Currimundi SS fete - stormraven - Sunday 1-Sep-2013 Date: 31/08/13 Venue: Currimundi State School Time: 10 -1230 Mission: To wow the crowds of the science spectacular fair with some visitors from a galaxy faf far away Trooper Attendance: 4056 Stormraven ID 26976 Duras TK Support Crew / Guest Trooper Attendance: Mickie.J wrangler solo ( just "happened" to be walking past the school ) Details: Most of the preliminary scouting had been carried out by Ashbash, but only a few days before the event she failed to dodge out of the way of the floor ( makes a change from trees I suppose ) and was ruled out by the medical staff. Arriving early Duras and Stormraven proceeded to get changed near the school but being near a beach the locals were pretty used to seeing guys in skins/wetsuits changing so at first we didn't get to much attention. Once Duras put his armour on that began to change, we were also join by Mike.J who came along to wrangle for us. Solo also made a brief appearance but has he was taking his youngling along to a birthday party he couldn't stay. For a while we remained at the front gate of the school handing out maps and questionnaires to the carnival attendees, but there were a few passerby's who stopped and requested a snapshot for an Imperial souvenir. We then proceeded into the main school area and found that despite all the Rebel propaganda the Imperial presence was welcomed and appreciated. Duras showed off his imperial gunnery skills at a "beat a teacher" target range and didn't hit a thing great way to impress the locals trooper Approaching the main hall we heard the strains of a familiar tune being played by the school band, and as if arranged by Lord Vader himself our entry was to the tune of the Imperial march. Much to the amazement of the crowd and the band. After being available for even more photo opportunities we continued on way stopping at various stalls and even a roller derby recruiting stand. Though after a tough year of trooping some of Duras armor couldn't stand the pressure any more so we finished up just after lunch. Injuries / Malfunctions: Duras's neckseal came off - again apparently. Public Incidents: there were about 3 cases of screaming younglings at Duras's presence but many more of joy and amazement Mission Status: Another success to add to the Redbacks list of achievements.

Don't stress Duras, the more laser bolts you get in the air, the more likely you will hit something. Currimundi SS fete - ashbash - Sunday 1-Sep-2013 Sorry I couldn't go Well done and thanks Stormraven for taking POC at short notice. Currimundi SS fete - ashbash - Monday 2-Sep-2013 I received this email this morning: Thank you for taking part in our recent Currimundi Carnival & Science Spectacular at Currimundi State Primary School. We have been receiving lot's of positive feedback from people that enjoyed the day and we hope you did also. We would really appreciate any input you have that would make it even better. Thank you again for taking part, you have been an important part of the days success. We hope to see you again at our next spectacular in 2 years time. Warmest regards, Alice Taylor-Tighe, Lynne Baker, Noni Burke Carnival Coordinators --- Well done Stormraven & Duras! RE: Currimundi SS fete - stormraven - Monday 2-Sep-2013 Hey Ash I would like to tell them that the crowds/kids were really well behaved and the only thing I would have liked would be a change/rest area. It wasn't an issue this troop as there were only the 2 of us in costume but next time we could have a few more present, and it would be great if we had an area to rest and changed over every now and again . Also mention that if the band decides to play the Imperial march again we would be happy to be present for it, we just happened to turn up at the right time this year. RE: Currimundi SS fete - Duras - Monday 2-Sep-2013 yep what Stormraven says covers it RE: Currimundi SS fete - scope - Tuesday 3-Sep-2013 great work troopers, well done RE: Currimundi SS fete - Jaster - Wednesday 4-Sep-2013 Well done guys, sorry I couldn't make it busy getting ready for my new job. |
