Doc - IG
Dark Dora - DZ

Rebelrach - Jedi

Support Crew / Guest Trooper Attendance:
Ory - a teacher's aide at my kid's school who has never seen a Star Wars movie in his life!

Details:
(Sorry in adavance for all the photos!)
Teiwaz, Dark Dora and Scotty33 arrived around 10am and surveyed the area where Imperial citizens were to gather and have fun. We identified areas of possible concern where Rebel spies might seek to infiltrate.

Doc and Rebelrach arrived around 10.30 and headed into the reserved parking spot in Docking Bay 94.
Our wrangler Ory arrived about the same time and we got suited up.

First, we took a group photo:

Then we found the playground, decided to hang around there for a while:

Rebelrach confused an inflatable Superbat for a lightsaber and thought she could take on a Stormtrooper with it:

That didn't work, so she tried her Jedi skills again on poor old Connie, I'm pretty sure I heard her say "with the blast shield down, I can't see anything!":

We ran into one of Queensland's finest:

Took a group photo with our awesome wrangler:

From there, Doc and Rebelrach had to retreat about 1pm, Dark Dora, Teiwaz and Scotty33 were having so much fun we decided to visit the side of the fete we hadn't yet seen.

Teiwaz found a book that struck terror into his heart:

We played Jawa ringtoss:

And, generally, just ran amok:

Teiwaz found a tree to hug, so he was happy:

We then ran into a police koala, apparently he gets hot in his costume. Not sure what that's like, but I think he needs to contact Sly for some TKFANZ!

The troop ended with Teiwaz and Scotty33 butting into a game where we had to belt each other with padded bags. Teiwaz won 2-1, but fortunately for me, this is the only photo I have of someone actually making contact:

What a great troop this was. Great kids, well organised by the P&C, and good comms from the POC. Great job POCing Scotty and well done to your mate Ory, he's an awesome wrangler and obviously knows his way around playground duty. He took great photos too. Kudos to Doc and Rach for making the trek up the range too, a pleasure trooping with you. Doppeldaumen1

A fun troop, we were well received and thanks so much Scotty for being a great and organised POC!
Was great to troop at my dad's old primary school when he and my aunts attended in the 1950's!!!
Those red and blue slushies really hit the spot...despite the brain freeze! Ouch!
