April 2011

I say it every year – April is always a quiet month, don’t know why. No events this month.

We did gain a few new members though, Dean with his awesome Kick-Ass costume and Jeff with another excellent Vader.

March 2011

We were back at Memorabilia in March. The Heritage Centre kindly loaned us an original vehicle from the Judge Dredd movie and we set up an area for photos alongside.

The Judges were very popular again this weekend along with the horror characters. We had quite a few celebrities stop by for photos too.

February 2011

During february we launched the “sci fi at the movies” exhibition at the heritage motor centre

The exhibition features original and replica props/costumes from a host of different films and will run until september. Hollywood heroes will be appearing at a number of special weekends during its run.

The collection belongs to club member Luke Kaye who has been collecting all kinds of sci fi paraphernalia since he was young(er) and you can find out more about him here

The exhibition has been a huge success and thousands have already passed through the heritage centre’s doors to take a look around.

We also took time out to support a charity night at oscars restaurant in newcastle under lyme. Guests had their photos taken with Darth Vader, stormtrooper and princess leia to help raise money for the local junior school.

January 2011

There were no costuming events in January but we did have our third Xmas/New Year party. This time at Blunsdon House in Swindon where we had our very own sit down meal and disco. 

Everyone attending received a special commemorative mug and we partied hard till the early hours of the morning!

December 2010

Too cold for costuming!

As the country ground to a halt due to freezing temperatures and snow, so did we! No events this month - it was far too cold!

November 2010

Just when you think the year is winding down along come another four events! We started by promoting the release of The Force Unleashed 2 in Burton.

Then it was up to Magna again for Time War – Big 10 a doctor who themed event raising funds for Children in Need. 


Towards the end of the month we made another appearance at the winter Memorabilia show at the NEC where we were allowed to display a jeep used in the Tomb Raider movies – kindly loaned to us from our friends at the Heritage Motor Centre Museum in Gaydon (http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk) .

We closed the month by helping at a charity fundraising dinner for Aerobility (http://www.aerobility.com) where we helped them raise over £82,000 on the night!
