Team 2 report by Beanie
the group was split into 2 with team 2 having TKs Beanie, Badsy & Jaggered with Officer Bids.
We set out to met a young teenage girl up in one of the wards that was looking forward to seeing us, she asked us to play a magic card games with her and it seemed the Starlight Captain was a Jedi when the Captain picked the correct card, and they claim it was a magic trick... pfft thats Jedi mind trickier i say! we also played a hand of "Go Fish" which TK 4159 had won.
Imperial 1 - The Kids 0
So off we went to the next level to visit a few more children, this young boy had a game called "Scrutiny" where the board has 10 holes and 2 sides have 4 holes with 4 pebbles in them... the aim of the game is to place a the 4 lots of 4 pebbles one at a time around into each of the holes until your side of the board is empty... so it was on, Boy vs Bids... this little one has played many games with his father and beaten him many times, so it was on... and well he pulled out some tricky moves and well the imperials lost.
Imperials 1 - The Kids 1
we decided that it best we go onto the next kid to try our luck on the Jenga (not to be confused with Jango Fetts Game) this boy was a clever little boy called Sith.... or was it Seth?? He was quick to test the imperials balancing and mind with this Building blocks game.
Bids again was up for the challenge, slowing pulling a block out form the stack and placing it on top... slowly the 2 removed and stacked... the stack was knocked over by.... us the imperials.
Imperials 1 - The Kids 2
the young boy challenged the imperials again, this time it was ON.
the moves was slower and the stacking more precise and after about 5 mins the stack was twice the original height... the top stack was a piece going left and a piece on top of that going right... it was tense! the young boy tries to remove a piece half way up the stack until..... it all came down.
Imperials 2 - The Kids 2
it was a tie! we then moved to level 8 and walked around to find the children but.. they are all Healthy which i guess is great, but no one was there to see us... no wait... the nurses and a couple of Mums saw us and got a few more pictures.
We then returned to Level 4 Starlight room to find team 1 already entertaining the the room, got a group picture and left to fight another day.
End of beanies team report.
Team 1 report by scope
the Deathstar elevator arrives and transports sideshowmel,stormraven,Wolf and scope to the starlight room for thumbs up photo and kick off for another kids hospital visit.
Mel quickly engages the kids in making sure they are turning channel 13 on cause star wars is on T.V. ( hey we are famous ) Lol
Some kids were fans of star wars and some had never watched one, oh well, now you have met us will you give it a try for us ? maybe one kid said.
Cuddles were handed out to anyone who wanted one and lots of smiles were shared, we had a great time meeting 14 kids and thier families.
We headed back to the starlight room to see the kids colouring in, playing computer games and doing crafts where 2 little girls decided put a pink fluffy pom pom on the nose on a stormtrooper with sticky tape and 2 pink pipe cleaner antenia on each of the TK's ears to which one little girl had the giggles long after she finished her work of art.
Lucky no one had a camera !!!
Of course way too soon the transport arrived for despatch of the troops and we all boarded and headed for our home (the deathstar)
If you have never done a hospital troop we all highly recommend that you put your name down for one as it is the most rewarding time you can have as a volunteer 501st.
"God bless all the kids we saw today and we wish you better"
