Another great event, but...........
The first being that I wasn't able to attend and help out Mike and the others as I have done since the beginning,
but also that [unless things change re: 'the powers that be']
this year was the last one to be held at the Mshed.
The event is a free open to all, showcasing the droids that have been hand built / 3D printed etc. as seen in film and TV shows, along with stalls, lucky-dip, and attended by fellow groups who just want to share in the experience.
These include the Dalek crew, MK Garrison and others.
This year was even attended by, a close friend of mine who I've known now for many many year lol,
Samantha Alleyne [first female stormtrooper] from:
the new Star Wars films trilogy
the anthology films Rogue One & Solo a Star Wars Story
& also the TV series Andor (filmed here in the UK).
Other attendees include......
Nathan Pegler & Brian Wheeler
These guys had a great time and were also popular with the public.
The stalls outside were also very popular and these along with the MK Garrison, in full costume, helped catch the passing public who didn't know about the event.
Here are some photos from the day:
Here are just some of the amazing droids.
Visitors to the event were asked about their thoughts of the day and what they liked most about it.
The response was 100% positive.
(Thanks to everyone)
This years chosen charity was the
Great Weston Air Ambulance
Mike is looking for a new venue..... so fingers crossed for 2027!
