Annual Meeting

While we are primarily a correspondence chapter, we have decided to have an official face-to-face meet-up each year. Set around another event, it will give the crew members an opportunity to come together for a chat, share stories, down a few blood wines and barbeque a Cardassian vole or two perhaps.

Taking cost of hotels and transport into account as well as accessibility etc, we have decided to build it around the FOLLOW THE YELLOW GATE ROAD event in September. Yes, we know it's a Stargate event, the format is perfect for our needs. With numbers limited to just 250 attendees, and many of the crew already booked to go, as Spock would say, "the choice is logical".

April Virtual Meeting

Great meeting last night. Thank you to all those who came. Amongst the general chitchat, we discussed burials in space: the pros, the cons and the alternatives, how craft travelling at warp speed avoid damage, transporter issues, the rise of the Warp 1 convention and its affects upon Destination Star Trek, storylines that we liked the most and the least, alternatives to those storylines (Xindis being influenced by Romulans rather than the Sphere Buiders, for example), and so much more.

The Galileo, Issue 1

At the beginning of March, we relauched our chapter newsletter. Under the new name of THE GALILEO, it was distributed to our full members first. Now, though, you can grab your copy here!

March Quiz Night

A big thank you to all those who came to the March quiz night. We had joint winners of Andrew B. and Kevin M. Well done, guys!

For the next quiz night, I thought we'd follow a similar format BUT how about

... 2 points if you can get the answer without a hint

... 1 point if you ask for a hint and get the answer right. For the hint, I will give you a choice of three or four answers to choose from! 😃

Next Quiz Night will be 10th April 2025 at 8pm. 🖖😊

Chapter Awards 2024

It is with great pride that we are able to announce the winners of our 2024 chapter awards. These are made to crew members who best embody the ideals, visions, and philosophy of Star Trek and takes an active role in the chapter, demonstrating commitment to the ship and its crew.

The Spock Award is awarded to a member of the crew who gives selflessly to others. This could be for providing morale support to the crew or by undertaking some other charitable works. Spock's dying words embody the ethos of the award: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Our winners are:

• FLAG OFFICER OF THE YEAR: CAPT Craig Cameron-Rae

• OFFICER OF THE YEAR: CMDR Julian Fitzgerald

• ENLISTED MEMBER OF THE YEAR: SCPO Kurt Fuchs

• THE SPOCK AWARD: CAPT Mike Oliver

Each of our winners got a super certificate PLUS a unique embroidered patch!

Quiz Night!

The USS STARGAZER held a quiz night last night and it was really good. With around forty questions, a large number of the crew took part and, ignoring the fact that we had to send three to the brig, fun was had by all. The Second Office, it turns out is a bit of an Oracle when it comes to Trek, but everyone had fun.
