Contents From The Editor
The threat of snow prevented me from getting to the July
2 Club Dates meeting, but Grant has kindly provided some pics that show
some fine work on display. The speed build was a lot of fun last
3 Club News year, so I’m particularly annoyed to have missed out on this year’s
4 July Show and Tell session!
7 Member Buy/Sell/Swap I’m desperately trying to find some time to finish off BSK entries
- one is done, and there are two more tantalisingly close to the
8 2019 Membership form line... Hopefully everyone else is progressing well and we’ll look
forward to seeing the results next week.
