NORTH WEST MODEL SHIPWRIGHTS
The next meeting of this ship-model society will be held on Saturday 6th June, 2009 in the Church Hall of:
The Church of Our Lady & St. Michael, Grimsargh, Lancashire.
The meeting commences at 1100, breaks for lunch 1230 – 1400 & meeting closes about 1600.
Guests, wives/partners and accompanied children welcome.
There is plenty of free parking in the Church grounds with disabled parking directly outside the door of the Church Hall.
Toilet facilities available. Coffee & tea-making facilities also available.
At lunch time, some members remain in the hall taking their own sandwiches, whilst other go to a local public house for lunch.
All types of model building it catered for ranging from plastic kits to the most superb plank-on-frame models. Members & guest are encouraged to bring models along either competed or part-built. All skill levels are also catered for & some of our members are simply “interested” in the subject, but do not actively build.

Hope to see some of you there.

Bob,

Hope you have agreat day. My father and I were both members, 20 odd years ago and a superb little organisation it is.. 

[Bob WilsonParticipant @bobwilson59101]

Hi Barry,

Thanks, we had a good day.  22 members, no guests.    I joined in 1993, so we will not have met.    Only a few of the 1993 members left now, but we still have about 60 members, average attendance 25.
