England lost!!

All of Saturday & Sunday of the 26th, 27th Time Was... was at TrekFest II at the National Space Centre in Leicester. Although we made some money it was a relatively quiet affair, despite the best intentions of the crew of the Enterprise D, various Klingons and an Andorian. Even the Batlaath Training was a quiet affair, not very loud these Klingons!

Two things went against the event, first was the weather. The Space Centre, if you haven't been, is a bad weather venue. It's expensive to get in, but well worth it once you're inside. But you need to spend many hours to see all the exhibits, ideal when it's raining, not when it's a glorious day like we had on Saturday. So needless to say it wasn't heaving with Federation operatives.

Then of course there was Sunday. Another gloriously hot day, but also the England - Germany match in the afternoon. England couldn't even get it right to avoid Germany in the quarter finals, but why watch when you know we can't beat Germany, so needless to say the Space Centre was almost empty the entire day. Ideal if you don't like football and want to spend a lazy time wandering around the exhibits and not having to push your way past screaming kids.

Thanks to a couple of Klingons though we did sell some things on the Sunday and we even won on the raffle, though possibly we were the only ticket holders.

A shame really when TrekFest II was all for charity and the location donated by the Space Centre.

Still there is always TrekFest III.

All together now... 'there's Klingons on the Starboard bow, Starboard bow...'

Ok perhaps you don't remember the Firm!
