The Club Auction was held after the meeting on March, 19th. Although several items were sold, quite a few went back home. Next year let’s try to get more of the new guy’s to come, as most of the good stuff, would have been perfect for newbie's. The club would like to extend a big thank you to Les Haley III of H&H Hobbies for bringing several new models and some fuel to auction off. All of these were first rate kits Thank you Les
