Posted on by

**UPDATE** The meeting time at Schmidt’s will be 5p.m.

Just a reminder that the club will be having a group outing for members at Schmidt’s (Real! German! Food!) on Thursday evening of the Nationals. That’s next Thursday, the 23rd, at 5 p.m.* The restaurant’s website is HERE, and the address is:
240 East Kossuth Street
Columbus, OH, 43206

Remember, this is a club member event. Others (family, friends, etc.) are welcome to join us, but the club will only be covering the tabs of dues-paying members. This is purely a matter of finances, nothing more.

Secondly, Mike Pavlo and Marc Rocca have been to Avenel recently, and offer this report:  The last day of business will be 7/31/15 (earlier it was posted as 7/28, but he’ll be open thru 7/31).  Store Hours for July 29, 30, 31 are 11:00am-9:00pm.  Currently all books are buy one get one free. All paints are now discounted too. Kits are 30% off. Also buy 2 kits at regular price and get 2 kits of equal or lesser value for free.

May 2015 Meeting

Posted on by

IMG_1881Photos from the May 2015 NJIPMS meeting are below. There was a great turnout in both members and models. The business meeting ran short and to the point: the question of whether anyone would be interested in the club renting a van for 6-8 people to drive to the Nationals in Columbus this July was met with the answer that most who know they are going have already secured transportation, so that idea was dropped.

Upcoming Events and News:

  • Art asked that everyone remember that next month is Italian Night.
  • The finish date for the Phantom group build has been set tentatively for January of 2016.
  • Jersey Fest Fair is August 28-30th this year. For those into, or just curious about, Sci-Fi and Fantasy modeling, this is a great show to check out, and it’s close. View their website HERE.
  • MosquitoCon 25 “Silver” is set for April 2nd, 2016. A basic preliminary page has been added HERE. 80 vendor tables are already sold. Our own Jon Da Silva will continue to do the awards, he has something special in mind for the silver anniversary show.

Modelfest in Runnemede CANCELLED

Posted on by

The Modelfest show that was scheduled in Runnemede, NJ, this coming weekend, October 18th, has been CANCELLED. Evidently there has been an issue with renovations at the host hotel that have gone over schedule and facilities will not be available.

Thanks to Mike P. for the information.
