On Sunday 4th September Romsey Modellers held its 3rd Build a Model in a Day event. 10 intrepid members took up the challenge and were found equal to the task when at 4.30pm after just 7 hours of hard graft some fantastic models were placed on the competition table. After judging Malcolm Grant’s Sherman was deemed a worthy winner, however everybody who took part should be congratulated on their efforts which produced models that would grace many a show’s exhibition tables.

Our next club meeting will take place on Wednesday 21st September at the Ampfield Village Hall from 8:00pm. The meeting will be a ‘normal’ night though we’ll have an exhibition from Brian Sampson and it’ll be the last chance to organise the Airfix visit transport, as that’s the next day! We look forward to seeing you.
