Mardi Gras 2012

15/2/2012

0 Comments

 
Another Mardi Gras float is coming up on March 3, 2012!

In 2009 we ran riot with brilliantly painted cardboard buses in the Sydney Queer Atheists Mardi Gras Bus Campaign;

In 2010 we nursed the world with Atheism: Cure for Discrimination;

In 2011 we came Out of the Atheist Closet!

In 2012 we're going to Fly Free from Religion, with a giant, pushable birdcage; open, of course!

We will have room for 40 people walking and two photographers. We're also looking for someone who doesn't want to come in the parade, but who has a ute or similar to bring our float to the city beforehand and take it away again after.

Our first face to face meeting will be on Sunday, February 5, 3pm at UTS. We'll be in the tower building - tell security you're there for the atheist meeting, walk down the big stairs, round to the left where there's a ramp. half way down the ramp is a little corridor, where you'll find us in room 318. There will be signs. Everyone is welcome! we'll be discussing the finer details of the float, signage, costuming, communications, entry fees, choreography and running a fundraising dinner and some working bees.

If you're interested in walking with us, helping out beforehand, or both, contact Kate at sydneyqueeratheists@gmail.com, join sqamg@googlegroups.com and/or find us on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/events/300112456695812/

Fundraiser for the atheist mardi gras float: Fly Free from Religion

Whether or not you're coming to Mardi Gras, enjoy a Lebanese banquet with Sydney Queer Atheists and other atheists and freethinkers, to help us raise money for the upcoming mardi gras float. We'll have atheist trivia, a belly dancer and a sneak peek at the choreography for the float - we'll convince even the most hesitant dancers that it's simple!

On the city end of King St, walking distance from Newtown or Macdonaldtown stations, plenty of buses and free parking in side streets such as Forbes St and Queen St.

Please RSVP by February 20 to sydneyqueeratheists@gmail.com so we can finalise the booking. Earlier notice would be appreciated! as would prepayment, as per the options at sydneyatheists.org/donate, and include "dinner" and your name in the details.
