Hello all,
Just a reminder that BC RPM is only 3 weeks away. Our fifth annual meet will
again be held in conjunction with
Trains 2012. The meet will be held in Burnaby, BC on Saturday, November 10th,
2012 from 10AM to 4PM. Participants are invited to display their models and
dioramas, share information and learn valuable techniques in an interactive and
non-competitive environment. All SCALES and ALL ROADS are welcome as are
in-progress models. BRING YOUR MODELS!!!
Building on last year's success, the meet will feature an expanded show & tell
segment providing modeller's the opportunity to discuss their techniques and
experiences in a group setting during the lunch hour.
