Looking forward to it. See you there!

I'll get in touch closer to the time re parking, somewhere to change, etc.

Cheers, Phil

By the way - was that you in the Vader in Evan's shop the other day?

Yes it was, a very excited mum saw me while she was walking with her son, then to give him the courage to meet me we enticed him into the shop with one of Evans light sabers and ended up having a duel in the street at dusk, what a sight for the next door neighbours and passing traffic that night. :D

That's what I love about Wellington - you can bump in to anything in the streets and no-one minds, it's all great fun.

Well, we have just had our Home & School meeting tonight to discuss the Gala for Sunday May 24th.
It's all go, rain hail or shine for this time around.
If it's wet It will be more of a garage sale type of event with everything confined to the school hall, surrounding gazebos and tents etc etc.
We can still do a troop around the place and I have a Nerf gun game set up for this ( this one I am going to trademark the game and will be putting a copyright on the logo so I have a precedent set on this one for me. )
If anyone would like to come along and catch up that would be great, the food and drinks are on me, if you come in costume or help wrangle that is.
I look forward to seeing you there. :)

Times are the same, 11am start through to 2pm.

I know I said rain hail or shine, but I think this weather we've had in the last day or two in Kapiti is crazy. :blink:
I am hoping for a fine day if not at least not as bad as what we have just gone through.

Just a wee reminder to anyone who would like to come to the Waitohu school gala, it is this Sunday from 11am - 2pm, May 24th.
Would be a great way to catch up with anyone from the forums and put a face to the name and avatar.
I'll be at the school from a little after 10am helping to set up the stall with Blaxmyth, we'll be already kitted up.
I'll organise a room at the school for getting ready for anyone else coming along and needing to change.
If anyone needs to contact me you can either PM me on line here or flick me a TXT on my work phone, 021466991.
Look forward to a great day and having some fun. :D

And a great day it was, too! I had the pleasure of meeting Badges and his family, as well as trooping at the gala and also outside Planet Retro on the main road through Otaki.

The Womp Rat shooting game was excellent, with a great deal of interest over the three hours of the gala. Had a go myself. Didn't hit the target, though. Can't think why. Brilliant prizes also, thanks to Toyworld.

Really looking forward to trooping down on the Kapiti Coast again! Thanks heaps for the day, Badges!

Hey Blaxmyth,
Thank you to both you and your lovely wife for helping out today, it was a great success with the game and the prizes.
Thanks also for the photos, they look quite good.
On one of the games set out at the gala they had a game where you picked out a piece of paper and had to act out or do an accent of the person, character or country you picked, funnily enough I got Darth Vader, needless to say I won a lollypop for that one. :D
