Mission: To help out Councillor Jan Grue with her Darth Koala Sculpture promotion and also get some free PR for the GC SN and DW2013

Azrael - TK (his 1st as a TK)
Apok - TD

Support Crew:

Spooky

Detail: Upon hearing that a photo was to be taken the team descended onto the Robina Community Centre, where Darth Koala is situated, ready to put a big smile on....under the helmet.

We were welcomed by councillor Grew of Division 11 on the GC with open arms and delicious chocolate brownies (homemade by her). After looking around her office and seeing some awesome Star Wars memorabillia we quickly armoured up and awaited the Gold Coast Suns photographer and reporter.

With Apok feeling silly that he forgot his thigh belt we quickly got down to Darth Koloa and a crowd quickly developed. Many pictures were taken and some fun was had as Councillor Grew, reporter and photographer all wanted to be force choked by Vader. Vader obliged and stragulation was had by all. Hooray!!

Once the pics were done it was time to head back to have some more brownies and a lovely ginger ale. Delicious!!!! All packed up we left with Councillor Grew well on our side and happy to help us in the future.

Charity Funds Raised: Zero as it was a photo shoot. We will be in the Gold Coast Bulletin on the 24/4/13 and the front page for the Gold Goast Sun Paper on the 1/4/13.

Injuries: Nil

Malfunctions: Apok forgot his belt for his thighs to attahced to so it meant holding on to them when walking and making sure they didn't fall down during the shoot.

Public Incidents: Photographer was almost hit by a few cars.

Mission Status: Total success. Pictures and story will be in paper and we have made a great friend of the Garrison in Councillor Grew.

Photos: Awaiting data transmission from Councillor Grew
