Wings and Tracks 2016

Below is the Wings and Tracks Flyer for 2016. It has all the details and bits you need to know on it.

The big news is our new Venue at Ashburton Support Centre 296 High St Ashburton. This is right across the road from the Swap and Sell venue at the Scout Hall and about 500m up the road from the Library. This hall is larger than the Library and has good facilities while still being close to all the shops etc in Ashburton. There is plenty of parking at the rear of the building and if this is full less than 100m down the road is the Ashburton Pool which has more than ample extra spaces.

I look forward to seeing you there on 20th March.

2015 draws to an end.

To all members, and anyone else who reads this blog, have a safe and joyous holiday season, and we hope to see you back next year.

2015 was a great year for our club. We participated in many events and had some very good times. Especially memorable were the build days and band camp this year. Something we intend to continue next year.
To top this off we had a fantastic night at the EOY dinner and got to take a close look at some of the great models our members have turned out this year. Not only that but we were well fed, and had some fun winning prizes.
Especial congratulations go to:
Mick Rennie for clubman of the year.
Brian Thewlis for modeller of the year.
Larry d'Argaville for Model of the year.

Once again I would like to thank the members fior their support this year, and especially like to thank the committee members Laurence, Rene, Brian, Alex, Larry and Mick for all of there had work.
I would like to extend our best wishes for the holidays and the coming new year to all.
Below I have a selection of models from end of year. I hope you take the time to look at them and enjoy. Thanks to Rene for the pictures.

Merry Christmas and happy new year to all

Regards
Mic Bradshaw - President IPMS Australia

Tuesday 17/11/15 - Meeting night

Hi All,
This week is a big one, Trivia Night. So along with all the regular meeting ventures we have our annual Trivia Night. The stakes are high, and many a sheep station will be won or lost on the evening. We also have a small bundle of new toys for the winners.

As this is our final meeting for the year, I would like to thank all for their support for the club and the current committee this year.

In saying that we have one last event after this which is of course our End Of Year competition and Dinner. Please if you wish to come along for the dinner we need to let Rene know ASAP as we need to plan catering etc for the evening.

I have some pictures here from the last meeting and the Display at Bayonet's competition on the weekend past, but are having some difficulty posting them. I will put them up in the next day or so.... I look forward to catching up with you in the near future.
