No my kids have not graduated.

No I haven't passed a series of difficult exams.

No my missus has not got through to the next round of MasterChef.

It cool that they dont just let anybody in only accept dedicated people who go the full hog putting fully acurate suits togetherand show the commitment needed.

You mention trooping Burnsy what type of things do the 501st get up to once your a member?

Cheers Jay

Stu, congratulations mate, you certainly deserve it with a lot of hard work and dedication put in!

Do you know when you're first troop will be?

Make sure you get some piccies!

Good work!

Thanks chaps.

In terms of trooping they do a hell of a lot.

They attend fun days, charity fun runs, hospital visits, various Movie Con's and of course the big Mem's, Comic Cons etc.

I think I may be going to a charity event in Stevenage in late September for my ice breaker.

Then gonna try and do Collectormania and Mem in November.

Congrats Stu!

It's so much better than this costume

Congrats!!!
