Official IPMS Paper Chapter discussion

[piginapoke]

Paper Events or info about known paper displays/exhibits (such as an upcoming Victoria and Albert exhibition coming later this year (?) in London) would be good too.

What is the advantage of being a part of IPMS?

[cgutzmer]

for anyone selling models - a wider audience.

For anyone building - more people to meet and share building talk with

To maintain a charter, I believe you have to have five members belonging to the national organization. In addition, all officers of the chartered club must be members of the national organization.

For contests: The ONLY contest IPMS mandates membership to compete is in the national convention. Regional conventions and local contest do not require IPMS membership to compete (although it is highly recommended).

Yes Tristate scale modelers (TSSM) still exists and meets the second Tuesday evening of each month at the Hagerstown YMCA. I will pm you a contact for them. I am not sure if they are currently affiliated with IPMS as their membership dropped significantly around 2012 due to previous change of venue.
