BC RPM Clinic update #2 - three weeks to go!

[Andrew Hutchinson]

Hello all,

Just a reminder that BC RPM is only  3 weeks away. Our fifth annual  meet will again be held in conjunction with
Trains 2012. The meet will be held in Burnaby, BC on Saturday, November 10th,
2012 from 10AM to 4PM. Participants are invited to display their models and
dioramas, share information and learn valuable techniques in an interactive and
non-competitive environment. All SCALES and ALL ROADS are welcome as are
in-progress models. BRING YOUR MODELS!!!
Building on last year's success, the meet will feature an expanded show & tell
segment providing modeller's the opportunity to discuss their techniques and
experiences in a group setting during the lunch hour.

Dang !   Sounds great and I wish I could attend.  Too long a drive from San Diego - not to mention the price of fuel.

Hope your event is a great success ...

I would love to go too... unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to juggle things around to make it.

I did check out the address and, although it didn't pin point the Cameron Centre, by the looks of it I could just go knock on Tim's door and he could tell me where it is...

[PGE_Modeller]

Indeed you could, Mike.  You had better look for the sign though, because the legend on the map shows Timmy's on the East side of North Road when, in fact, it is on the West side.  Cameron Recreation Centre is attached to the Burnaby Public Library identified at pont "A" on the map.

Cheers,
