My First Troop!

Last Saturday (2nd April), I was out in the field teaching students geology. The air was cool and crisp, the wind coming off the Mountain. Suddenly my mobile went off, it was a call from Nick B, asking if I wanted to help with a troop that night. I said I would love to, but I had not finished my armour let. I would be borrowing his.

Doning armour was great. I did feel like a noob, though. Putting things on in the wrong order or up-side-down. I got sorted in the end.

The troop was for the Magpies football team which were playing at the KGV in front of a crowd of over 8400 people. One the whole the troop was good, but there were some people that prefered to knock us about.

Today we made it into the paper. :)
