March Meeting and model shows

The website hasn't  been properly updated for a while now due to the webmaster being otherwise engaged (Poor excuse you may, justifiably, say) so here is a bumper issue.

The club has attended several shows in the past couple of months including  Milton Keynes (Modelkraft), Huddersfield and Hinckley and here are a few photographs taken at these venues.

 March Meeting

A major feature of the March club meeting on Sunday 20th was the judging of Hospice trophy, or at least those models that had been completed, quite a few members preferred to pay the fine (Thereby increasing the money raised for the Acorns Hospice).

The monthly competition was won by Shaun Bowater with his impressive piece of 1/35 scale armour.

Future Events.

On 31st July there will be a model show in the Griffin Pub, Rugby in aid of Help for Heroes, for more details please go to the dedicated website.

The next show the club will be attending will be at the RAF Museum, Cosford on Sunday 10th April.

And last but not least our own show, Midland Expo will be making its long anticipated return on 15th May, Midland Expo website.
