February Meeting Minutes

Don — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 15:34:03 +0000

Our 2010 Show Chair, Adam, gave an update report on the Show progress, which is coming along nicely. The tables were ordered and co-ordinted with the venue and vendor/sponsor sales are in progressing nicely as well.

Harald put together an amazing Power-Point on the history of Canadian Forces helicopters and what kits/decals/aftermarket sets are available to model them. A most impressive talk which was well received.

Next month Dave will be giving a talk on scratch-building.

December Meeting Minutes

Don — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:30:43 +0000

We had a quick look at the proposed 2010 Budget, then on to the Model Jeopardy Night, hosted this time by Scott and Kim Taylor. Thank you for the time and effort, guys – it was VERY well done!
The answers were typically very challenging and the fight was close between rivals Table 1 and Table 4 with the ever-popular Table 4 coming out on top at the end.
Thanks to Steve Salter for arranging for the pizza, etc.
A very fun evening for all.
Next month we will discuss the Budget for 2010 and 11, hold our Club Elections, award our 2009 Group Builds, and see a photo tour of “Scott and Don’s Excellent Adventure”.
Remember the new location at the Westmount Library, Ferraro Rooms A and B (or just go to THE BIG ROOM!!

November Meeting Minutes

Steve — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:25:32 +0000

Adam reports that we have booked the Carling Heights Community Centre for Saturday, October 2, 2010. The fees will be a little more this year, but we should be OK in the budget. The next step is booking infrastructure such as tables, PA system, etc. Vendors and sponsors will be contacted.
It was voted that Club Elections will be at the January Meeting. All positions will be for two years, but the President’s office will be staggered from that of Vice=President and Secretary. To do this, in January we will elect a President for 2 years and a VP and Sec. for one year.
The 2009 Year Builds will need to be finished by the January Meeting. A prize of $25.00 will be randomly chosen from the completed models (those already presented need not be brought again).
The 2010 Year Builds should be done for the 2010 Show and shown at the Show to qualify.
A request from the RCR Museum for assistance in a diorama contest was distributed. Adam will contact them to see if something can be done as an adjunct to the 2010 show.
Steve reports that there may be a dues increase for next year, depending on Members numbers and will report further in December.
A reminder that December will be Pizza-Jeopardy Night and there will be 3 $15.00 prizes for the winning team. Lets’s get a big turnout for this night, and remember to bring your $30.00 for dues – anyone paying at the December Meeting will not be subject to any dues increase in 2010.
