Stormtrooper Round The Bridges for Starship

Alistair from Hamilton East

Hi team
Please donate to my link below!

I am doing the Hamilton Round The Bridges walk in full costume to raise money for The Starship Foundation

WHY I'M DOING IT
I am a member of Outpost 42 Garrison which is New Zealand's representative of the worldwide Star Wars Costuming Group, the 501st Legion.

"While we wear the costumes of Stormtroopers, Sith Lords, Bounty Hunters and other villains of the Star wars films, we dedicate much of our time towards assisting charities and community groups earning us the tagline 'Bad Guys doing good'.
I know there is a need and if I can help in my own way, I will gladly take one for the team, in doing so raising some money for all the brave kids and parents who are the real heroes.
This is why on Sunday November 13th 2022, I will be walking the 6km of the "The Lugton's Round the Bridges" event in Hamilton wearing a screen accurate replica Stormtrooper costume.
So…

Please help a plastic spacemen support some kids and their families by donating through my link to The Starship Foundation
We will see you at the start line.

Thanks in advance
Alistair Richardson aka Hamilton Trooper

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.

While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
