Hey all, so I thought I would share a little real life story from me this week. I work in communications for my local county council and they foolishly asked me to manage the delivery of this year's county show tent, where we rock up for two days as a council and engage with local people about all sorts of things the council is involved in. This year we decided to make the theme "The Future" and sold it to the bosses as an opportunity to discuss the future plans we have for the county... whilst at the same time knowing we were going to go full time machine inspired sci-fi. So of course we picked a DeLorean from Back to the Future as a centre piece and a whole lot of Dr Who to get people in our tent for photos and such - needless to say we were swamped with people over the course of the two days... just an awesome time where work and hobbies combine.
The people loved it, the staff loved it, the politicians... well I think they warmed to it eventually 
Not Star Trek I know, but thought I would share some snaps from the day anyways:
The DeLorean on the set up day (just as well, I couldn't get near it when the gates opened)
The whole thing was really authentic, all the lights and switches taken directly from the movie prop so I was told.
A view from the back.
Iconic
Dalek and Scarecrow, a fearsome duo that most kids loved!
A Tom Baker era TARDIS reconstruct, along with my fave Davros and Weeping Angel. The Empty child gives me nightmares
K9 - fully remote controlled which the kids loved
My team and the rest of our marquee support team loving the fact it was the end of a very long day.
Me and my mate Dave... never thought I would be guarding a Dalek, but he got mobbed by kids lol

Very cool selection and very lucky being paid to go just geek out around all of that.
Truth creates knowledge. Knowledge fosters understanding and in understanding there is peace
