Just a reminder that there is a club meeting this Thursday, followed by a trip to the Glasgow Modelfest this Saturday. Remember it's not at the kelvin Hall this year. It has been moved to Bellahouston sports centre, Glasgow. Now according to Google maps, the address is given as 31 Bellahouston Dr, Glasgow, Lanarkshire G52 1HH. Directions from Edinburgh says, exit from M8 at junction 24. I hope to see you all there. Anyone reading this who isn't a member, come along and say hello. It's a great show, open from 10am until 4pm.

We had another successful competition evening on Thursday which was well attended. I've noticed lately that the entries are much more diverse subjects and it's not just planes and tanks!

The result was as follows;

1. Luc with his scratch built Fairmile D boat
2. Pete with his Op Herrick diorama
3. Chris with his ship diorama

Well done to Luc once again. That's 3 in a row, can he win the next one and hold all 4 trophies? find out in September, when we will hold the Battlefield trophy. This is an open competition. Any subject, any scale. Get building guys.
