Hello everyone,
I'm looking for modellers in the New Castle, Butler, Kittanning, Indiana, and Natrona Heights areas of Pa.
I would like to join an IPMS club in my area, or form a new one if neccessary. I've been playing with the idea for several years and now i'm serious about it. I'm tired of being the only plastiholic around. i need some serious face to face feedback , tips and ideas from other like-minded people. Please contact me here if you are interested.
Thanks,
Bodeen

Hey Bodeen,
Sorry but I just stumbled upon your posting or I would have responded earlier.
I'm in Pittsburgh and we have an IPMS chapter here We meet the first Friday of each month and you're welcome to come check us out anytime you like.
Here's a link to our (new) website...
Three Rivers IPMS
It's not complete yet but it does have info and directions to our meeting place.
Also, there's a group that meets in the Sharon area.
Here's their site... Sharon
We actually have a couple of the Sharon guys that travel down to our club.
I'm guessing that you're probably not too familiar with the Pittsburgh suburbs. If you want to come to the club sometime, we can always meet up and you can ride there with me. The August meeting is actually going to be a picnic on a later date in the month. So Septemper may be the best meeting for you visit us.
Let me know what you think.

Hello! Thanks for the invitation. I will take you up on it. I'm not familiar with the suburbs. I know a little about the South Hills. I did attend your last show at Upper St. Claire HS and it was really nice. You have some talented people there AND I got some good deals. I work at the airport so i'll just stay in Pittsburgh that day.
I'll be in touch before the meeting.
Thanks again,
Jeff
PS:This is the second time I've tried to send this. I hope it works.

Hi Jeff,
Sounds good. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
I live in Crafton so meeting up should be pretty easy for us to do.
I'll send you a PM with my phone number so that you can give me a call anytime.
Talk to you soon,
Craig

I'm in State College...
