Performance Modeling Club

 Calling all Performance Model members. I know that the summer months are just about upon us but would anybody like to build a model? I think it would be fun to pick a specific model or two to choose from and throw down a challenge to have it build or almost completed by the fall meeting. We could show our models (un-judged) at the fall meeting. It might be fun to then discuss our experience. I am thinking the new Kurtis midget would be allot of fun as one possible subject. Any body have an idea for a second subject?

This is just my suggestion and is not an official club activity.

The idea is to build and have fun.....Let me know what you think

Hello,

It has been awhile since I posted on the blog so here goes.

January 16, 2011 is our next club meeting and it is open to the general public.  If you enjoy making models or just models in general, come and enjoy the meeting.  Bring a model to share if you have on handy. 

  Date:  January 16th

  Time:  2:00 pm

 Place:  Round Table Pizza

             115 East College Way

              Mount Vernon, WA 98273

Phone:  (360) 424-7979 ‎   (Call ahead to pre-order and receive your discount and a soda.)

This has been an amazing year so far.  Many memebers have stepped up to the plate and taken on new positions.  The whole club has enjoyed our meetings, as we have found many members staying after to talk and share more models. This year it was voted that we have a December meeting which turned out to be great, so who knows maybe next year we will vote to hold a meeting in December again.

Plans for the upcoming Model Show are in full swing and many of the areas we have to take care of right before the show are already completed and ready for the show.   Our club is working hard to make this another great show for everyone. 

We have a number of new sponsors this year.  We want to thank each of you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at the 16th Annual Model Show & Swap Meet, February 27, 2012 at the Cotton Tree Inn in Mt. Vernon, WA.

President Patrick Howell has been going down his list and for months he and his wife Ann have been compiling all that will be needed to make our Model Show run smoothly.

We are still going to need members to step up and take on positions at the show to replace those who will no longer be there working. It will be different without all the regular members working the different areas, but we will do our best and I am sure it will all come together to be one amazing Sunday.

Our next club meeting will be January 17th.  We are taking off the month of December to give everyone a break for the holidays. 

Keep January 17th...2 pm  Round Table Pizza in Mt. Vernon on your calendar.  Bring your spouse and enjoy a meeting. 

Our meetings are not just for those who are building models....this club is a family.  Bring friends who enjoy your hobby too.

Enjoy your Holidays.

Our club meeting was a great success.  Thanks to all who attended.  It was a great turnout this month and we hope each month will be even better. 

Remember our club meetings are open to the community and are held now at Round Table Pizza in Mt. Vernon.  Everyone is welcome.  The meetings are always held on the third Sunday of each month at 2 pm.

Come and check the meetings out.

Today, we learned of the passing of a club member and friend.  Rich Gustafson passed away yesterday.  Rich was an amazing club member and friend.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rich's family.  May you all find comfort knowing how many lifes Rich blessed during his time here with us.

For those of you who don't know what all he did for club:

Rich prepared the flyers for the club and distributed them

Rich made the wooden plaques for the Model Show Winners

Rich jumped in and opened his home to the Model Club members for our meetings

Rich willingly delivered papers to and from members as needed

These are only a few things he generously did for the club.

Rich was an amazing craftsman.  He worked with wood in a way most of us only dream of. 

Rich you will be missed by us all.  What an amazing man you were.  Even as I write this post we all are still sitting here in disbelief.   

We just received an email from Scale Hobby Forum.  They are willing to place a link on there site for us.  Neil also asked for the 2010 Flyers so he could post them on the site as well.

Welcome to the blog area for the Performance Modeling Club website.  This is a new site and we are looking forward to having all the members join and start in on the forums and blog areas.  For the last month we have worked on putting together a site which will be informative and fun for all who visit.

Enjoy!
