces of eight. There will be plunder aplenty - and if we find any weevils in the ship`s biscuits, someone will walk the plank! If you feel the need to abandon ship during your stay, you'll not be marooned. Enjoy a few hours exploring Southport`s many attractions. Rest assured that the cabin boys and girls will be kept busy swabbing the decks, trimming the mainsail and having a fantastic time. Shiver me timbers! Set sail with the Pirates of the West Riding - or you may find yourself heading down to Davy Jones'` locker
