First year at St. David's school in Richmond. What a venue! More space, more economical, and accessible too. What more could you want? Apparently very little, judging by the attendance. Check out the photos!
Announcing the 2008 Bay Area Prototype Modeler's Meet - Saturday, June 28, 2008
BAPM is back by popular demand! Bring your models, finished or, better yet, still in progress! Bring your friends! There is no judging or contest. Instead RPM events provide an opportunity to meet with fellow modelers, discuss tips and learn new techniques, and of course enjoy viewing lots of superb models!
All scales, eras, and roads are welcome!
BRING YOUR MODELS!!
Bring your Friends too!
To keep costs and admission fees lower (just $10 admission), BAPM 2008 is focused on the display and viewing of models.
And there's MORE! - Slideshows and Awesome Raffle Prizes!
We will also feature a slideshow or two featuring local subjects:
SP Peninsula Commute Operations - by Thom Anderson and Mark McLeod
Presentations: (scheduled)
