International Plastic Modellers Society.
They have branches all over the world.Most of the model shows are organised by local branches.
I think IPMS/Armorama UK is the first online branch.
Mal (Holdfast) is the man to ask for more info on the site.

Yep Armorama has it's own IPMS branch here in the UK. We hope to be standing at Hinckley in Liecester on the 23rd April so if you come along come and say hi.
We always try and get talking to the punters and there have been a couple of guys who have not said hello because they have seen us talking to the public. Commendable of course but I can assure you that you should butt in to say that you are an Armorama fan. I can then bring you in to the conversation which will help prove what a wonderful family we have. One of the aims of IPMS Armorama is to promote the site/s.
If you are already an IPMS member you can, of course, become a member of IPMS Armorama. Click on my banner and it will take you to the web site
See you at Hinckley.
Mal
