Protecting the Stormtroopers

Last week was the 8Th London Sci-Fi festival, which we are regular visitors too. Well regular visitors to the Sci-Fi pub quiz which is held on the last day and is a slightly alcoholic but fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

This year I decided to give a little back and volunteered to help out. Most of my duties were things like tidying up and manning the front desk, but there were a couple of stand out tasks.

One was helping out in the projector room, the festival which is mostly movies is held in a cinema in central London, seeing all the bits of equipment and reels of film.

The other top task was to be bodyguard to some Star wars Stormtroopers, who were helping to promote the festival. They may have ruled the empire and fought their way across the galaxy but they needed guarding from the general public so their armour didn't get damaged!
