We had a great last meeting for 2016. This was also the occasion for our annual Christmas party, celebrated with copious amounts of pizza! Outgoing President Mike O’Leary formally handed over the reins of the club to incoming President Bob Ekstrom.
The F-16 group build continued and members presented their progress to the club. There was also the usual show n’ tell of other ongoing projects and items of interest to the modelling hobby.
The members of the club peruse the models brought in for display
