Well we survived 2013. The year that wasn’t suppose to happen thanks to the Myan apocalypse . We had a lot of fun this year. The first ever (and record breaking) Salt Lake Comic Con. The Star Trek Into Darkness movie promotion. Moving meeting locations to Clearfield. What was some of your club highlights from 2013?
And we are continuing our tradition of a USS Ticonderoga New Years Eve party. As you can see the first three guests are on their way and they are excited about joining us for the fun. Lt. Frank Buck will be hosting the event at his home in Layton (email us if you don’t have the address). The club will be providing meat for the BBQ. Please bring side dishes, deserts or drinks. Also feel free to bring fireworks and any games or videos that you would like to share. The party will start at 7:00pm. Feel free to bring friends and family. This will be a non-alcoholic event.
ADDITIONAL: We will also be doing the Bajoran Renewal Scrolls at the party. For details on this see the Deep Space Nine episode Fascination.
It’s here, it’s here. The USS Ticonderoga Halloween Party is tonight at the Captain’s home in Clearfield. Bring your kids in costume to go trick-or-treating. Bring a bag of candy to share with the kids when they come by. Bring your pot-luck item to share with your fellow shipmates. We will start at 8:00pm for dinner. Who knows what scary movies we may watch. We will also have the fire-pit out front to roast marshmallows for fun.
It has become an annual tradition to visit a cornmaze for an activity in October. We will be going to the Black Island Farms for this event on Friday, October 25th. The address is 3178 South 3000 West in Syracuse. We will be meeting at 8:00pm. It would be recommended that you eat before coming out.
Apparently the Doctor is a fan of Star Trek. Well the members of the USS Ticonderoga love other science fiction show as well. In fact at the last meeting there was a discussion about the upcoming 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who special that is coming up on November 23rd. We have two Doctor Who events for November that we can do as a group. The first is attending a parody play called Doctor U (as in Utah) at the Off Broadway Theater on Saturday November 16th. The second is getting together as a group and watching the 50th Anniversary special. Is someone willing to host the anniversary viewing and has BBC America? If so, please let the Captain or Executive Officer know.
We have several USS Ticonderoga activities in the month of October. The Halloween party at the end of the month. The Ogden Zombie crawl is coming up. Several crewmembers are going to see the Rifftrax live showing of Night of the Living Dead at the Tinsletown Theater in Layton. And a popular event is the annual cornfield maze romp. We’ve been going to the Black Island Farms in Syracuse for several years now and plan to return on Friday, October 25th. Quark found us some discount passes online and passed the information onto us (for a small fee). Both of these deals were found on KSL’s website and are available until they are sold out.
For the month of June we have decided to combine both our activity and meeting into one grand event. Wednesday, June 12th we will be holding an Introduction to the USS Ticonderoga BBQ. This will start at 7:00pm at the Kiwanis Park in Clearfield. The address is 300 N. Vine Street. Bring your own meat to grill and a dish to share.
So we are finally glad that warmer weather is here. It has been way too cold for the past several months. So we want to celebrate the warm weekend coming up by holding a Welcome Spring BBQ on Saturday, April 27th. It will be held at the home of Captain Stark in Clearfield and run from 2:00pm to 6:00pm. Bring your own meat and a dish to share. We will be playing various games and videos during this event.
This Saturday, March 9th, is the anniversary date of the USS Ticonderoga as a club. We originally started as the chapter-in-training USS Euphrates on this date in 1996. Since we all join fan clubs to have fun, we decided to celebrate by watching various Star Trek parodies and blooper reels. We want to laugh with our friends and Star Trek. At 6:00pm we will meet at the home of Captain Erica Stark and continue to watch funny videos until we get tired. Bring your own drinks and some snacks to share.
