March was another great BPMS meeting. We had 26 members and no guests who brought in 25 models for an impressive March Meeting!

March Meeting
DECAL SWAP NIGHT: There were many decals swapped during the course of the meeting, but mostly for money. Cash is King!

FAVORITE MODEL: We had about a dozen models and attached stories about the favorite models of members.

TROOP SUPPORT: With Hugh going into retirement Jimmy Tissot volunteered to take over the role as Wounded Warrior Project liaison. Don Illjes also found out about a Wounded Warrior outpost at Fort Hamilton. More details to come.

RAFFLE: We had a monthly raffle with an assortment of seven items. Something for anyone’s tastes.

REPLICON 26: We sponsored a trophy package. By the time you read this the show will have passed, but we’ll discuss it during the April meeting.

PHOTO ROSTER: Hugh can provide the files and write up the process I use in PowerPoint and PhotoManager to put the pages together. Can anyone take this job over? Contact Bobby or Jeff at the meeting.

On the agenda: APRIL
WORK IN PROGRESS NIGHT: What’s on your workbench? Your pledge? Something for a theme contest? Why don’t you bring it in and show the group what you are up to. Be prepared to tell the group a couple words on your build.

PLEDGE: This month is the last month to make a declaration. See details below.

BILL MURPHY: Bill mentioned to a couple members that the April meeting will be his last before heading west. It’s always sad to see a longtime member say goodbye. Bon Voyage, Sir!

You can see pics from each meeting either at the Club Website or on the Photo-Blog: http://gmobile17.blogspot.com/

2013 MODEL PLEDGE: Looks like we got this working right now! Bring in an unbuilt model between January and APRIL 2013 (extended) to declare as your pledge model. Please have it finished for OCTOBER 2013, for a display. After October you may bring back your pledge for the November meeting for the last contest of the year. For your efforts you get an additional FIVE Super Raffle tickets for completing your pledge! Sweet! Easy enough!

Our next meeting will be on
April 19, 2013
Same Time
Same Place

See you at the BBSC!
