Detail: You couldn't have asked for a better day. The weather gods had turned the sun shine on for us, and with Moreton Bay as a background, you have perfect trooping conditions.
Troopers arrived on scene around 11am just before the punters began arriving. It was decided to armour up and show the locals the awesomeness of the Legion's finest. We were soon joined by a couple of Jedi, that must have used some mind trick on us, because we let them live.
It was a little quiet, and after photos were taken with the civilians, we watched some of them bowl a few lawn bowls on the green. Seemed simple enough, bowl a black ball down the length of the green and get it as close as possible to the little white ball called Jack or Kitty.
Troopers were asked to remove their foot wear before treading on the green, except Boba. He politely declined and no one was going to argue with him.
More jedi mind tricks were employed by the cheating Jedi, as none of our balls would go near the Jack, they would either turn to the right or the left.
It took the quick thinking Boba to work out, that the balls were biased and we were back on target.
The Jedi were no match for the Imperials.
The aroma of the bbq, was too strong to ignore, so lunch was taken. Then more balls were bowled. After many ends it was decided our mission was complete and our job was done. Troopers de-armoured and rehydrated.
