July had a great turn out. Pizza night always has people coming out of the woodwork. There were 26 members and two guests in attendance who brought a grand total of 27 models.

JULY MEETING!!!

SUMMER KIT SALE: Some guys brought in some stuff to sell, but the kit sales were eclipsed by the other activities of the night.

PIZZA NIGHT: We delayed pizza night one month this year. It’s been in June for years, since we changed it during Kevin’s run so we can place it on a month when more members would be able to make it, and as an added incentive for showing up for the theme contest.

Worn, Weathered, & Working Theme: Hugh, Frank C. and Frank T. sponsored last month’s theme contest that commemorated the works of the late Captain Bart Holmes, items that showed the rigors and abuses of regular (and not so regular) service. There were some very nice models on the tables, and I wish I were able to get any of my projects done in time for this so I could’ve participated. The winners were:

1st Place Ray K. V8 Interceptor
2nd Place James M. Ford F-100
3rd Place John I. Mk IV Tank

Honorable Mentions

On the agenda: August

CONTEST NIGHT: This will be the third installment of the annual contest. If you brought anything new to the last month’s theme, you’re invited to bring it back for the regular contest this month. If you’re not sure, this is the contest that we fill out ballots and forms for.

BBQ NIGHT: This is a brand new activity added to the roster this year. Vinny brought this to fruition; we will have a bbq during the meeting. Expect there to be hamburgers and hot dogs, salads, and soft drinks. We’re only asking $3 per person to cover expenses.
