A Quick Update and some News

Hi All,
The Dates and Venues have been decided for EOY dinner and competition. Due to availability of Halls etc this year we will be holding our End Of Year competition and Dinner on the 29th of November.
The venue is the St Faiths Anglican Church 4 to 8 Charles St Glen Iris..

This year we will be offering a new menu, and some extra prizes. As this is our Anniversary year we will be aiming for a party theme.

We have 2 more meetings left for the year, with October being a build night, so bring your kits and tools, and November being the Annual Trivia night. Both should be great evenings So we hope to see you there.

We will also have mateials available for our Expo display project for this year, so bring a bag.....

We would also like to hear from anybody with interest for next years committee.

Here are some pics from the last couple of meetings, as I have been a little slack in getting them up.

Meetng this week 16th September.

This week is a meeting week. Come along, for a good night of model talking and viewing. See you there.

Swap and Sell Details

Model Camp Wrap Up and Tuesday night Meeting notification.

So the annual model camp retreat is over for another year. Once again the members who attended had a great time. Once again the food, service and facilities at YMCA Lady Northcote Youth camp were superb. We all ate, drank and laughed to much over the weekend. Not only that but we got heaps of modelling in as well. 17 members managed the trip this year and I would like to thank them all for making it a great weekend. A booking for next year will be secured in the next week.
Below are some pictures of the the weekend.
This Tuesday (15/07/14) is meeting night at the usual location of the Ashburton Library. Hope to see you there.
I have also added to the links side bar the Model expo Diary Blog we ran this year with it's pictures.
