89Batman[TK] Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) http://www.flickr.com/photos/89batman/s ... 68/detail/ The UKG were at The London Expo last weekend for the new Mem- Expo event. This was an amazing troop and we really stole the show. Three days of hard core trooping!! It was great to see everyone together and we were joined by the CO of the UK Rebel Legion and the R2 owners club! We also were joined by several new recruits who some may say had a trial by fire, talk about in at the deep end. They all loved it though and appear to be hooked! On the Saturday we were asked by the Starlight foundation to attend and make a wish come true for a lovely little boy who is sadly terminally ill. It was an honour and a privilege to be able to be a part of making that little boy's dream come true. The event was huge success for us and we were able to show off some of our new and old props. Some of you may recognise the Death Star corridor from CE but the speeder is new. Renovated by the Vectis Remnant squad led by our very own Matt Sparling. Matt and the guys really stepped up to the plate when the speeder was going to be sold off or worse still scrapped!! I am sure that you will alll agree they did a fine job and it was a huge hit at the weekend. This led to them receiving one our highest honours, The Graham Campbell award, so named after our founder. I had the privilege of presenting this to them at our annual ball on the Saturday evening. This is probably the largest event in the UK and looks set to grow and grow. I hope maybe some of our brothers from overseas may be able to join us next year.
