Strange days. After our very successful October meeting, we had 24 members and one guest who brought in 17 models, the Tristate area was devastated by Hurricane Sandy then Winter Storm Athena. With massive destruction, flooding, and fuel shortages the only reasonable course of action we could take was to cancel the November meeting.
October Meeting
NOMINATIONS: The current regime has put in its two years up front. So this time around we nominated Ray Whitton for President and Gordon Cheung for Veep. They will ascend to their thrones up front starting in JANUARY.
MODEL PLEDGE: We had over a dozen model pledges shown, which isn’t too shabby considering that they filled the tables and made a good showing of it. Thank you to the members who participated, you’ll see FIVE extra November Super Raffle tickets for your efforts!
JANUARY SUPER RAFFLE: January won’t only bring the END OF THE WORLD THEME CONTEST, but we’re also going to have a “January Super Raffle!” Not to be confused with the Super raffle that we conduct every year in November, the January Super raffle will cost $5 / ticket. Each will be a shot at winning one of the following models:
- Trumpeter 1/32 Mig-21 UM two seater with extra Verlinden detail set. Joe B
- Trumpeter 1/350 JMDF DDG-173 Kongo Jeff E
- Dragon 1/35 Jagdpanzer IV/70 (A) with added metal gun barrel and resin zimmert detail set Ray K
- Polar Lights 1/350 NX-01 Enterprise Ray K.
Thanks for the donations: Joe Bergman, Ray Keegan, and Jeff Eng.
Coming January! Coming January! Coming January! Coming January!
On the agenda: DECEMBER
HOLIDAY LUNCHEON: Everything went well and that everyone had a good time at the Tasty Tavern. Good food and good friends! Hopefully this will give birth to a new BPMS tradition!
SUPER RAFFLE: The prolific members are rewarded for their hard work! For each model you brought in you are entitled to ONE Super Raffle ticket. If you completed your pledge, you get an additional FIVE tickets! Your humble narrator will have the tickets at the meeting for you! DONATIONS FOR THIS SUPER RAFFLE ARE APPRECIATED AND ENCOURAGED!
CONTEST NIGHT 4Q12: This is the FINAL BPMS Quarterly Contest for 2012. This is your last chance to rake in some votes so make the best of it!
HOLIDAY DESSERTS: The calendar will say December even though we’ll have November Activities. We invite members to bring in desserts and other treats for the group, like we’ve been doing for years now. Drinks and coffee will be available from the BBSC and BPMS.
