Our August meeting occurred on Friday the 31st at the GSA San Diego Campus. We had lots of great models brought in for show n’ tell, including six individual Nationals award winners and one collection which also won an award at IPMS Nationals in Phoenix. Additionally, Manny Gutsche gave us an overview of the “Best-Of”s and special award winners from Nationals.
Last item – please note that the October meeting has been moved up from October 26 to October 19. This has been updated in the calendar and on Facebook. Our newsletter will also reflect that change.
