Date: 19th March 2016
Venue: Vincent State School, Townsville
Time: 8.00-10.30am
Mission: To help raise funds for cancer treatment for Zander (a local little boy)
Trooper Attendance: 3
RBG: TR 16426 Red Empress,
TK 13974 DannytheBlue
Jawa 25087 Pecklez
Details: It was a steamy morning in Townsville outside the polling station so we tried to find some shade next to all the goodies for sale. We were lucky to have a guest trooper for this event Pecklez had travelled up from Proserpine especially. The day was a great success; cakes went down very well as did photos with our troopers, we posed (for a fee) in the sunshine with voters of all ages! Dannytheblue even got a few votes but I don't think he'll make mayor
Charity Funds Raised: So far well over $1000, not fully counted up yet!
Injuries / Malfunctions: Muddy grass is no place for a Royal guard
Public Incidents: As we returned at the end of a successful morning we discovered Pecklez had lost her car key. Not good as she was three hours from home and her spare key. Worse still her phone, wallet and shoes were in the locked car and she was dressed as a jawa. Everyone searched .... no key. Drama ensued as we travelled in vain to locked police stations hoping someone had handed in the key. We then searched for a garage that would make us a new key, all shut. Note for future reference: Townsville is closed on Saturdays for all emergencies! Poor Peckles eventually got towed home and had a well deserved drink
Mission Status: Accomplished

"Purple alert! Purple alert!" What`s a purple alert?" "Well, it`s not as bad as a red alert, but a bit worse than a blue alert... sort of a mauve alert."
