Trekkie Girls ep – Leonard Nimoy, Remember
The Trekkie Girls Carole and Sam are joined by their Trekkie In Training Sarah to discuss what Leonard Nimoy and Spock meant to them.
First Contact Day – Get your tickets quick!
First Contact Day is all about knocking back tequila celebrating the dawn of the Federation, an era of peace and hope for Humanity. What better way to celebrate it than in the company of our fellow Trekkies.
This year be sure to check out the return of the third First Contact Day being held 4th - 5th April in Leicester's National Space Centre with guests including Garrett Wang (Voyager's Harry Kim), Claudia Christian (Babylon 5) Trek Authors Una McCormack and James Swallow, Alan Flyng (Star Wars) and a Skype chat with our all time favourite Trek expert Larry Nemecek.
This is a fan organised event which supports Help For Heroes.
We were honoured to have been asked to attend FCD and host some Trek talks but sadly due to work commitments we aren't able to make this year.

Rest In Peace Leonard Nimoy.
I'm sure in the next few days more words will come. But for now we are finding great comfort watching the love and support for this great man pour through our social media streams. The fact that the outpouring extends well beyond the Trek family shows what a true legend he was. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and everyone's lives he touched.
For now we "Remember".

Interview – Robert Duncan McNeill and Manu Intiraymi

The Trekkie Girls alongside the Visionary Trek podcast, interview Robert Duncan McNeill and Manu Intiraymi at the 21st SF Ball - The Grand Harbour Hotel Southampton. 7th February 2014. As usual they drift off topic!
SF Ball 21
On Saturday we packed up ready for the SF Ball in it's new home at the Grand Harbour Hotel, Southampton. Carole had to work so I took Sarah, our Trekkie In Training, along.
Because of new baby, we couldn't stay along as we wanted (like, all weekend!) so this review isn't as thorough as we'd like however we wanted to make an effort and see what we could of the Ball after hearing so much praise.
We have been to all sorts of conventions, some are massive signing events, some are like a small gathering of friends, others are like drunken nights at Quarks. From what we saw of the SF Ball, it is a mixture of everything.
The venue worked very well. If we're completely honest, the previous venue had put us off on previous years. We love hotel events, they foster a sense of community. It's like being on a school trip with … Continue Reading ››
Trekkie Girls The Next Generation Ep 1

The Trekkie Girls are back for 2015 with their Trekkie In Training (TiT) Sarah. In this episode they discuss how Sarah got on watching S1 of The Next Generation
The Original TiT’s TNG Season 1 review
(A couple of) people suggested I “blog” about my TNG Season 1 experience. So, here are the musings of a mere novice TiT on what was undeniably a rollercoaster ride of an introduction to Star Trek…
The first thing that struck me was how dated it seemed, I just didn’t realise it was made in 1987, almost 30 years ago! It’s nearly as old as me 😉 So right from the start I knew I had to make allowances for things such as the fashion, style and SFX (and something I had to continuously remind myself of throughout!). I actually really liked the totally 80s soundtrack – I could tell instantly what sort of episode was going to follow – it’s a shame the music guy later got the sack (or so I’m told?).
Kicking off a new show with an episode like Encounter at Farpoint was somewhat of a … Continue Reading ››

This year we are very excited to make our first trip to the famous SF Ball 6th - 8th Feb. We have heard so many exciting things about this event, from the cabaret, to the interaction with guests, not to mention those con dances! It's a travesty on our part that we haven't made until now.
Alas, with a little one and work commitments we are only able to attend for the Saturday but we can't wait to soak up that Trek Atmosphere. Plus, hailing from Portsmouth, it's now in our back yard, Southampton. The Shelbyville to our Springfield.
We had the privilege to talk to SFB events organiser B who kindly took the time to talk to us. Her passion and enthusiasm for the event is simply infectious. We could tell immediately that this is an event created with love.

You may recall my trektastic pregnancy announcement with the TNG crew at DSTG last February. Well it's a long overdue introduction but we named our little one Hugh. Although it was very nearly Jean-Luc, right down to a heated discussion in the registars office. Who, by the way, was a Trekkie herself and was very keen on the name.
Born September 15th 2014 by C-Section - how envious I am of Samantha Wildmans transporter delivery or indeed, Borg maturation chambers!
We have been overwhelmed by the kindness of others who have helped give Hugh a proper headstart in fandom. His Starfleet top pictured above was lovingly hand made by a family friend Jane and his Jean-Luc teddy knitted by his Granny.
Huey was born two weeks before DST3, but that didn't stop him attending his first ever Star Trek … Continue Reading ››
