IPMS Scale Model World 2014
« on: November 10, 2014, 11:18:48 AM »
We all had an excellent weekend at Telford , bought and saw lots of stuff.
Lots of our club in attendance, apologies if I miss anyone out.
Myself, Kevin, Andy, Roger, Adrian, Neil, Trevor, Martin, Gerry, John C, Peter D, John and Janice(they come as a pair).

Renewed friendships and made some enemies, but the IPMS has moved along and I was very impressed in general with them. The club stand looked good.

Kevin won a silver award for his Focke Wulf 190, and John C. got a bronze for his Wright Cyclone engine. When you consider that there were some of the best models in Europe on display they did really well.
I have included some photos for you as well

Our club as a whole won a trophy from SAMI magazine for the best IPMS show in 2014, this was presented at the show. This is for our show at Driffield. I must congratulate all our members for the hard work at our show and praise in particular must go to Kevin for all his hard work.

Some drank and ate too much, some felt ill, some just never shut up. I am sure you may recognise some from the description there.
Well done to the club for a great weekend.

Oh Heck, we look like a set of inmates from the prison on day release!

A great weekend with some great guys and gal.

Thanks to all who went and helped over the weekend.

Chuffed about the trophy for our show. I know we all did our bit but without Kevin's drive and enthusiasm, it wouldn't happen so well done mate.

Fantastic weekend. Really enjoyed the company, even though Dave hoged the hotel tv.
Well done to all.

Not hard at all.
Maybe with a little training.
How is the dirigible?

Do you mean Andy has a dirigible?

I thought it was just how he stood.
