December 10 Meeting/Dinner/Contest/Raffle Postponed

Due to the inclement weather, tomorrow night's holiday meeting, dinner, contest, and raffle are postponed until our January 14, 2019 meeting when we will "Welcome the New Year." Everything planned for tomorrow night will be held at our January meeting. We hope everyone has a very happy and safe Holiday Season!

And the Kits Begin to Roll-in!

Yes, the 2019 ODO raffle is shaping-up to the the best ever! Take a look at the kits donated by Bluefin in the pic below--Thank You!

As you've no doubt noticed, the ODO has once again increased the number of categories and special awards for the upcoming February 23, 2019 contest and show! Given the chance of inclement winter weather, we are always striving to balance a thorough and quality judging job against the need for getting our patrons back on the road for a safe trip home.

We are extremely fortunate to have a corps of judges who return year after year to assist us with judging. However, we are always searching for more modelers to help us in this effort. If you are planning on attending our 2019 show, please consider lending a hand with judging. If you usually help us by judging, why don't you bring a friend to help, too? If you've never judged before, why not take this opportunity to see what it's all about? 

We wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season, and we'll see you on February 23rd!

OLD DOMINION OPEN Vendor Update

As of November 15th, we have SOLD OUT of vendor tables in our Main Hall. That is 121 tables which will be chocked full of models, paints, decals, tools, books, and anything else you might need for your next model project. If you have not reserved your tables for the February 23, 2019 ODO show, we might have additional space available depending on how many tables are rented.

Download the "Waiting List" vendor form  from the link below and send that to Bob Walls. We have room for an additional 50 tables if there is demand. If you have thought about selling off your collection or have models which you no longer need, this is a great venue for getting those models into the hands of people who will appreciate them and build them. And you can view the 600 models on display or even enter your own models to win one of our unique Awards. 

Please pass this information onto your fellow modelers and friends. - Bob Walls
