Troop #6

 

July 1st: Reading Buses Open Day - supporting Autism Berkshire.

 

 

Hi all,

 

This was a really enjoyable troop. We shared the event with our friends from the UK Colonial Marines and were supporting Autism Berkshire. The event included behind the scenes tours of the bus depot, a selection of old and new buses, stalls, stands, face painting etc etc.

 

There was a good mix of people and it was specifically rewarding seeing the reaction of the young attendees with special needs. One adorable young lad of around 4yrs old was very fond of Lord Vader and offered him his red toy whistle. That put a smile on my face.

 

Temperatures were up to around 30C (86F) but our excellent spotters kept us in and out of the shade to get little breaks from the sun.

 

As always, it was lovely to meet up with troopers I know and new faces that I didn’t.

Not sure how much was raised yet but it seemed like a very successful event.

 

Thanks for stopping by. :-)

Troop #7

 

July 8th 2018 - NHS Family Fun Day

 

The NHS (National Health Service) is 70 this year and they wanted to celebrate this event by saying thank you to their staff and organising a family fun day, including fairground rides, petting zoo, inflatables, stalls, picnics, classic cars, to celebrate all things NHS.

 

We were invited along to bring order to the galaxy. It was around 33 degrees C / 91.4F so a scorcher of a day.

 

Didn’t get many photos from social media, I’m afraid. My wife and children came for some pics which I borrowed from her. :-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next troop in two weekends time. :-)

Troop #8

Let’s Rock London - July 28th 2018
Clapham Common, London

Now, THIS was a fun troop!! From our side, we were there to help raise money for a child bereavement charity who were collecting throughout the event.

We were very well looked after by the organisers and had almost free reign of the whole event area. Artists performing at this live, outdoor event included Go West, UB40, Boomtown Rats, The Jam, amongst many others.

As well as walking around and interacting with the public, we were also invited on to the stage for a brief appearance. Our awesome Deadpool (part of the UKG’s Reel Icons group) entertained the crowd with his boombox!! That was one heck of an experience!!

With a very dusty Clapham Common, my kits ended up looking like a sandy!! Lol

Troop #9

Reading Dragon Boats - August 19th 2018

Hi all.

This was a really fun troop, with a really nice vibe from the participants and crowds. Each Dragon boat team was raising money for local charities and, from what we hear, the event raised over £12,000.

We had 5 costumers and two spotters for the event.

Here’s some pics of the day, thanks to Rowan Read.















Overall, another wonderful troop. :-)

Troop #11

 

ElstreeCon 2.0 - Borehamwood

 

29th September 2018

 

 

Whilst this was a quiet event in terms of punters, it was a privilege to troop at the home of Star Wars. We were lucky enough to meet a few celebs, including Alan Harris, aka Bossk and a TK in ESB, as well as being allowed onto the backlot for a photo in front of the George Lucas stage.

Troop #12

 

October 27th - London Excel - MCM Comic Con

 

This was a very, VERY busy one! Walking around the venue, London’s Excel Centre, was a bit of a mission.

 

The UK Garrison put on a wonderful show, taking along our Death Star wall and a very wide range of characters. The Cantina band, with instruments and a very loud sound system), were stars of the show.

 

Only managed to find a few pictures on social media.
