UKCM

This was probably the must attend event of the year. A lot of preparation and planning went into this show. Attended by virtually all the members of the UKCM along with the UK Garrison.

We had the privilege of the presence of Ian Whyte, who played the Predator in AVP 1 & 2, Terry English, armourer for Aliens and the elusive Trevor Steedman who played Pvt Wierzbowski in Aliens. This man has a website dedicated to hunting him down by the way! And lastly we were joined by Spat from America (this is the guy who makes alot of the armour our members wear).

The weekend went exceptionally well. There were staged bug hunts for the public to participate in. This was Abe the Aliens chance to get even MORE pictures of himself taken. Trevor Steedman was a great sport and took part in the final hunt of the weekend in full Colonial Marine armour.

The Alien Encounter experience was there again, giving punters a scare as they are taken through a Weyland Yutani Research facility, when unexpectedly (or not) the Aliens escape!!

Spat held lifecasting talks. Our illustrious leader Mantroon was a volunteer for a face cast. The face was later put into a charity auction held on the Saturday night and bid on by members of the UKCM and UKG, all of whom only wanted to get it so they could destroy this unspeakably evil image.

A big thankyou goes to Malika Andress the event organiser for inviting us and making the venue available for such a great show.

A selection of video from the show can be found here. It is all in flash though and may take a while for the page to fully load.
