About the USS Top Gun - NCC 75029

The USS Top Gun is a Starfleet International chapter based in Bowie, MD. We have members in several Mid-Atlantic states and a few others . We are always looking for new people to join our crew, and we invite you to contact us if you would be interested in spending some of your time with us.

Who's attending the Holiday Party?

We really don't know yet.

We have about ten people confirmed to go to the party, which is decent, but we would really like to see a bit more then that. Because of our few numbers, we have had to change our plans for the Holiday Party to be a Luncheon instead of a buffet. This does not mean we will not have an enjoyable time, but that some members will not be joining us there.

If you are working during Saturday afternoon, please join us for a games night on Friday evening or spend some time with us Saturday morning or evening. We have tried to allow people working to join us by staggering activities around the Luncheon. Some things are really inexpensive, like sitting around and playing board and card games of strategy and sharing some snacks and sodas at the hotel, or piling in a car for a driving light show. Others are fixed in their price, like the Academy Tour for $8 or going to see a matinée showing of "I am Legend".

If you have a friend on the Top Gun you don't know what you would give them for a present (if you want to) then offer to pay for them to go see a movie... or treat them to the Luncheon... or pay for their ticket to go on the Academy tour. This weekend is also a good way to be able to meet and get to know other people in the chapter.

We also have different ways of celebrating this time of the year. Let's get the chance to learn more about each other, and enjoy the things that make us different, and the same. IDIC.

It would really be great to see many crewmates during the weekend!
