October 16, 2026, BPMS Inhouse Meeting!

Where has the year gone? It’s already OCTOBER so let’s see what’s cooking!

 

Model Pledges: You declared your pledge model earlier this year. Bring your model, complete or not to this meeting. Of course, completed pledges earn an additional FIVE Super Raffle Tickets.

 

Spooky Model Night: It IS October. So if you don’t have a pledge (or even if you do) why not bring in something that can be considered spooky. Eg: Obvious -  Dracula or The Mummy. Less Obvious – F-4 Phantom

 

Officer Nominations: Two years are up for the guys at the top seats. Who will we select next? 

 

Holiday Luncheon: During the September Meeting  Russ reported that WHEELER'S penciled us in for December 5. We will continue to iron out details for the event.

 

Golden Age of American Sci-Fi Theme Contest: 12/18/2026 is coming quickly! Are you being yet?  

 

Club Group Build 2027: Julio pitched the idea of the group building the same robot kit, with everyone having the freedom to customize as they like.  The group seemed very interested so we will iron out those details in the coming months. The final outcome will likely be the activity for Sept, 2027.

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

Swap Night – Bring in models to swap or sell. You might want to bring some cash in case someone brings in that kit you’ve been looking for!

Large Model Theme Night - Jimmy made the suggestion, so we are bringing in LARGE MODELS to display. Even if it’s a WIP, we’d be happy to see it for the display.

BPMS Poker Chips – President Kevin got us a supply of BPMS Poker chips to give out at shows. If you are planning on going to a show, please see the officers so we can give you some chips to place with exceptional work.

BPMS Stickers – We made up some really nice looking club logo stickers and they will be up for sale starting this month.

It's a great honor that the BPMS has been recognized as the IPMS Region One Chapter of the year for the third year in a row! Thank you for your consideration. Thank you to the BPMS membership for doing an amazing job and thinking outside of the box. An extra special thank you goes out to Julio for catapulting the BPMS into the spotlight with his group build, community outreach programs.

August Activities

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 VERTICAL TAKE OFF theme contest since it is new work. 

Meeting Date: AUGUST 21, 2026
Members start showing up by 5PM to set up.
Feel free to come early and hang-out!

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
