Bring It On... WOrthing International Birdman 2011 - 13/14 August 2010

Wilde's Word

Hi I'm Wilde about Worthing Birdman !!! I am the new mascot for the competition and if you keep your eyes out for me in 2009 I am sure you will see me around Town. 

My name comes from Oscar Wilde who wrote "The Importance of Being Earnest" while visiting Worthing and one of the characters is named after my new home town.

I was designed by Mike Payne who is an International award-winning cartoonist and illustrator.   More information on Mike can be found at www.mikepaynestudio.com

Wilde about meetings

04/08/10 I have found out that the organisers of the event think I am such a good mascot and seagull that they have made loads of badges and cool stuff with my picture on them and will be selling them at the Birdman competition. The items will be at the competitor check in desk located at the East side of the Pier. Oscar laughed so much when he saw the keyring he said they certainly hadn't caught my best side. My mum is very proud to have a model seagull for a son.  

02/08/10 Well I am back from a brief holiday in Devon and I am refreshed and ready for Birdman, Sid is so excited about Eddie the Eagle he is looking forward to getting his wing print! I did tell him Edddie is a man but Sid just doesn't understand.

30/06/10 Well i can't believe it's almost July i have so much to do and it won't be long before it's birdman too. My friends are all excited and there are some great entries this year I am looking forward to meeting Wallace and Gromit whilst Sid is excited about Batman and Robin. Oh well am off to meet my mum and have an ice cream.

25/05/10 Oscar and Sid have been trying to get some more friends together to take part in Worthing World Cup in July they hope to score the most goals and win £500 for charity!

01/04/10 Oscar is very excited an Italian Market will be in town in April I wonder if I will be able to buy pizza there?

29/03/10 I heard from Sid that there will be a roller rink in town in April better get my skates out again!

18/02/10 No valentines cards for me but I did get some chocolate! I hear that Eddie the Eagle is due to fly at the Birdman this year. I hope eagles don't eat seagulls! Sid told me that Eddie the Eagle is a man not a bird and is known for skiing. I am confused! Oscar explained that Eddie is famous so i look forward to getting his autograph!

26/01/10 Well it's warmer and I have bought skates ready for the ice rink. Oscar has told me that the forms for the Worthing Birdman 2010 are now available and he and Sid are planning an entry together. I have heard of Batman and Robin but never of Ospray and Squid! Oh well I am sure there will be more unusual enteries than that!

 08/01/10 So much to look forward to this year, I have been told there will be quite a lot going on and in February there will be a real ice rink, woo hoo! I wonder how much it is for seagulls?!

Sid has gone on Holiday and Oscar has decided after his recent exploits on the snow that he is going to stay indoors and keep warm. I don't blame them, I am off to see my mum for tea and cake..

04/01/10 Well it's the new year and a new decade and I am already getting excited about the Worthing Birdman 2010. The snow has been fun but very difficult to land on and Oscar just kept going the other day it was so icey he could'nt stop!

28/12/09 Well I got all that I asked for and more and Santa did remember my new address! Christmas was very exicting with lots going on and I would like to wish all my friends a Happy New Year.
