What a magnificent turn out for the penultimate meeting for the year. The room was abuzz with members and visitors alike. It was good to see our friends and great sponsors of the APMA Start Hobbies and Platypus publications in the room plus our new friends Melissa & Matthew Gock from Sideline Hobbies with a fine selection of kits and modelling supplies. The tables this month were overflowing with a vast array of models on show with dual themes of ‘Mammals’ and the letter ‘M’. Check them out below!
