Cowcatcher Division

Hi all,

At 10AM, Saturday, November 21st, the next meeting of the Cowcatcher Division will be held in room #4 at the Lockheed Martin Recreation Association administration building: 3400 Bryant-Irvin Rd., Ft. Worth, TX 76109.

The theme of this meeting is complete some unfinished kit that’s taking space under the layout. It can be a structure or anything else, but it should be something you already have. Like last time, there will be a prize for the most popular entry. Feel free to bring a friend along.

We’ll also discuss upcoming meetings. Please send me your meeting ideas.

Also, don’t forget next Saturday and Sunday, November 14th and 15th, is the Ft. Worth train show. The show is returning to the Amon Carter Exhibit Hall at 3401 W Lancaster Ave. in Ft. Worth. Like years before, we will have a table to promote the LSR and the Cowcatcher Division. You help manning the table will be greatly appreciated. If you can help out, please drop me a note at chris@railroadmodelers.com

I also need some folks to help out at the Plano Train Show in January. While Division 1 usually mans the table, we need to put on 4 clinics. If you’ve got a clinic up your sleeve, and can help out in January, please let me know.

I hope to see you all on the 21st.

Chris

At 10AM, Saturday, September 12th, the fall 2009 meeting of the Cowcatcher Division will be held in room #1 at the Lockheed Martin Recreation Association administration building: 3400 Bryant-Irvin Rd., Ft. Worth, TX 76109.

I’m slipping the meeting a few weeks to avoid interfering with the Division 3 meetings, the LMRA operating sessions and Labor day.

Rather than have one member present a clinic, Sept. 12th is going to be “Power Day.” Please bring your favorite, most unusual, one of a kind locomotive to the meeting to show the group and talk about. There will be a prize for the most interesting entry.

We’ll also discuss upcoming meetings, and have a recap the June convention.

With school starting, it’s the perfect time of year to nominate a young model railroader for the LSR membership scholarship. This boy or girl must be in our division and show an active interest in the hobby. If you have a child, grandchild or neighbor that you’d like to suggest, let me know, and I’ll put his or her name forward.

It’s also a great time of year to get your friends interested in the hobby and the NMRA. Please feel free to bring them along to the September meeting.

We have a few folks in the Division working on the AP program in order to become a Master Model Railroader. If you have done any AP judging in the past, please let me know so that I can put together a list of potential judges as these folks complete their certificate requirements.

I hope to see you all on the 12th.

Chris
