BPMS Inhouse Meeting: May 15, 2026

Welcome to MAY! Time flies! We’re already up top our second quarterly contest and the first theme contest is around the corner.

CONTEST NIGHT 2Q26: By the model counts each month everyone has been pretty busy getting models done. So now we have our quarterly contest so that members can accumulate more votes for the annual awards in December. Feel free to bring back models that you haven’t placed in competition previously.

PARTS BOX NIGHT: We all have parts boxes. If you like, please bring yours to share with the group in case there’s something someone else has been looking for… Or you can bring extra parts to toss into the club’s communal parts box. That thing is like a treasure trove!

STRAIGHT UP! Reminder! You have one month to prepare for the Vertical Take Off Theme Contest.

Meeting Date: MAY 15, 2026
Members start showing up by 5PM to set up.
Feel free to come early and hang-out!

BPMS Inhouse Meeting: April 17, 2026

BPMS ACTIVITIES

By Bobby Pokorny

Welcome to APRIL! We are one third of the way through 2026. This is your final month to declare pledges.

MODEL PLEDGES: This is the final month to declare Model Pledges for the year. In case you aren’t sure how this works, for each new model you bring in you get credit for ONE ticket for the Annual Super Raffle in NOVEMBER. By declaring (by this month) then completing that PLEDGE MODEL on or before OCTOBER earns you an additional FIVE Super Raffle tickets.

WIP NIGHT: What are you working on? Bring something(s) that you are working on to show the group. For those who have already declared their Pledges, this would be a good time to show your progress. Please be prepared to tell the group a few words on how the build is going and your approach to dealing with things.

Meeting Date: APRIL 17, 2026
Members start showing up by 5PM to set up.
Feel free to come early and hang-out!

BPMS Inhouse Meeting: March 20, 2026

Welcome to MARCH! To finish up the first quarter of BPMS activities we have:

Decal Swap Night: Bring decals you no longer need to swap or sell with other members. You might find those markings that you have been looking for!

Green Model Night: The big holiday for March is St Patrick ’s Day and what better way to observe it than with GREEN MODELS. It’s not a contest, simply a theme for models to bring. You are welcome to bring back something old to show the group, or if it ties into the theme in some way, it would be great. Be prepared to tell the group a few words on your models.

Of course, everyone is welcome to bring any other new work that has been completed.

You also still have time to declare your model pledge. Speak with me about it. April is the cut off for declarations and October is the due date for finished models.

June’s Theme Contest: The Vertical Take Off Theme Contest is off and running! Build something that can have a CONTROLLED vertical take-off AND landing. Think helicopters and harriers, but not V2 rockets.

Meeting Date: MARCH 20, 2026
Members start showing up by 5PM to set up.
Feel free to come early and hang-out!

BPMS In-house Meeting: February 20, 2026

We have a fun night planned for February!

Show Us Your Tool: This activity may sound vulgar but has been a fun tradition for decades. Do you have a favorite tool that you like to use? Have you found a new tool the members might want to know about? Do you have a method to get things done that is really helpful? Bring it in and show the group!

 

Contest Night 1Q: The first quarterly contest is upon us. Feel free to bring in models that you haven’t previously brought in for a quarterly contest.  If you built something new for the December theme contest, you are invited to bring it back for competition.

 

Model Pledges: I am still making the list for this year’s Pledges. Speak with Bobby for details!

 

June’s Theme Contest: The Vertical Take Off Theme Contest is off and running! Build something that can have a CONTROLLED vertical take-off AND landing. Think helicopters and harriers, but not V2 rockets.

BPMS In-house Meeting: January 16, 2026

ACTIVITIES DIRECTING
By Bobby Pokorny

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2026! I hope you had a delightful Holiday Season!

Kit Sale Night: After the Holidays it seems like a perfect time to re-evaluate our stacks and maybe part with some kits we might have updated, and pay some bills. Feel free to bring in models to sell. Bring some extra cash, too! You never know what might show up and there are no tabs at this bar!

Declare Model Pledge: Pledges for the year are OPEN! What does this mean? Select an unbuilt model from your stack, tell BOB about it so he can add it to the list, and you have to build it for PLEDGE NIGHT in OCTOBER. Pledge Models can be declared up through APRIL.

Planning for the Year: We have some commitments for June 2026. STRAIGHT UP! It's a VERTICAL TAKE OFF theme with plenty of options to build for. Sponsored by Frank, Joe and Angelo. For the end of the year we are looking at celebrating the anniversaries of STAR TREK / STAR WARS. More on that as we get closer.

Meeting Date: JANUARY 16, 2026
Members start showing up by 5PM to set up.
Feel free to come early and hang-out!

BPMS Inhouse Meeting: December 19, 2025

 ACTIVITIES DIRECTING

By Bobby Pokorny

December. There it is. Another year in the books! So this is what you can look forward to at the final meeting of 2025. 

British Sci-Fi Invasion Theme Contest: You’ve been building for this for MONTHS. Now is the time to bring in your model(s). Sponsored by Israel and Jeff, the group was challenged to build something that British based Sci-Fi. There are lots of options so we are expecting quite a variety! 

Annual Awards: Your humble narrator and BPMS secretary has been crunching the numbers for the annual contest and now we get to see the results of who YOU chose in each category, most popular entries, and who will be the TOP GUN!

Holiday Desserts: We encourage members to bring desserts to the December Meeting for our in-house year-end celebration. 

Holiday Dinner: At the time this is posted the Holiday Luncheon will have taken place. We are tried out a new place this year: Wheelers. Everyone seemed to be very happy with the food and service. Of course, it’s always a fun time with friends and family.

THANK YOU TO THE MEMBERSHIP FOR ANOTHER AMAZING AND MEMORABLE YEAR! 

HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON AND A SAFE AND WONDERFUL 2026!

Meeting Date: DECEMBER 19, 2025

 ACTIVITIES DIRECTING

By Bobby Pokorny

  
Welcome to SEPTEMBER! We have some important items this month to deal with so let's get to it.
 

 Remembering Don: Longtime member Don Illjes passed away in July. We would like to mark the occasion to ask for members to bring things to tell the group about that relate to memories of Don.  

 Holiday Dinner: Since the last meeting members have been contacting various venues regarding party menus. We MUST nail down a decision at this meeting so we can make arrangements. 

I am sure we will also discuss the latest IPMS News as I will be participating in the Region One Zoom the night before the meeting.

ACTIVITIES DIRECTING

By Bobby Pokorny

  
Welcome to AUGUST! We have some fun things coming up this month. 

Hello everyone! August is upon us again. The year sure has been moving along way too quickly! This month’s activities are:

 Pizza Night: Possibly the biggest member favorite activity. Just be sure that your dues are paid up. Bring your appetite, but not your friends.

 Contest Night 3Q: This is the third installment of the annual contest. That means you can bring in any work that hasn’t already appeared in a quarterly contest. You can, however, bring in anything you built for the LONG LIVE THE KING theme contest since it is new work. 

I am sure we will also discuss the IPMS Nationals as we have several members attending. 

Meeting Date: 
AUGUST 15, 2025
Members start showing up by 5PM to set up.
Feel free to come early and hang-out!
