The UKCM went for a jaunt abroad and took at little bit of British sophistication to the Southern USA.
No, not really. It was a 5 day long costumed party! A great time was had by all and it looks like we will be making it an annual pilgrimage!
Full report and pics to follow!
The UKCM attended London MCM Expo at the ExCel Centre.
To mark the UK nationwide release of Aliens versus Predator: Requiem, members of the United Kingdom Colonial Marines were in costume at the Odeon cinema in Taunton on Friday 18th.

I was please to meet Ralph Brown (Aaron in Alien 3) here again as well as Billy West (voice actor on Futurama). Billy was great and actually recorded some sound Bytes [...]

There was a good turnout for this event with some 15 members attending. This [...]
