Showcasing the modelling skills and interests of the MoB’s members and raising funds to help Make-A-Wish. There’ll be:
-
- Models galore, and the modellers who built them to talk to, and
- Vendors selling kits, bits and books.
The MoB is proud to support Make-A-Wish Australia (our fundraising Authority Number: 032310)
For over ten years MoB members have raised funds for Make-A-Wish Australia. As Ballarat’s largest corporate fundraiser for Make-A-Wish our band of merry modellers has raised well over the $10,000 mark through our annual Scale Model Exhibition and Swap ‘n’ Sell show.
Annual Show Date set for 2017
At our meeting last night we set the date for 2017’s Scale Model Exhibition & Swap ‘n’ Sell Annual Model Show. Originally we had planned to hold the show in late April. With a conflicting Melbourne show however, we would have struggled. Rather than struggle, we have shuffled the deck again and chosen Sunday the 6th of August for the show. This will allow us the time to get through all the work required to make the show happen; a lot of steps are involved and there are many dependencies involved.
We have a site chosen and it was available for the late April show. We need to see if we can swing the venue to the date, which should be completed this week. There’ll be more information coming during the month of February as we get through the process.

Annual Show Photos
I’ve just put up some photos from the 2012 MoB show. You can find that page directly by clicking the link : Link to 2012 show photos.
As always you can get there by choosing Image Galleries on the main menu, choosing Annual shows and then choosing the year.
We are however missing many years. So if you have photos from a previous show would you let me know at the next club meeting. I can have a USB key ready for you take home and fill up with all those lovely electrons. I get a tingle just thinking about free electrons.
Concerning? Yup.
Talk to you later on.
