It's Wednesday, so this comms channel had better be secured or we'll send that joyful droid Bucket round with a hydrospanner in case you leak any details of our whereabouts this weekend.
You may want to grab a blue milk, this could take a while.
First up, we're touching down on Saturday at the Glasgow Science Centre for their #Moon50 Festival. Celebrating Eagle's landing in Mare Tranquillitatis half a century ago, there are activities inside and out. We're scheduled to be on duty from 1000-1700 so please, no splashdowns in the adjacent Pacific Quay.We're also about for their Moon50 Landing Party that evening from 1830 until 2130 when we'll be transported back to 1969 so if you're going, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
No real need to enter hyperspace to get to the next event on Saturday, as we're heading on down to Heroes And Legends Events - Wales at Margam Castle in Margam Country Park near Port Talbot. This event opens at 1000 and closes at 1700.
A quick sub-orbital flight eastwards takes us to Space Day at Cressing Temple in Braintree where there are a number of attractions including Essex Library Services' LAAAAAAAAAUNNNNNNNNCH! of their #SpaceChase challenge. Blast off here is Saturday at 1000 and the mission will complete at 1500. Not sure if this is a Jedi temple, but you never know.
Another quick hop across the stratosphere on Saturday sees our transport touch down at 4 Kingdoms Adventure Park near Thatcham for part of their Royal British Legion weekend. We'll be about there from opening time at 1000 on through closing time at 1800. Plenty going on too, including an historic Lancaster flypast.
Just the one event on Sunday is Unleashed Events' Newcastle Unleashed event. Being held at Newcastle United's St James' Park. We're due there from 1000 until 1600.
If you are confronted by any oppressing forces from The UK Garrison you can distract them by claiming your planet's moon looks like the Death Star. This will confuse them because as far as we know, their Death Stars are both still in a large number of pieces. Not that we had any involvement in that. ... See MoreSee Less

20 years ago today, we were all reeling, after The Phantom Menace finally reached UK shores. It has become a fairly divisive film, but we can’t deny that it reinvigorated the franchise and introduced a younger generation to a far, far away galaxy.
So, with the benefit of rose tinted macrobinoculars, we’d like you to share your memories of that summer of 1999. ... See MoreSee Less

Where can we be found this weekend? Listen very carefully, we will say this only once.
On Saturday is the Hazel Grove Carnival centred around Tarkin Ton Park, no, wait, Torkington Park in Hazel Grove, Stockport. Lucky, nearly moffed that address right up. We're due to be there from 1030-1600 and there is a parade scheduled for 1200.
Sunday sees the St Albans Comic-Con at The Alban Arena in the St Albans Civic Centre, Hertfordshire. We're scheduled to be there a little before opening, at 0945. The event there runs on until 1630.
Watch out in case The UK Garrison cross paths with you. Don't tell them about any secret plans, locations of droids or where out hidden biscuit supplies are. ... See MoreSee Less
