Venue: Logan Wesleyan Methodist Church Hall, Waterford West

Time: 6-9PM

Mission: To attend a 16th Birthday party for two girls who love Star Wars. (Family of Redback Cadet Cryxblade)

Trooper Attendance:
TK19749 Scorpion - Stormtrooper: ANH Hero
TB12311 Teiwaz - Scout Trooper

Support Crew:
Dark Dora (Cadet)
Aasmetz (Cadet)

Details: This was the birthday party of two 16 year old girls Markiri and Courtney, but only Markiri knew anything about the party. It was a black and white themed party and they hired a professional face painter and a photo booth for the hall, so it was all a big surprise to Courtney. Not as big a surprise as ten minutes later, the Imperial Death March plays and out come 2 stormtroopers!

Great time had by all, many thanks to Scorpion and our cadet wranglers Dark Dora and Aasmetz.

Our fantastic cadet wranglers Dark Dora and Aasmetz working the snaps.


Love this kid.


But he turned on me as they do, people yelling "Finish him!"


Scorpion brought some skills


but was soon overpowered


So we snuck off to the photo booth



But the kids suggested it was time to do some work


So it was off to the kitchen


but I don't know how to face paint!


Maybe if I just stick to black


Droppin da bass


These are the smiles we were looking for. Happy Birthday girls!

Great time had by all

Good job guys

Well done guys .

Top work

Great job guys, looked like fun.

Was a great troop lots of fun

Way to party guys!!! Excellent!!

Troop went really well. Had a great time!

I wanted to offer a massive thank you to Teiwaz, Scorpion, Dark Dora and Aasmetz for making it an enjoyable evening. My daughter and her friends mother organized the whole party but it was Markeri that set up the 501st appearance with my help. She kept it a secret from everyone that was invited which added to the surprise value. It was good to see teens acting almost as silly as the little kids that were there. Here's a few extra pics but I have loads more.

Oh and a big round of applause to Scorpion for some amazing double-bladed lightsabre twirling despite the restictive nature of the armour.






















I hope to get myself sorted over the next few months to get myself a costume or two and to join in the amazing work that everyone does.


Again thanks very much to everyone

Cryxblade a pleasure to meet you and your family. Keep checking the boards for the public events and armour parties, we hope to see you again soon.
