Date:

Venue:

Time:
10:00-14:00
Mission:
To show encouragement to the people participating in the 35 Km walk/run fundraiser from Byron Bay to Ballina
Trooper Attendance:
CT8547 - Bullant (Comet)
ID76222 - jedimel (Imperial Officer)
SL8995 - muppet (Darth Vader)
TK15378 - Ratchet (Stormtrooper)
GA:
CRFT-0517 - Rory (RFT)
CID-0518 - Lauren (Imperial Officer)
CCC-0675 - Brock (Capt Rex)
CYOD-0678 - Maverick (Yoda)
Support Crew / Guest Trooper Attendance:
Chookie - Cadet Wrangler
Tappa - Cadet Wrangler
Details:
The RBG were invited to join in on this SCG troop considering it was only an hour over the border.
We arrived early, expecting a cold day in sea breeze to find a beautiful location with 24 degrees, blaring sun and zero breeze! And that didn't change all day.
We armoured up and spent the next 2 hours cheering and encouraging people onto the last checkpoint with 8km to go on the 35km walk.
Many hugs were give, many high fives and many photos taken.
Eventually we retreated to the shade and de-armoured, the heat was just too much to take, but the organisers were very happy and the majority of walkers/runners were very happy to see us on the course.
This was a great troop in a beautiful location, more people should think about venturing down south next time
I wanted to say a special thanks to Chookie for supplying us with water, home made chocolate cake, muffins and lollies (apparently, but last seen in the hands of the kids ...)
