Title: 20th Anniversay Club Barbeque Night
Post by: Bigkev on August 23, 2015, 07:18:09 AM
Hi All,

Just like to say a big thankyou to all those who attended the Clubs 20th Year celebration Barbeque held in the Garden of Cass Hall, our normal meeting venue. Members and their wives, girlfriends, and children joined together to enjoy a social night.

It is hard to believe that the club has existed for 20 years, and has grown into a vibrant and respected club. We have a great mix of modellers, making all manner of subjects, in differing scales and media types. at the moment we have around 30 members, a very healthy membership. We have had lots of success as a club both on an individual basis and as a club in its own right, winning the Best Model Show Trophy for 2014, for last years East Riding of Yorkshire Model Show which we host.

Huge thanks  to Andy and Shaz for helping to prepare the venue ready for the night, to Margaret for making the celebration cake, and lastly but not least to my wife Christine for helping me in gathering some of the ancillary items (plates, napkins, etc.) and for making a fantastic Strawberry Sponge cake.
 
The weather was kind to us and I think all had a pleasant and relaxing time on the night, with lots of food and drink being consumed in a very relaxed atmosphere.

The Celebration Cake was cut by myself, whilst others of the club looked on behind, and nobody did the 'bunny ears' trick behind me.

Thankyou once again, to all concerned for making the night a success.

Here is to the next 20 years.

From the 'newbie' it was a great night and thanks to all for making the 'present' Mrs D and me so welcome! In view of the 'vintage' aspect of that photo I thought this to be more appropriate...? Well done all!

A very pleasant evening indeed.  As much as I enjoy modelling and picking up tips and advice from you all, it was lovely to have the time to be talk about things other than modelling.  And of course, the opportunity to get some meat inside me is always welcome too!
