Bulletin: July 2006

THE MINUTES

by Bobby P.

June turned out to be a nice meeting despite the evil traffic delays that day. There were 23 members in attendance plus two guests who brought a grand total of 27 models.

JUNE MEETING!!!

GRAY MODEL NIGHT: Since the “Green Model Night” did so well in February, we decided that a couple other simple theme nights might be fun. So June was “GRAY MODEL NIGHT!!!” It was a resounding success! We had a large display of gray models. Thanks guys for the participation.

PARTS BOX NIGHT: Parts were brought in by some, and taken home by others. Another triumph!

PIZZA & BBQ NIGHT: Okay, once again, JULY WILL BE PIZZA NIGHT for the WORN, WEATHERED, AND WORKING THEME, and AUGUST will be BBQ NIGHT for the third installment of the annual contest.

CONTEST NIGHT: There were entries in every category, but some categories were rather sparse. I know some people got to take advantage and rake in a bunch of votes.

On the agenda: July

IT’S FINALLY HERE!!!

Worn, Weathered, & Working Theme: Hugh, Frank C. and Frank T. offered to sponsor a theme contest that commemorates the works of the late Captain Bart Holmes, items that show the rigors and abuses of regular (and not so regular) service. This can easily be applied to all aspects of modeling.

PIZZA NIGHT: Members come out of the woodworks for this most important event on the BPMS Calendar. We had a little shuffle, but be assured there WILL BE PIZZA AT THIS MEETING! With that said, please be sure to check with the treasurer that your dues are paid up, as no one gets to chow down unless their account is current. And we ask, please no guests. That’s the customary statement. If people show up, they will need to chip in.

SUMMER KIT SALE: Bring in kits to sell or to trade. Be sure to bring cash, there’s no tab at this bar!
