Don't forget the Model Pledge Contest for 2024
March 24, 2024,
Wow, about 40 folks attended March's meeting, standing room only, 5 people that are usually there didn't show, that would have given us 45 people. We are possibly looking for a larger venue; the model quality was great this month (see the Galleries page). The models and enthusiasm at the meetings are infectious, we have a great group. Some members are asking about advanced modeling techniques, if any of you have any questions on the hobby, techniques, etc., please don't be afraid to ask those questions at the meeting, we are here to help and steer you in the right direction. While we don't have the time to properly do much of that at the meetings, we are looking into occasional alternate group sessions, maybe at the local Clearwater Library meeting room.
Be thinking about getting those models started on the Model Contest Pledge Build for 2024 was off to a good start for October's Club Contest. We have 27 club members who have declared a specific model to build for the 2024 contest. At October's meeting, we will have a judged contest and award 1st, 2nd & 3rd cash awards.
The Revised Theme awards system. The new system seemed to go well. Greg Renn won 1st place with his Avenger for 6 points, Brian Fowler voted 2nd for his Japanese Zero for 4 points and Tom Hartline won 3rd place for his 2001: A Space Odyssey Discovery spacecraft for 2 points. Everyone else who brought in a model got one point for participating.
The way it works: Everyone who brings a model to the meeting for the Monthly Theme goes to Paula first and gets a numbered chit to place with your model. Non-theme models check in with her too so she can log in a point for bringing in a model. Everyone bringing in a model will get at least 1 point. Cosmetically nothing will change, we will still vote the same as we always have done and there will be a monthly winner but additionally, 1st place will get 6 points, 2nd will get 4 points, 3rd will get 2 points and anyone bringing a model to the meeting will get 1 point. In November the total points will be added up awarding 1st, 2nd & 3rd Cash Awards.
