    I read that it'll be an Air Ambulance Fundraiser in Shepton Mallet. I was wondering that if it was an event for anybody to attend and what I could do there in terms of meeting up the garrison. Is it a full-on UKG event or will you guys be making an appearance? I apologise for being vague as I don't really know how to phrase my question as I haven't been to an event to know how it's like.

    Yes anyone can attend this event as a member of the public.  Just look out for the UKG troopers (we won't be hard to spot)!  Introduce yourself to one of our spotters (they will be wearing UKG jackets/T-shirts).  We will then give you a proper UKG welcome! :smiley-sw013: Basically we are there to help bring in the public to help with fundraising etc.  We pose for photos and provide 'crowd control' - 'arresting' unsuspecting members of the public etc.  

    Come along if you can make it Evan.  When you see the UKG/501st in action you will be impressed I'm sure! :)

    I am indeed on facebook. I will put a link to my profile here:

    I have not attended any of the UKG events. I've always heard of them but was never sure when the events would pop up. I would definitely love to attend one relatively near my vicinity. My registration to the UKG forums have just been activated and I am currently looking through at the guidelines and all :)

    Cool!  We are going to be at Shepton Mallet on the 8th June and near Salisbury on the 14th June.  Are these any good for you?  :)

    Hi Evan,

    When your registration to the UKG forums gets activated try posting an introduction thread on the public access forum.  Just let the guys know a little about yourself and your interests etc.  The South West Troopers site is on Facebook but I think it is a closed group and you need to be invited to join in order to view.  Are you on Facebook?  If so then I will ask the admin guys to see if we can get an invite to the group set up.  Have you attended any of the UKG SW Events?  It might be a good idea to come along to one and meet the guys and introduce yourself.  We have a few coming up soon so let me know if you would like details of where we will be in the next few weeks.  :)

    Hi and welcome from the Westcountry!   :)  Both Kathy and myself wear AP and its good armour but we are only 5ft 4in.  I think it is better suited to smaller troopers.  As Steve says body size can be a big factor in deciding what armour to choose.  Different armours suit different body types so take your time and research carefully.  A word of warning - avoid Ebay!

    Hi,

    Dyeing black boots white isn't as hard as you think as long as you prepare them properly first.  We used super strength nail varnish acetone remover and a scourer to remove all traces of polish first then then preparer that came with the dye.  We used Tarrago white dye which you can find on ebay.  My wife's boots took about four coats and are still looking good after 17 troops!  If you need any help just ask!  :)
