Invasion Colchester 2024

Invasion Colchester started in 2011 and I did one of the very early ones and was fairly small, I never realised it had become so big in the years since. Even though I did get time to look around I never managed to see half the groups attending, it was only at the end of the day that I truely realised the scale of Invasion Colchester. It’s all done for the good causes of St Helena Hospice, Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity, and Mind (Mid & North East Essex).

The Droidbuilder presence was organised by Colin Arber and along with Colin, Richard Knights and Oliver Steeples attended. We were based in the hub which was indoors with static prop displays from Rebel Legion and UKG and had plenty of passing trade from what seemed like everyone from Colchester and surrounding areas due to the number of people that attended. We were limited to the hub, but given patience and the abilty to go through the crowds wouldn’t stop a droid going further afield.

It was a great event and hopefully can have more Droidbuilders attend in 2025.
