20/11/2021 - East Anglian Winter Fair (Chelmsford)

 

My Induction Troop!

Fantastic introduction to the UKG - had a really great time with everyone and got to see some amazing costumes.

 

Walking around with Vader and Chewie was a blast.

 

Everyone was really welcoming and helpful, got inspired by Mr Tibbles to look up FISD and make an attempt at my EI and Centurion applications.

 

Got strangled by Chewie a fair bit, sang along with a choir and made a lot of people smile.

6/3/2022 - TK Maxx - Red Nose Day (Reading)

 

My first offical troop having passed my induction.

 

We were collecting for Red Nose Day and over the weekend we managed to raise £140!

 

Had a great time practicing being a statue, and managed to scare a couple of people who thought i was a mannequin, but the best bit was being randomly hugged by two small children.

3rd/4th Troop - MegaCon Live! Birmingham
 

 
My first My first "Big" Con - both as a trooper and in general. Had an amazing time and met some fantastic people.
 
Can't wait for the next one!

Favorite highlights:

- Jordans Blaster being fixed in the middle of Fort Dunlop bar. Metal rod, power drill, wooden drink stir sticks and epoxy resin all in use!
- Jawas riding bumper cars
- getting a compliment on my stormtrooper accent/voice
- The huge parade with all the amazing costumes
- someone in the early bird line saying “ah yes, you guys are what make a Con!”
- Recreation of the opening scene to ANH at our Tantive Wall. Stormtroopers vs Rebel Troopers
- Power Rangers from Reel Icons
- Helping a new recruit into their armour, I know I’m quite new still but felt very much like passing the baton. Great experience. I’ve also never seen a single human so happy about being branded!
- Dinner on Saturday with everyone at Hickory’s. Tony’s birthday being a particular highlight!
- Daleks and Tardis from Cyber Legion
- R2 builders club
- Being used as an example by one of our armourers as they were talking to a member of the public about how we make the costumes. He seemed quite pleased with the work I had done!
- finally working out how to get in and out of my armour without any assistance from anyone!

HighHighlights:

- Super busy, lots of good interactions with the general public

- Got to arrest my neighbours

- Confused my other neighbours daughter when she came running up to me and said, "I know where you live!". To which I replied, "Oh, you mean the Death Star?". Cue does-not-compute child reaction face

10th Troop - 18/11/22 - Pinewood Studios

 

Got to troop at the world famous Pinewood Studios - had an amazing time! It has now been a year since I joined the 501st (UKG) and it was my 10th Troop. The kids that attended the event had an amazing time and I'm looking forward to watching the film that Jedi News made at Star Wars Celebration next year!

11th Troop - 21/12/22 - Great Ormond Street Hospital Christmas Party

 

Bit of a bucket list troop this one - Star Wars got me into wanting to own a TK Suit and the charity side of the 501st is what got me to join the Garrison.

 

Made a load of Kids happy and a few adults as well... also got to arrest Santa - win!

My first ever Star Wars Celebration and my first "big con" as a paying attendee.

 

Totally amazing time, got to see some amazing things and meet some fantastic people - including a bunch from FISD!

 

Highlight was helping induct Annabel and Harrison Davis into the UKG as honoury members

14th Troop - 16/4/2023 - Ware's The Brick (Ware)

 

Second time doing this troop but this time I got to go out in my TK - just as fun as the first. I keep meeting people and telling them about it! Also got to see a friend from school that i've not seen in about 10-15 years!

15th Troop - 3/5/2023 - Great Ormond Street Hospital Visit (London)

 

Back to GOSH again, this time for my first Ward troop. It was a tough one both physcially and mentally but I'm really glad I did it. Seeing the kids, their parents and the nurses, doctors and staff so happy to see us really is something.

 

Best moment was seeing a kid get out of bed for the first time in 3 days so he could give us a fist bump. His mum was nearly in tears.
