2016 December Meeting

I trust that everyone was happy with their stash of kits from the December Meeting Monster Raffle and the spiteful Santa organised by Al. Bowie. I  hope that you can find the time now to build them over the coming months and we see them on rhe Comp table.

AMMS Members had another great year at interstate and local comps including Sydney Scale Model Show, Illawarra, Canberra, Brisbane and Melbourne shows. It really demonstrates the individual strengths of our memebers within AMMS. We finished the year with the Andy Reid Memorial Trophy a joint Sherman build competition with AMMS Brisbane. Andy was a long term member of Brisbane AMMS. David McKinley’s  Sherman build won the day in a secret ballat style selection of the competing shermans.

I hope that everyone has a Happy and Safe Christmas and New Year and we see you again on the second Friday of January 2017 for you to show what Santa bought for you.

From the “Committee” and myself all the best for the New Year ahead. Regards David McKinley – President..
