Next Meeting is Monday, Nov. 18th, Model Pledge Contest

        Don't forget the October Model Pledge Contest for 2024

September 1, 2024   

We had about 36 members attend the September meeting. The Theme was "Open". The models were fantastic, see the pictures under Galleries. 

The passing of a founding member of the Pelikan Club Charlie Hess was observed, the club donated some funds to his wife to help her out and flowers were sent, he will be missed. Rest in Peace, my friend!  

The club met at the new venue at September's meeting, we agreed to try the new location at Pinellas Gulf Coast Academy around the corner from the Funeral Home. We took a vote, and most members thought it was a better place to meet. There was much more room and the acoustics were a great improvement. It was also commented that the chairs were very comfy. The club voted and we will be meeting there in the future. 

We have 3 weeks remaining before the 26 members who signed up for the Model Contest Pledge Build for 2024 have those models completed for October's Club Contest, so get those projects finished folks!! If you signed up and can't make the Pledged Model October deadline, you can bring your latest new build to the contest to be judged. We will have a judged contest properly and cash awards will be issued.  

The Revised Theme awards system. The new system seemed to go well. Frank Stansell won 1st place with his for 6 points, Greg Renn got 2nd place for his Devastator 4 points and John Tzortzakakis won 3rd place for his F4 Phantom for 2 points. Everyone else who brought in a model got one point for participating. Check out the club Photo Gallery for pics. 

The way it works: Everyone who brings a model to the meeting for the Monthly Theme goes to Paula first and gets a numbered chit to place with your model. Non-theme models check in with her too so she can log in a point for bringing in a model. Everyone bringing in a model will get at least 1 point. Cosmetically nothing will change, we will still vote the same as we always have done and there will be a monthly winner but additionally, 1st place will get 6 points, 2nd will get 4 points, 3rd will get 2 points and anyone bringing a model to the meeting will get 1 point. In November the total points will be added up awarding 1st, 2nd & 3rd Cash Awards.
