Down Syndrome Walk
#1
Troop Report 
Date: Saturday 22nd October 2016

Venue: New Farm Park, Brisbane 

Time: 1500 - 1700 

Mission: To attend the annual Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk event at New Farm Park.

Trooper Attendance:
Rhino (SCG) – TD
Imperial Drone – TI:RP
Rebelrach - TS (trial wear with GML approval)
Doc - TB
Stormraven - DZ
RL:
Alrakis – Jedi
Galactic Academy
JJ – Boba Fett

Support Crew:

Gai (SCG) – wrangle
Tobalation (RL) – wrangle
Jess (GA) - photos
Details:  An inclement day but still very busy at the park, troopers assembled for a car park change.  Walking through the Powerhouse complex we were stopped for photos by a few folk, then headed down to the park meeting point. The crowds grew as the troopers approached, many pics taken and high fives given. We led the walk along the river’s edge then through the park, before coming back and joining in some games, soccer, cricket and a sing along. JJ proved he was great at soccer in and out of his kit, Rhino made a good striker, Alrakis was pretty handy with the cricket bat and Rach was bowled out first ball. (some excuse about not being able to see in her helmet).
Another great troop completed, we dekitted then headed off to the Merthyr Bowls club for refreshments, and to help Imperial Drone celebrate a belated Birthday.
Charity Funds Raised: Nil

Injuries / Malfunctions: NIL

Public Incidents: NIL.

Mission Status: A success. We are well received by the kids and families, and the organisers appreciate us being there.

This would be one of our favorite top two Troops of the year - the delight on the faces of the kids (and parents) interacting with us is priceless.
Thanks for having us along Stormraven (we might have missed it as it didn't appear in the RL events).
Also, the look of horror on the faces of the two kids at the Powerhouse when they thought their scooters had been "seized" by the Empire was golden (took a few Jedi mind tricks to convince them they would be returned as "they weren't the scooters the Troopers were looking for".
Looking forward to next year.

Taking all bets for the scooter race between the snow trooper and the tk! Who will win??
"Hey X-Mez!"

"Damn it, it's pronounced Xmez with a Z. Like the X in xylophone, or xerxes, or xenomorph." 

"Sure thing X-Mez. Whatever you say."
