Bulletin: May 2008

THE MINUTES

by Bobby P.

April was another great meeting with a turnout of 23 members, 2 guests bringing in 14+ models and WIPs for display.

APRIL MEETING!!!

SWAP MEET: Stuff was bought and sold, as it should be at a swap meet. Many members participated.

WORK IN PROGRESS NIGHT / FAVORITE MODEL: We had an entire table dedicated for this activity. My notes said that there were 7 WIPs on the table, but there had to be more than that. Each person spoke a few words about his WIP or his fav model. A lot of fun.

On the agenda: May
PARTS BOX NIGHT: Just how it sounds, Parts Box, bring in those spare parts that you don’t think you’ll need to share with the guys at the club. Guys part with some interesting pieces during this activity.

PHIFTY YEARS OF PHABULOUS PHANTOMS: We’re observing the fiftieth birthday of one of the most versatile and formidable jets ever built: The F-4 Phantom. Chances are you have a Phantom somewhere in your collection. Please dig out your Phantoms to bring in for this theme night!

CONTEST NIGHT 2Q08: This will be the second installment of the BPMS Annual contest. You know, the quarterly one that you put your work on the table and the members place their votes for their favorites. Those ballots will be combined with the votes of the other quarterly contests for the end of the year.

REGARDING PHOTO ROSTER STATUS: Hugh sent me a series of emails with the finished product. Let’s see if I can get it into the upcoming bulletins. Since it’s over six pages, I will, likely, be including one page per month, so you will have to save at least one page from the bulletin each month if you want to have the complete roster.

Our next meeting will be on May 16, 2008.
