Eastside Get Together Clinic – Redmond

by Alex Brikoff

Doors Open at 7:00 PM and Meeting starts promptly at 7:15 PM at:
The Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center
16600 NE 80th Street, Redmond, WA 98052

 

The 2017 – 2018 Eastside Get Together Clinic season starts September 21, 2017. We will briefly recap what we did railroad wise over the summer including reports on the National Narrow-Gauge Convention that just concluded in Denver, as well as the Regional and National Conventions held earlier this summer. We will also have our Model of the Month and Rail Photo of the Month contests.  The Photo category this month will Prototype – Color.  So, bring your best models and photos for the contests!

 

Our clinic this month will be “The Art of Deception” given by David Yadock.  David is an outstanding modeler and 4th Division MMR, so I’m sure that his clinic will be top notch.  The clinic will have lots of ideas for how to make those problem areas on our layouts appear seamless and look like they really do belong there.

 

We’ll also have refreshments and snacks along with, possibly, some great door prizes.

 

Meetings are the third Thursday of each month, September to June. Doors open at 7:00 PM and the program will start at 7:15 PM.

Message to…

by Al Turnbull

First and most importantly – We hope all is well with you, your family and friends, and our thoughts and support go out to those impacted by the recent events.

The computer is (hopefully) fixed, software loaded (again) and I found a few of those emails I seem to have misplaced.

So down to business.

The clinics and local meetings are now in full swing.  I hope you will be able to get out to these and enjoy the camaraderie, maybe learn a couple of new tricks and use the opportunity for sharing your expertise with others.
My hope is that this will continue to be an informative forum and a source for the 4th Division members (present and future) to turn to and a way we can keep abreast of the happenings around the area.  I am looking forward to your support for providing news, articles and features to be included here.

So if you have ideas, articles or events scheduled forward them on to me.
As Russ stated send them to aeturnbull@outlook.com .

We’ll also be working at getting the rest of the website modified, updating the links and bringing the calendar up to date.  I’ll be reaching out to the various groups to get the information for events.  If you note any errors or discrepancies please let me know.

Thanks again to all who have welcomed me as the new editor for the Grab Iron.  Take care and please keep in touch.
