Mission Report:

What a great turn out from all the Star Wars clubs from around the region! There was the SCG from Sydney and the Canberra Region, BTS and Tython Base - Rebel Legion. We all converged on the Arena to begin set up between 8.30 am and 9 am. Just before 10am I had to kit up in the ladies public toilet and I got a few inquiring looks. I am sure my SGC mates would have got the same reaction too! The USS Tydirum crew from Starfleet were friendly and let us snap some photos but alas my phone was packed away. However, we all had lots of fun making people smile and giving them opportunities for happy snaps to take away.

There was lots of entertainment through out the day from the Marvel Superheros Stage Spectacular, Sons of Obiwan Saber Academy and the SCA - Medievalists.

We all moved freely during the day, entertaining all the families, fans and kids. Special shout out goes to the wonderful disabilities group of fans who stopped by to say hello.

There was even a greenscreen booth set up so people could have a snap of themselves in their cosplays.

I enjoyed interacting with and rangling R2D2.

All the crew from Tython and SCG dekitted around 4:30 and headed off home or onwards to other club activities.

Thanks for Goulburn Mulwaree Library and Goulburn Comic Con inviting us all along and look forward to doing it again next year.

Mission Status: Successful and a happy one.

this was again a super fun troop and somewhere we don't usually get to...

the addition of the night time markets and food trucks really helped the event feel bigger than it was whilst maintaining that community appeal!

will definitely be back
