CAPE COD SHOW CANCELLED !!!! Sept.23

[Steve D.]

I attended a meeting on Aug 7th and at that point the show was still on . I know at that time there was some concern about the lack of class sponsors and also there had not been much response from the vendors . I had no idea the show was in critical condition . As with most clubs the work setting up a show is usually done by only a couple of people . And I think they finally said "enough"

I feel bad as I usually only go to two meetings a year , the Christmas party , and one meeting a couple of months before the show . I work on the 3-11 shift , so have to take a day off to go to the meetings . My regular days off are Friday and Saturday . I live "off Cape" and drive alittle over an hour to make the meetings . I know to some people this is nothing , but I'm lucky as there are 3 of 4 club within an hours drive . This is one show I really enjoyed , as a matter of fact , the reason I joined this club , was so that I could be involved in the show !

As for the future of a Cape Cod Show I'm not sure . There was a member who moved away , and since there has been a large hole that no one has stepped up to fill . And that has left a few of the guys to do all the work . Don't get me wrong , on the day of the show there are tons of volenteers . A funny thing about this club is the fact that although there are a bunch of excellent builders only a couple are what you would call competitive builders .(modelers that travel around New England to the various shows.) So hopefully after a year off we can all pull together and get our show back on track . Eight more years till early retirement and model building Bliss .

Take care and see you around the clubhouse ,
