Well done guys.

And a reminder that Septembers Thursday meeting will be the Battlefield Trophy Competition which is open to all scales and subjects. Also our next themed competition will be for Decembers Thursday meet where the theme will be " a model of any subject from the year (or era) you were born" and remember it's the subject that has to be from that era, not the kit itself :)

Hi Folks,

After some discussion it has been decided to postpone the Airfix competition till next months meeting on Thursday, 17th of March, so you now have an extra month to get something finished so no excuses. See you all this Thursday.

Scottish National Model Show

2010-04-19T07:45:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

It's the Scottish National Scale Model Show this weekend at Perth so I hope to see as many of you there as possible. We have four tables booked so please bring along your models for display. We are having a special "Soviet" display while the show itself is having a "Battle Of Britain" display, so all models for these, and any others of course, will be welcome. I'll be there both days so see you at the Dewars Centre.

Andy

2010-03-22T05:04:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

Just a couple of things. First let me thank Keith for letting us hold the last meeting in his house.

During this meeting myself, Ian and Alan visited a proposed new venue for the club. A report on this venue should be emailed to you all soon. Also remember that the Scottish Nationals are but a month away, 24th and 25th April, and that we have four tables booked, so get your models ready. The general theme of the show will be The Battle Of Britain, however we're putting on a display with a Soviet Union theme? Models suitable for these themes and other models of any theme/time/subject will all be welcome on the tables, so hope to see as many of you there as possible.

That's all for now,
Andy

This Months Meeting

2010-03-16T14:50:00.000-07:00

Just to remind everyone that this months meeting, on Thursday, will be held at Keiths house from 7.30 onwards. Hopefully we'll discuss suitable new venues. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Andy

The Search For A New Venue

2010-02-22T03:02:00.000-08:00

Hi All,

After our final meeting in the Engineeers Club the search is on for a new venue. All the details of what we discussed on Thursday will be emailed to everyone as soon as I have finished editing Ians minutes (an "interesting" task)! While we have a few ideas "in the pot" so to speak, we are open to suggestions from anyone about possible new venues. The March meeting however will be held, thanks to Keith, in his house so please remember and bring along your own juice and nibbles etc. as it would hardly be fair to expect him to supply them. I will of course email everyone with Keiths address.

Regards,
Andy

Looking Good So Far

2010-02-17T02:37:00.000-08:00

Hi Andy

This is great just what we need to be able to keep everyone in touch if they cant make the monthly meetings.

Also it should allow the model club to be advertised for any new modellers in our area.

Cheers

Ian

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to introduce, to those of you who don't know about them, a couple of sites run by members of our club. Firstly, Calum Melrose's Photopage. His site features pictures of his excellent small scale armour models and his other interest, full size buses. Also Keith McNeill's site which has some superb pics of his space/sci-fi models in realistic settings and backgrounds, great stuff.

I'd also like to remind everyone that tomorrow is club meeting night where we will have to discuss the problem of finding new premises, so if anyone has any ideas please put them forward.

Andy

Welcome to our new blog.

2010-02-16T04:21:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone, welcome to the new Edinburgh IPMS and Lothian Modellers Club blog. We'll use this site to keep everyone up to date on club info and post any news about meetings and shows. This will be especially handy given that we will are currently looking for new premises to hold the club due to the imminent closure of the Royal Engineers Club. I'll be adding other posters to this blog so if you would like to be one just let me know.

So we now have this blog, lets use it,

Andy
