Old Business:

Nationals

• The originally planned October 15th High Plains Contest is now scheduled for November 5th and confirmed with Michael.  Looking for sponsors from other clubs for trophies

New Business: 

• An “official” club Facebook group will be created. It will adhere to the same content direction as the
website per the bylaws, under the direction of the club president. A vote was called for by the president.
Motion approved.

• Art presented a flyer for a train show in Greeley, Sat April 23, 9am-5pm. The Granite Mountain Railway
is located at 701 Terry St. Longmont 80501 – This is an amazing layout controlled by an actual railroad
switchboard and a multitude of operators.

• Car show at Hobby Town Westminster – Saturday Noon – 4pm 9120 Wadsworth Blvd.
• Looking to start it up to dinner after meetings again. Please bring you ideas and appetites.

• Next Month is the annual club auction.  After seeing how many models members have in their collections (some in the 1000s)…per the email
question by Paublo, I would expect members have models their collection that will never be built. (I
brought 5 last time with only 135 models in my collection) Don’t be that person who comes to the potluck
and only brings a fork…

• A motion made and vote for, per the direction of the club president, to approve Tomasz as our webmaster for
2022. Motion approved.
