The Young Travellers is a section within the club that focuses entirely on the efforts of our child members. Very often this group is overlooked in many clubs, but as Dr. Who was, and still is a children's Sci-Fi series that adults have become interested in, we thought we would recognise the efforts of our Younger Members. To qualify here you must be under 16 years of age and you must have made a large contribution to the well being of the club and to a costume or prop construction. All child members are eligible to join, all it takes is a photogragh of you with your costume or prop.
SO COME GET CRACKING AND LETS HAVE THOSE PICTURES FOR OUR GALLERY.
We would love to be able to add your picture here too.
This is Kyle with Kalrack.
Kyle and his dad spent 2 years building Kalrack. He was 9 years old when they started the project.
Kalrack is at present undergoing some modifications to make him even more authentic.
This is Eloise, and she was 8 years old when she joined.
Eloise is dressed as a slave child from The Next Doctor, (Mercy Hartigan, Rise of the Cyber-King, Christmas 1851).
Photo will follow shortly
This is Tammy and she was 9 years old when she joined us.
The Empty Child Ninth episode, series one 2005.
For Tammy, we looked a lot of Dr Who episodes to find a little girl character and found the respirator child in series one, Christopher Eccleston episode, The Empty Child. London, 1941, at the height of the Blitz. Children, living on the bombsites, are being terrorised by an unearthly child. It was quite easy to create as we already had a gas mask from Steve's work, we just had to find 1940's period clothes and make a repirator box that all children carried around with them.
Being one of our youngest members at present in our costume gang she enjoys her time in the public eye, and with this most effective costume, you can see why. Well done, Tammy!

WEEPING ANGELS BLINK Tenth episode of the third series.
Weeping Angels are a group of hunters. Because their physiology is quantum- locked, they only occupy a single position in space when seen by an observer they cannot move. When they are not observed they become a "quantum wave form " that occupies many positions in space so they appear to travel exceedingly quickly.They use this ability to approach and attack unwary prey. While in their locked state they appear as stone statues " you can't kill a stone", often covering their eyes so that they will not see each other and lock themselves forever in stone form. This is what gave them the name "Weeping Angels". Eventually the four Angels, having surrounded the TARDIS, are tricked into looking at each other when the box disappears, leaving them deadlocked in their stone forms.
VASHTNA NERADA SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY Eighth episode of the forth series 2008
Vashta Nerada (literally: the shadows that melt the flesh) are microscopic swarm creatures. They are described as the 'piranhas of the air', and are able to strip their victims to the bone in an instant in high enough densities. In the Library there was an unusually high concerntration of Vashta Nerada which completely over ran the 51st century Library. We can not claim to have the same effect, but Kyle's authentic reproduction causes a stir especially when people are told that the helmet is an actual Russian Cosmonaughts space helmet, found in the Afghan desert by Kyle's dad Steve, while on active Military service. Klye loves to scare people when out, at shows in this suit.
