We had a great meeting in June. The club membership discussed and voted to approve the new club constitution and by-laws. These will be posted soon on the website.
We had a lot of models brought in – thanks to everyone for participating.
Please note that our next meeting will be on Friday, July 21 since the normal meeting date conflicts with the IPMS USA Nationals. This will be our annual BBQ – we provide the hot dogs, hamburgers and soft drinks, you provide the side dishes and desserts. See you then!
