May Meeting

The May meeting is upon us this Tuesday.
Look forward to seeing you all there at Ashburton Library.
Bring your in progress works and for something different bring along your toolkit.
Just a set of clippers, knife, sanding stick and some glue will do. This is to build our mystery display for expo this year. It should be a blast and nothing too difficult. If you have a small cutting mat you can chuck that in to.
Also up for grabs if you help out is a special anniversary gift celebrating the clubs 50th year.
Look forward to seeing you there.
I have posted a few of the pictures of the fine models at W&T 2014 this year.
