National Director

It's been quiet, except for a couple of Chapter Liaison enquiries.


Due to personal demands, Jean Gratton stepped down as the RT
Co-Editor and Chapter Liaison Rep.  Jamie expressed his gratitude for the hard work Jean had done for IPMS Canada over the years, and we hope that Jean will be able to come to the Executive again when conditions permit.

We were approached by IPMS London for a sponsorship of their upcoming contest, and this was thought to be a good thing.  The Treasurer will cut a cheque and send it out to this fine group.

The Editor of the UK's Model Aircraft Monthly magazine needs a copy of our current advert for publication in that magazine.

A number of renewal card comments were read out and some will be posted on the IPMS Canada website.

IPMS Edmonton approached us for sponsorship of their contest and this too was thought to be a good thing.

Sid announced that we have articles coming on the Tutor.

At the time of writing there is a comfortable stock of articles on hand, but members are always invited to add to that pile.

To help define the end of an RT article, Sid will now putting a device like a maple leaf or something similar to help readers know when they've reached the end of a piece.

RT 29/5 is planned for an end-Sept delivery date.
