Time for a very special weekend Wednesday Our Regional Event at Leicester Space Centre is in the history books. I think it was the first time that the Stargazer CO, XO, CoS and SO had all been in the same place at once. It was fantastic standing shoulder to shoulder with members from our fellow chapters the USS Iceni, USS Alba and USS York. We’re moving forwards, folks, and its an honour to be part of the Stargazer as we do so. Friday saw the crews drifiting in from the four corners of Region 20 (and beyond) as we arrived from Derby, Derbyshire, London, Scotland, and Germany. An informal night was had as much food, drink and banter followed. I won the ‘worst joke’ award (though I’m sure my shirt dazzled a few people) A small mishap with the fire alarm saw us wake up fire alarm failed to ruin a splendid evening. After breakfast in the same spot, we were off to the Space centre. It was quite nerve wracking making a speech as RC. Our activities were great fun where we learned team work. I’ve been to the Space Centre four times, and I’d never really taken the opportunity to explore it. It’s a fascinating place and really makes you think about the progress man has made towards the stars. Living fairly close to Leicester, I thought I could save a few bob and just stay over on Friday night. As the train took me home, I found myself wishing I had forked out for another night. Certainly something to consider for future events. I know that there are more photos out there, and I’m looking forward to seeing them trickle through. In recognition of representing the chapter to the region in the best possible light, let the record show formal CO’s commendations are to be logged for Bob Mabbit Ben Mabbit Colin Barrow Anni Potts Richard Sams Patrick Finn Amanda Barrow It’s not happening next weekend, but as we are in the final few days of availability I should point out that we are just over a month away from the SB24 banquet. I know a large contingent of SG crew are going to be there, but it would be great to see any more that can be able to make it. If you have booked, please make sure you get your menu choices to Charlotte. So, what’s happening this week? Well, Saturday the crew from the USS York are having a meeting in, you guessed it York! Sunday, I will be out and about travelling to Manchester for a Manchester Starfleet meet up at FAB Café. As ever, entry is free. It’s always nice to meet up with friends and I look forward to meeting as many of our crew as possible.
