Besides,you can’t have a good ‘Pillage and Plunder Party’with only two people!A number of brave souls showed up intrigued bytheir snappy campaign slogan - ‘Were you Bjornto be Wild?’ - not knowing what to expect.Many secret rituals and traditions were revealedto the Viking wannabe’s and after signing anoath of secrecy in blood the recruits wererequired to audition and prove they had what ittakes. While not everyone made the cut, no onewas ‘Thor-y’ that they tried!CM has exclusive photos of ‘Viking Initiation2011’ on page 5. Full colour in the online version.
