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.

April Quiz Night

Now becoming a regular feature on the second Thursday of each month, we had nother excellent Quiz Night in April.

Our winners were:

1st: Aaron with 14 points
2nd: Hightower with 13 points
3rd: Erika with 11 points

Well done, everyone!

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.

New Monthly Virtual Meetings

Yesterday evening was the first of our new Monthly Virtual Meetings for the crew. Designed along the same lines as a face-to-face meeting, we used Zoom. Members could arrive at any time they wished during the meeting, and leave at any time, too. Scheduled for the FOURTH THURSDAY of each month, it is a very relaxed way to get together and chat about, well, anything really.

I am so looking forward to next month's meeting!

Quiz Night

We shall also be having a Trek themed quiz night for our members in the first week of February. If you would like to join us, please do contact us. Thank you.

New Games Begin!
