October was a meeting
under a hunter’s moon. We had 27 members and 1 guest who brought in 10 models most
of which were pledges.
October
Meeting
2013 Model Pledge: Not a bad showing. About
a half dozen members brought in their completed model pledges and told us about
the builds. I think some of the more notable works were Charlie’s paper model
ship, HMS Badsworth, Phil’s ’34 Duezie, Russ’ use of magnets with his Cutlass
and Kamila’s Statue of Liberty that lit up!
NOMINATIONS: Ray and Gordon have only had their posts for a year. They were
elected to another year, per BPMS tradition.
HOLIDAY DINNER: After
the way I dropped the ball in September several members stepped up with various
options where we could go. Thanks to you all for your effort. We had to quickly boil it
down to two choices and went with:

models and supplies would be most useful. As always, donations of any models
and supplies are welcome.
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? Hello? Anyone?
Contact Bobby or Jeff at the meeting.
COntest night – 4th
qtr 2013: This is the final installment of the quarterly BPMS Annual
Contest so it is your last chance to try to rack up some votes for 2013. Pledge
models are welcome as well as anything you haven’t already entered into a
contest previously.
super raffle: This is the reason why you must fill out your paperwork at
each meeting. For every new model you brought in over the course of the year
you get ONE SUPER RAFFLE TICKET. If you completed your pledge model you get an
additional FIVE super raffle tickets. You cannot buy tickets for this raffle.
You must earn them! The more you built, the more tixx you get. We’ve been
buying items for the Super Raffle all year, but if you would like to donate
anything, feel free to do so! Who built the most in 2013? I’ll announce the
name at the meeting.
