ACME Meeting - January 2007

Back Home

The January meeting took place on Sunday, January 7th with 18 members in attendance. Our agenda included a review of upcoming events such as car shows, model car shows, determining "How-to" demonstrations for future meetings, bench racing and "show and tell". We welcomed our newest member - Winston Mitchell, Winston builds some of the most incredible custom cars you will ever see as shown below. Unfortunately, the pictures do not do the car justice. You need to come and see these in person.

                        

We spent much of the meeting discussing the "how to" seminars we will hold at each meeting. The list of requested demonstrations includes:
