The December Meeting will be held at the Westmount Library on Wonderland Road South at 7pm, Wed. Dec.  14.

Please bring your 2011 Builds to the Meeting as a trophy will be awarded by lot to one of the kits. Ty, Dave – for the special trophy.

Please remember to bring your $30 for 2012 dues.

The rest of the evening will be social as befits the Season.

It was decided that dues for next year will be set at $30.00.  Everyone was warned that if they did not have their dues paid by January, they would be dinged an extra $5.00 per month. This barbaric scheme was concocted by yours truly to cut down on my paperwork  lol  .

It was decided by the group that our year-build will continue next year. Everyone must bring 3-5 unbuilt kits which we will all drool over, and the owners must complete one during 2012.

We are looking for ideas for demos next year – we had some good ideas and only need 2-3 more.

A visitor, Brandon, stopped by to check us out – hope you come  back next year.

Doug is again organizing a display for Nov. 11 at the Victory Branch Legion – good work, Doug.

I will be doing another of my Museum power-points, this time on Museums of the East Coast.

Duncan did another wonderful slide show – on US Navy A/C for the Centennial of US Naval Aviation. Fantastic vintage slides from his collection that I never tire of seeing.

The October Meeting will be held Wed. Oct. 12 at 7:00 pm at the Westmount Library on Wonderland Road South, London. All interested people are welcome – no obligation to join, but meet some very interesting folks, and see some great kits.

Duncan will be doing another of his series of aircraft slides, which I am looking forward to.

Lot’s of people out again. Tom – the Show Committee Chair, had a brief report on the 2012 Show with a tentative date of Sat., Sept. 29, 2012.

More to come later. The Show website will be back when the date and place are confirmed. Lot’s of time to get started as they have a very early start on things.

I showed Part 2 of my Museums of France Show. I only saw a few people fall asleep   lol.

See y’all next month.

Don

The next Meeting will be at 7pm on Wednesday, Sept. 14 at the Westmount Library on Wonderland Road South. All folks are welcome, as usual, and first timers are free – come on out and see what we are all about. There is also a monthly Show-and-Tell table for members to let us know about their latest projects.

This month I will be continuing my “Museums of France” slide show with museums in Paris, Dieppe and Vimy.

Don

Tom has held a meeting of the new Show executive. The tentative date will be the last part of September, 2012. The themes will be “Think Small” in all categories for the special awards. Not as in small scale, but light tanks as opposed to heavy tanks, ships such as destroyers as opposed to battleships, etc. More details to come.

Lots of neat stuff on the show-and-tell table and Tom made an interesting talk on water effects.

Shaughn and Steve will be working on moving content from this site to the new one.

Don

The next meeting will be at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, August 10 at the Westmount Library, Wonderland Road South.

Tom will update us on the 2012 Show Committee and will also give a presentation on “Water Effects”.

See y’all there

In case you missed it, there was a great article in yesterday’s Londoner, from the writer/photographer team at our last Meeting. I will have a copy at the August Meeting.
