We were asked to visit a family Christmas event in Cambridge that was aimed at less well off and disadvantaged families over the Christmas period, as well as help to engage with children with sensory needs. Troopers were patrolling a winter wonderland with Christmas lights, trees, music and smells, but refrained from exploring the gingerbread cookies on offer. A wookie was found, but let off with a warning.

Troopers from the 501st UK Garrison were out in force this weekend at Four Kingdoms Adventure farm.

The 501st UK Garrison were asked to deploy to cover the Midnight Moo held at The Midsummer Palace in Milton Keynes. This was a charity walk to raise funds for the Willen Hospice. We are glad to report there were no rebel incursions detected.
