We are finally able to get back into our normal meeting routine after many months of enforced isolation due to the government COVID restrictions. Hopefully you have all managed to stay relatively healthy and sane (well as sane we modellers dare to be). The transition back to normal for our club began in August when we held an all-day gathering at the Ipswich and District Indoor Bowling Club. This gave us an opportunity to air out our models and put our lockdown builds on display for the first time in 17 months. The turn out was nothing short of tremendous with literally hundreds of models on display. This was followed up by a club night two weeks later and our first build night the second Tuesday of September. For a recap of what you might have missed, click on the link to check out our Facebook page here IPMS Ipswich . This is a public Facebook page, so you do not need to be signed up to Facebook to view it.
Our next club meeting will take place on Tuesday, 28 September beginning at 7:30 PM in the games room of the Ipswich and District Indoor Bowling Club, 136 Rushmere Road, Ipswich IP4 4JU. In addition to bringing along your usual builds, our competition secretary has added the theme of "All at Sea" for this month's meeting, so you are likely to see some nautical subjects on the table from our regular members.
