MAD March 2013 - muppet - Sunday 24-Mar-2013 Date: 24th March, 2013 Venue: Bandstand Park, Wynnum Foreshore Time: 7-11am Mission: 4km walk for Awareness and Education of Melanoma, and Remembrance of loved ones affected by this insidious disease. Trooper Attendance: Rubber, Bullant, Redpaint, RebelRach, JGirl, Madine, Glitch, The Sniper, Stormraven, Bids, Mr Krunch, Chopper, Guest Trooper Attendance: Tanna, muppet, Kath, Support Crew: Ironclaw, Mrs Bids, Detail: An early start didnt deter the troopers from turning up on time. And what better way to start your Sunday, then a leisurely stroll along the beautiful Wynnum foreshore.The Jawa's felt like they were back at home, as the temperature was near the point of un-bearable. Many pics were taken, many smiles were made. The 4km walk was completed in not time, a brisk pace was set. Im very thankful to all you troopers and family for attending, as this means a lot to me. Sun cancer is a hideous disease and the more we can make people aware of it, the less chance people will have to deal with it. Charity Funds Raised: tins were rattled, and handed back into the MAD Injuries: muppet roled his ankle Malfunctions: n/a Public Incidents:if you include smiling people, hundreds Mission Status: Complete Photos: http://s45.photobucket.com/user/501qld/library/2013%20Campaigns/2013-03-24%20MAD%20March http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwHj_y3qEB0&feature=youtube_gdata how do you like your Jawa coffee? dark of course strike a pose, theres nothing to it, vouge, vogue, vogue C Mister Gonzales not a bad backdrop hard work being a Jawa rubber bringing up the rear and thats why you need a big gun group photo, too late Bids not a bad line up, Sean had a hard time deciding on which Rex to wear yes, its normal for a Stormtrooper to wear a kilt RE: MAD March 2013 - Bullant - Sunday 24-Mar-2013 Was a good day, think they need to start at 7am next year, was quite sweaty in the old TK by the end! RE: MAD March 2013 - redpaint - Sunday 24-Mar-2013 Was a good day. Shame it got so hot but otherwise was really fun.

It was super hot, and a note to new players, "DON'T TROOP IN CHEMICAL GLOVES". At about the 1/2 way mark I though my left hand felt warm, but put it down to the hot day. Recon I emptied a cup full of sweat out of each, and as for the cotton liners, well they went strait to the bin. The crowd was very responsive, and had many high 5's and pictures on the trip. MAD March 2013 - Rebelrach - Monday 25-Mar-2013 I had a great time, and awesome trooping with more folk I hadn't met, and the armour all looked great. Crowds were very receptive...the Ghostbusters music along the way was an added bonus! RE: MAD March 2013 - Doc - Monday 25-Mar-2013 Good work gang!!! RE: MAD March 2013 - chopper - Monday 25-Mar-2013 Was an awesome day for walk, good work all RE: MAD March 2013 - Angelman - Monday 25-Mar-2013 Well done troopers and wranglers, a personal thank you from me, I've lost part of my face and nose to this insidious disease, so it's a cause I'm pretty passionate about. Our costumes are pretty sun smart really (but unfortunately freaking hot). |
