EventsTo celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Society for Scale Modellers a dinner was organised at the Corinthia Hotel in Balzan on the actual day of the formation of the Society - 15th January. Great food, great time, great venue and above all great company!
The 25th anniversary of EuroMiltaire was held at The Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone, Kent U.K. between the 18th and 19th September. Seven members from the Society for Scale Modellers - IPMS Malta attended and participated in the event. The members were Harold Stivala, Ivan Cocker, Matthew Mifsud, Ray Caruana, Ray Farrugia, Stephen Mallia and Tancred Cassar. This year there was a record number of models (over a thousand) entered in the competition which was as tough as ever since the standard in scale modelling has increased exponentially over the past few years. Nonetheless a total of 21 awards were won by the Maltese contingent and for the models sent by proxy. It was another great achievement by the members of the Society for Scale Modellers.
On the 4th September was the 8th and final lecture of the SSM Scale Model Summer School organised for kids. Most of the students managed to finish their model on time and most importantly they enjoyed doing it and learning new skills. Considering that for most of them this was their first modelling experience they managed to build very good models with the guidance of David, Joseph and Mark. A big well done to all.
