A HUGE thank you to everyone who attended and supported our Farthest From Star Wars Collectors Convention this past weekend!
Despite the challenging weather conditions and rising event costs, your incredible contributions—through fundraising, donations, and auctions—helped us raise an outstanding £1,300 for the Salvation Army Fordingbridge Christmas Present Appeal. This is an incredible achievement, and we couldn't have done it without you. THANK YOU!
Your support is making a real difference this Christmas, not just for the families we are helping, but also for the local businesses who benefit greatly from this event.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing team, who worked tirelessly to set up, manage, and break down the event. Your dedication made everything possible.
We’re also deeply grateful to our traders and special guests:
Steve Evans, Brian Hickey, Generation Skywalker, Fantha Tracks, No More Heroes, Impatient Potato, and Matt McCartney—thank you for being part of our community and sharing your passion!
Special thanks to Jez, Stu, Daniel, and Peter for providing an unforgettable evening of entertainment on Saturday!
Big thanks to Kristen Hidalgo and Catherine Keeler for contributing exclusive merchandise to our fundraising auction, and to Hasbro, Oberon Auctions , Paleetoys, and HG Witt & Son / DPrice Butchers for their generous donations.
Thank you to The Crown and The George Fordingbridge for co-hosting our fantastic special events on Friday and Saturday.
And a huge thank you to Natasha, Stuart, and Rachel for the delicious 15th anniversary cakes that everyone enjoyed on Sunday!
Lastly, a big shout-out to Clo Design for the stunning graphics, signage, and packaging.
Please continue to share your photos from the weekend and keep supporting your community. Together, we keep the heart beating!
