We meet at 7:30pm on the 2nd Friday of each month at the Knights of Columbus hall on South Ave. in Garwood, NJ (across from the Pathmark), accessible from the GSP exit 137. New Jersey IPMS is a club of modelers who get together once a month to trade ideas on modeling and basically have fun. We have a monthly, informal contest within our club. Membership dues are 25$ a year or 3$ per meeting. Our biggest event is what we lovingly call Mosquitocon. This is our biggest contest of the year and we also invite hobby retailers to come in and sell their goods at a special show price. We have had contestants from the hinterlands of NJ, PA, NY and as far away as VA and MASS. During our meetings we talk about the latest news from kit manufacturers, we also have informal classes to keep our skills sharp and maybe learn a thing or two. Our members run the gambit of modeling, we have armor, aircraft, automobile, sci-fi, figures and ship modelers. Our skill level runs from beginner to expert and all levels in between. We also like to support our community by getting involved with various projects that are happening locally. We have been actively supporting the efforts of the Battleship New Jersey Foundation, both with donations from the club and building replicas of New Jersey. We have done shows for New Jersey’s Liberty Science Center, The Intrepid Air and Space Museum and various airshows. Most of all we are just a bunch of modelers who get together once a month to have fun talking about modeling and meeting with friends, so come on and join us. |
