Scale Modelworld 2011, Day Two

The second day of SMW 2011 brought more members to the show and the club display.

"Biggles" Betteridge goes to Telford.

Our club Chairman Pete Betteridge lived up to his recently acquired nick-name of Biggles by briefly appearing on the Biggles SIG stand.

As always at Telford a great deal of time was spent foraging for bargains, searching for that kit for which you have been looking for ages or simply looking at the the traders' displays and discovering an item that you suddenly realise you have wanted all along!





Steve Newton's Merchant Ship





In the competition  two IPMS Birmingham members, Steve Newton and Matt Nicholls won silver medals in their classes, congratulations to them both.








Jim and John with Paul Regan.





John Kesler and Jim Marconi, our visitors from IPMS Syracuse, USA spent a couple of hours in the morning at the RAF Museum, Cosford before  coming to the show. During the course of the day they met some of the UK National committee including Paul Regan (President) and Richard Farrah (Hon. Sec.).

John and Jim will be flying back to the USA tomorrow (Monday) and we wish them bonne voyage and look forward to seeing them again in the future, meanwhile many thanks to Mike and Lynn Gossage for putting them up during their stay.
