Would the 21st of April work for those interested in our 1st meeting? We would hold it at my place and then we can rotate it to the other members homes. If someone can come up with a place to meet let us know.
I was thinking around noon for a start time. Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks
Mike

Sadly I work both of those days, however only until 4. Do we need to be ipms members to attend? Because I am not, merely an enthusiast.

No, you do not need to be a member of either IPMS or AMPS.

I will not be able to have the meeting this weekend. I am looking at getting together at the Madison show on the first weekend of May.
Let me know what you guys think. Who is going?

Hi Mike,
How are you doing? I was looking at a meeting here in West Bend at my place on either the 15 or 22 of September. I figured we could do some how to sessions, talk about the club and maybe grill out for lunch/dinner and talk models for awhile.
Let me know your thoughts.
Mike
PS It was great seeing you at the Madison show last month.

Are we just going to call it the Mike Club? I am down though, preferibly the 15th, as I am sure to have plans the 22nd.

I have several projects that I am working on for the IPMS Nationals. Not sure if I will be going to Atlanta for the AMPS Nationals.

The 15th is ok as of today. I am going to try and see if I can get a guest speaker at the meeting. I will let everyone know when and if I do.
I will need to know by the 15th of August who is planning on coming to the meeting.

Sounds like Madison has the Region 5 regional for next year. It is in March. I sure hope it is not at the same place they hold their regular show.

One thing I would like to do in the club is road trips to various shows.
One that is interesting is the Region 4 convention next year in Dayton, Ohio.
It is by the USAF Museum which is a very good trip by it self.
