gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 EVENT: Bricktober, LOCATION: Curtin Uni DATE: 6/7 October 2018 TIME: 0900-1500 each day LANDSCAPE/WEATHER: Indoors TROOPERS: Day 1 TK59226 – Jezzapm – Jerry TK85421 – Q – Glen TK671 – TK671- Mark SL51164 – DV64 – Stuart WRANGLERS: Marie Em REPORT: Day one began with troopers arriving at the rendezvous at the designated time and proceeded to the change area to drop off our kit before having a look around at the displays. We found Biker Scout Ben and his display, of surprisingly enough Star Wars figures, which he had entered into the competition. We then went back to the change area and got kited up ready for the long day of trooping ahead. When we walked out to the auditorium, the master of ceremonies made an announcement that Darth Vader had entered the building, this meant that we got mobbed before we could even move past the aisle way and into the middle of the arena where it was a bit more open. After about half an hour there was a lull in the mad mob so we made a break for the open area where we were able to get more control and not be blocking the walk way. There were many photos with many people so after a further hour we went back to the change area for a short break. Drinks, fruit and biscuits were provided for all the volunteers so after replenishing ourselves, it was back to the arena and more photos with more peoples. At lunch time wrangler Marie was dispatched to obtain further sustenance for the troopers, this was a sausage in a roll. After lunch had been consumed we hit the arena for another couple of hours until DV64 had to bid us farewell, then about three pm Q and Jezza gave it away for the day. Trooper TK671 made the decision to keep going until about four pm, truly a magnificent effort on his behalf. TROOPERS: Day 2 TK/TI59226 – Jezzapm – Jerry TK/Lego Head85421 – Q – Glen ID36267 – Gyurizon – Luke TR13310 – Liz – Liz WRANGLERS: Marie REPORT: Day 2 began with Q in his Lego head and Liz starting the day by themselves, with Jezza and Marie, followed by Gyurizon arriving a bit later. Luke came already dressed to impress, in his Officer uniform, so went straight out to join our fearless Leader and her yellow headed companion while Jezza got changed. We were all soon out doing what we do best. After lunch of Sausage in a roll once again, Q changed into his TK helmet, he’d had enough of being a little jaundiced. This prompted Jezza to change into his TI reserve. We trooped on until 1500 with a few short breaks to re-hydrate. Then it was time to rest our aching bodies. After changing we went back and said goodbye to BS Ben, before departing to our respective residences. CHARITY: $1000 for Telethon INJURIES: A few aching muscles. ARMOUR REPAIRS: Nil HAPPY PEOPLE: Most of the people that attended. UNHAPPY PEOPLE: A few younglings not at all sure of the troopers. MISSION STATUS: Complete REPORT BY: Jerry & Marie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
