Group 25 Model Car Builders Club presents our 13th annual contest and vendors area...theme...Flashback to the 60s...plus our usual assortment of classes plus special Craftsmanship Awards...for those who have never been to this contest, it is a great small show with some excellent competitors and local vendors with judging by the host club. The Toronto area has several good hobby stores, so if you come in a day or two early, there is lots to keep you busy. If you have any questions, ask me...HOWARD.COHEN@SYMPATICO.CA

This is an excellent annual show with many quality models BUT the vendor room is worth the visit. Many old original models that you can't even find on e-bay.

[Howard Cohen]

As of last week, we have sold more than half of our vendors tables. We usually have about 30 vendors tables. Last year we had 34 with 3 people on standby. This year we have 18 tables sold, usually by this time we have sold 10, so we are ahead of the norm. As always, we are looking for more sponsors, prize donations, vendors and attendees. We do have a non-competitive display area for your projects or for those who prefer to display only. Theme for this year's contest is 'Flashback to the 60's'. Proceeds go to the Children's Wish Foundation.

Chip and I are making our way up from West Virginia again this year. Are the guys selling all the Hobby Design parts vending again this year? I hope so. See you next Sunday Howard.

I don't remember who was selling what last year as I didn't spend a lot of time buying stuff. Okay, I did manage a few bits...like the Revell 1/12th '65 Mustang GT Fastback We do have a few new vendors this year as well but I am on photo duty, so smile See you guys soon, Drive safely.

I heard the Vendors Room is sold out, so I'm saving up my lunch money...and rent...and hydro money..and I never use the home phone anyway...

[Howard Cohen]

Yup, the vendors room is sold out...40 tables Bob, you're going to be too busy working to shop, so pay the 'phone bill. Besides working the raffle and helping Doug M. at the doors, I may put you in charge of supplying everyone with fresh coffee and donuts from Tim Horton's

[peter31a]

I'll have my supply of diet cola, just make sure the donuts are there! See you Sunday.

[Howard Cohen]
