May 25 2019 Geek Pride Day – time to get your Geek On!
We’re almost half the way through an irresolute year and its my 3rd Blogaversary, so time to say thanks to all my readers and commenters.
Celebrating my third happy year of random flibbertigibbet flitting from subject to subject this year ranging from repairing Broken Britain’s and lots of 54mm toy soldiers, the joy of the Job-lot, through cheap plastics, FEMbruary Land Girls, 15mm Mounties and on to my current project reproducing Scout Wide Games:

Geek Pride Day is another excuse for another Star Wars Day, being the first showing date in 1977 in the USA.

Alan of the Duchy of Tradgardland blog, the Tradgardmastre, my Scouting Wide Games co-conspirator, has sent me a bag more USA Tim Mee Galaxy Laser Team figures over on a International / intergalactic Scouting exchange – thanks Alan!
He also mentioned what Games Workshop does for Scouting with a sponsored Warhammer craft badge: encouraging the next Geek generation to use fingers and thumbs for more than swiping and clicking. I wonder if any historical miniatures companies will follow suit? https://fundraising.scouts.org.uk/warhammer
However you spend you Geek Pride Day, whatever your Geek is, enjoy the day!

Added a mention of your tip off about Scouts Warhammer badge as this seems an appropriate day to do so! Also an excellent 1980s BBC Archive clip on D&D.

GW also has a school- and scout-club system where they send figures, paint, etc to educational institutions and scout troops. So far as I can tell, unfortunately, libraries don’t count.

I looked through the materials for schools and scout groups, very well set out. Worth contacting them to see if libraries count? They did in the UK in the past.
