The 501st UK Garrison were deployed to American SpeedFest, Brands Hatch. Fusing American-oriented motoring and motorsport with music, food and entertainment, the event was a huge hit with spectators and families. Several Rebels were detected but were let off with a stern warning.

Clearly from the intercepted images it was a successful day and much fun was had by all despite the lack of death star plans and errant droids.

We had the privilege of being asked to attend DreamNight at Colchester Zoo, where the zoo is opened late at night for children and their families with life limiting conditions to enjoy without the bustle of public open days. It was a fantastic evening with many new friends, and the Jawas got up to their usual antics.
