April was another great meeting. We had 29 members and 0 guests who brought in 31 models, of which 14 were WIPs, to share with the group.

April Meeting

LIGHTING UP MODELS CLINIC: Hosted by Joe Bergman and President Don Illjes, we were in for a treat! These two gents filled us in on the world of Light Emitting Diodes, and some very smart ways to make your models more fun to the beholder, but not breaking the bank in the process. Thanks guys!

WORK IN PROGRESS NIGHT: Members came in with some 14 WIPs. We got to see some nice work in various stages of completion. The members told us a few words about their work. If you listened, there were some pearls of wisdom shared!

TROPHY PACKAGES: We voted to sponsor trophy packages for this year’s Noreastcon and Nationals.

40TH ANNIVERSARY LUNCHEON: Were you there? We had about 28 members and loved ones together at The 56th Fighter Group on Saturday, April 28. Fine food, good friends, and a perfect backdrop meant we had an amazing time. Thanks to all the members who helped out with the set-up, and arrangements. Thanks to those who were able to send us on short trips down memory lane. Of course, thanks to all the members and their better halves who came to share this special occasion. The next thought is, why do we wait ten years to have these?

Again, thank you to everyone involved in the big day!

THAT 70s THEME: It’ll be here sooner than you think! Are you ready for it? Find out all about this theme contest HERE.

On the agenda: APRIL

PARTS BOX: Do you have spare parts sitting around? No idea what to do with them? Bring them in! Let the members have at it. You never know, your junk might be another’s treasure!

CONTEST NIGHT: this will be the second installment of the BPMS annual contest. So just bring in your work that has NOT been to a quarterly contest, fill out the papers for it and compete. That simple! I will compile the votes from the four contests for the awards meeting in DECEMBER.
