Mission Report:

The GAMMA.CON festival is a celebration of pop culture run by the non-profit organisation The GAMMA.CON Society Inc. Staffed 100% by volunteers, the GAMMA.CON festival is an event dedicated to entertaining casual and dedicated fans of TV, anime, movies, books, comics, gaming, technology and collectables. As the largest pop culture event of this kind in the ACT/Southern NSW region GAMMA.CON prides itself on providing as much content as possible to our attendees at a great price.

Gamma Con is a great regional convention that the Legion has been a part of for years. It is always a great opportunity to share our love of Star Wars with our local community and possibly recruit new local regional members. As usual we combined our space with the Southern Cross Garrison and our integrated information table and trooping set up worked really well. It was a great team effort manning the table and having people rotate in and out of costume over the two day event. Thanks so much for everyone's hard work.

We had a great location located next to our intergalactic friends from Star Trek and Dalek adventurers, with lots of space to move around in the Buddawang Pavilion, with a decent change space too.

Most of the attendees also attended a social dinner on the Saturday night at The George Harcourt Inn to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the SCG. A great night was had by all. Good food and good company.

Mission Status: A great weekend overall, looking forward to participating again next year.
