Back to the Steam Museum

"Theres's one. Set for stun!"

As part of our continuing support for the Sci Fi at the Movies Exhibition, we made two further appearance in April at the Steam Museum in Swindon.

Warming up at the start of the day

We were joined by new characters such as Predators and Doctor Who as well as the usual favourites.

Tally ho!

Sci Fi at the Movies - Opening Weekend at Steam Museum

Thousands flocked to the Steam Museum in Swindon to help us launch this years Sci Fi at the Movies Exhibition.

We were joined by characters from the GK, SO16 and MKG including Darth Vader, Spiderman, Judge Dredd and many more.

Star Wars actors were also on hand to sign autographs.

Displays included replica props and costumes from Star Wars, The Terminator, Harry Potter and many more.

The museum welcomed over 400 visitors this weekend - thats seven times more than usual!

It runs till May 20th.

Winter Memorabilia Show at the NEC

November means the Winter Memorabilia show at the NEC and the Hollywood Heroes didn't dissapoint. We had Jabba installed on his new throne surrounded by Gammorean Guards, a slave Leia and Chewie! 

Very little and very large

We were also joined by member of the GK (Galactic Knights) who provided us with a variety of Clonetroopers.

The Wolf Pack

 The aim of the weekend was fundraising and by the end of Sunday we had managed to raise a little over £900 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Tired...but worth it!

September 2011

The long arm of the law

We kicked off September saying goodbye to the Heritage Motor Museum as we celebrated the end of the hugely successful “Sci Fi at the Movies” Exhibition.

HH Juniors in action

Star Wars characters were on hand once again to interact with the crowd. A couple of the HH Juniors also donned costumes and took part!

August 2011

As temperatures rose we helped out at more funfairs. The first of these was in Huddersfield where we were joined by newcomer Jonny and his amazing Predator costume.

Next up was Leeds again – this time at Roundhay Park. Where Badger managed to press gang a group of his fellow teachers into donning costumes like Scooby Doo, Spongebob and Bob the Builder. Two great events that helped raised even more money for our charities.

July 2011

How many lightsabers?!?

The Heritage Centre held their Sci Fi weekend and we returned en masse again (our home away from home this year!) On the Sunday we attempted a new world record for the biggest lightsabre battle.

We helped out again at Macfest at the Macintyre School in Wingrave. 

This years theme was “Mac to the Future” and despite rain at the start everyone had a great time and the event was another huge success.

The month closed with appearances at two fun fairs. 

This first was a day at Spalding in Lincolnshire. Next door was a huge car boot sale and we managed to pick up a few bargains ;) 

The next was a two day event up at Leeds. 

The weekend was extra special as it was also the wedding of member SparkySteve to Rachel – congratulations! However, the evening do was gatecrashed by a certain square pants wearing individual!
