August meeting allowed us the entire facility again. We had 24 members and 1 guest in attendance who brought in 21 models and their appetites.

August Meeting

THIRD QUARTER CONTEST: The third quarterly installment of the annual contest is done. We had a good showing of quality work throughout all the categories. Nice work, guys! The next and last chance to score some votes for 2009 will be in November.

BARBECUE NIGHT: It seems to be bad luck. We get rained on for all our BBQ nights, yet it doesn’t slow down the feeding frenzy at all. The group went through a pile of burgers, sausages and hot dogs like no one’s business. Special thanks go out to the cooking team, anyone who helped out, and anyone who brought in extra goodies to munch. We’ve seen bad weather for the August meetings since we started this activity, so the officers of think it would be a better idea to swap the dates of pizza night and BBQ night. June is generally cooler so it will be less brutal for grilling and pizza night can go back to its traditional night in August.

On the agenda: September

STRING THEME NIGHT: This is a theme WITH strings attached! It’s not a contest, but a theme display night. So interpret the theme anyway you like, but try to TIE it in with the STRINGS theme! (Sorry about that, I couldn’t help myself!) Use your imagination. Have fun with it!

SWAP NIGHT: Just what it sounds like. Bring in goodies to sell or trade. Also it would be a good idea to bring in some money in case the “grail” kit shows up at the right price!

TAKE A PART / LEAVE A PART: Gordon will bring in a big basin monthly for “Take a Part / Leave a Part.” Please feel free to toss your spares into the big bin too! Gordon will bring the club parts box back for each meeting for members to add or take away from. This is something we can all benefit from!

Meeting date: Sept 18, 2009

Same time, same place!
