Oz Comic Con Homegrown Brisbane - March 2022 - satel - Monday 28-Mar-2022 Date: March 26 - 27, 2022 Venue: Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre Time: 9am to 5pm Mission: To bet back to trooping post COVID / under “new normal” and to bring the public the Star Wars characters they love while raising money for charity!

The EO’s were incredibly helpful, accommodating and nice. While the lead up was hectic due to overwhelming demand for floor space from vendors and fan clubs, the EO’s kept us as informed as best they could with all the changes to our booth size and location, even making further adjustments during bump in after we requested a bit more space be allotted to us. For such a small event compared to other Con’s at the venue, the crowds were very large. Despite the limited / crowded changing space we all seemed to manage relatively well. Roger was definitely a popular addition to the booth at this event, thank you Bolt! There were a number of occasions when troopers were asked to move out of the way so fans could get their photo with Roger. Even Vader was asked to move aside once or twice! It was great to see so many members face-to-face again, and to get back out there doing what we do best. I think / hope everyone had a great time, I know I certainly did. Charity Funds Raised: $1405.05 – $750.90 from booth donations, $364.15 from Hire-a-Tardis & $290 from the mixer raffle (thank you Wendell and & Slide Effect for organising the prizes!) Injuries / Malfunctions:
Prop issues:
Public Incidents: None Mission Status: Excellent outcome for our first Con outing in almost 3 years. Oz-Comic Con are eager to have us back in September for the main event and hopefully we can be back bigger and better. Children’s Cancer Institute also rang me this morning to extend their heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped out, they are very happy with the outcome and hope that we will support them again in future. RE: Oz Comic Con Homegrown Brisbane - March 2022 - Iceheart - Monday 28-Mar-2022 Thank you from the Tatooine Base for inviting us to troop and I believe we behaved ourselves on both days. Darth Vader’s belt buckle can be blamed on proximity to SlipStream….. RE: Oz Comic Con Homegrown Brisbane - March 2022 - APOK - Monday 28-Mar-2022 Great work everyone.
