Club Magazine

A magazine is prepared on a regular basis by the editorial team and available for collection on CD or hardcopy at meetings. The magazine is designed to keep members advised of Society activities and coming events plus events within the general modelling community. The magazine also frequently contains articles on modelling topics and reference material. Members are encouraged to submit articles for publication.

Traders selling a wide range of modelling merchandise including kits, accessories, books etc are present at each meeting. The private sale of kits by members is also a popular activity at club meetings, with many a good bargain to be had. In fact, the July meeting is dedicated to a “Kit Auction” where members are encouraged to clear all those unwanted kits from the cupboard.

There is both an ordinary and a special raffle that are held at meetings with a wide range of the very latest kits up for grabs. Special raffle items are determined by the committee, tickets of which are both available at meetings.
