Woolpack Meeting - 3rd Tuesday Monthly

Friends of the Helicopter Museum

  

The 'Woolpack' meeting was originally established as a regular get-together for local members of the "Friends of the Helicopter Museum" - many of whom were also either volunteers at the Museum and/or model club members.  As well as chatting about the Museum, we spent progressively more time discussing general subjects but often they were club-related.  These days it has just become an extension of the club meeting on the 2nd Tuesday, but without any of the formality (such as it is).

Sunday Meetings

Modeller's hard at work at the February 2019 meeting

Despite the cold weather, modelers were well insulated at the Helicopter Museum and lots of great progress was made. Why not come and join us on a Sunday morning.

Lots of great work at the January 2020 meeting

Modeller's hard at work on a cold Sunday morning but well supplied with hot drinks from "Bob's" Cafe. See this page for details of our meetings during 2020.

Charity Donations

RSPCA & MIND

A member of the North Somerset Modellers, Phil Hollinshead, passed away recently and his wife ask the club if we could dispose of his models and tools on her behalf. 


This we did and raised some money which the club topped up to £100.00, the money was to go to the RSPCA and MIND charities, £50.00 to each. 


As the club is affiliated to the Helicopter Museum it was arranged for the cheques to be presented there, with Anne Simon for MIND and Rita Hinton for the RSPCA to receive the cheques..

Club Day Trip to the Submarine Museum

Arrival at the Museum

HMS Alliance

We first visited HMS Alliance, Andy Trewins old boat, one of the pictures shows Andy in his actual bunk, Andy gave us a very interesting guided tour.

Explosives Museum

 After visiting the rest of the museum it was decided to have some lunch, Terry suggested The Star, a Wetherspoons in Gosport High Street, after which we then visited the Explosives Museum, it covered all forms of Naval Armament history, the photo shows some naval guns at the entrance

Andy Trewin's Model Model Show

Displayed in a small Ferrero Rocher box 140mm x 65mm x 75mm, the 6’ x 2’ table is 3D printed to scale with two layers of tissue paper wet with 50/50 mix of Mod Podge Matt and water. Because the last person to pack the club office didn’t fold the cloth right it’s got wrinkles – you can blame them!


Club banner along front of the table is screen printed from a photo, reduced to the right size and printed on a colour laser.
