2003 S.A. Scale Model Expo
This years Expo will be held on the weekend of October 24-25(to be confirmed).
The Armour Sig display theme for 2002 will be : "Warfare in the West" So for armour modellers we have WW2, WW1, Spanish Civil War, Northern Ireland & Bosnia etc. For the figure painters we have Napoleonics, ECW, ACW, Native Americans etc,etc. Remember display items are FREE to enter. See Clive Paling for details.
The theme display for the Aircraft SIG will be : "Storms in the Sky " This primarily covers British aircraft from the Hurricane to the Typhoon. See John Kerr or Graeme Bawhey for details.
The Auto theme display is to be finalised.
So if you have models that fit into these themes (and that shouldn't be too hard!) please bring them along to the Expo and give us, and the general public, a chance to see them.

The Club Modeller of the Year for 2002 was Jason Richter. For his efforts throughout the year Jason the club awarded with a $50.00 voucher. Congratulations to Jason from us all.

The Club Modeller of the Year votes for January's meeting have been safely filed away. When I manage to remember where I filed them I'll put them up with February's votes as well.

It's been quite a while since the last Sapmail as you may have noticed. There have been several reasons for this but the major reason is lack of content. Simple really: no input = no Sapmail.

So you want to submit an article, ad in the Classifieds or an item for the Bulletin Board? They can be submitted on disc as a Word or Text file. Hand or type written articles are no problem. Email submissions are also not a problem. If you have any questions call me on 8374 2743 or email : mgp@ihug.com.au

You don't need to be Bryce Courtney to submit an article. If you've just finished building a kit then jot down some notes about it ie parts fit, ease of construction, decal quality and so on.

Equally as good are In-Box Reviews. If you've just bought a kit or aftermarket item then feel free to share your thoughts on it.

General types of articles, some interesting information about a plane or tank or car you'd like to share, your favourite websites and so on will also be cheerfully accepted. Don't be afraid! I promise not to laugh at you. Honest!
