MAFVA

Diary:  Please may we have more updates for 2010and anything coming through for 2011 

See latest Cambridge Branch Newsletter.  Next meeting is 7^th September – ‘Nosh Nite’ social evening

It is that time of the year to get rid of that loft insulation and bring your unwanted kits to the MAFVA Bring and Buy at the Nationals. 

Do you have old un-wanted and unloved kits cluttering up your loft/garage/study/spare room/wardrobe?

Want to turn them into cash for new kits? 

Then bring them to Duxford on 6 June 2010 and let MAFVA sell them for you. Two tables at the show have been set aside so that members can sell their unwanted kits. Just drop them off and let us do the selling. Call back at the end of the show and pick up any un-sold kits and your cash. No photographs to take, no wrapping and packing or trips to the post office to sell them via E Bay. Let MAFVA do the hard work. Just drop them off and then once you are ready to leave, come back and pocket the cash. MAFVA will deduct 10% of the value of the sold items and that will go towards helping to fund the show – so not only are you helping yourself, you are also helping the Association. Contact by E mail tom.cole@twmsystems.co.uk for an application form and more details.

If interested please see attached information sheet and return completed Form to me ASAP. Please be aware that I will only be able to take kits on the day if you have completed and returned the Form to me before the 22 May. Grateful if you would distribute amongst your branch as you see fit.

Thanks and see you in June.

CHANGES TO MAFVA ANNUAL COMPETITIONS - 

The Annual MAFVA UK National Competitions for 2010 will be at the Imperial War Museum Duxford on June 6.  This year will see an experimental change to an open style of competition with gold, silver and bronze awards.  This means there can be any number (or none) of these in any competition class at the judges’ discretion.  Please note there will still be categories for MAFVA members only, and for modellers who are non-members.  The entry rules and competition classes will remain the same.   A list of model definitions is now available to ensure that entrants place their models in the correct class. This will enable competition entrants to check eligibility and avoid disqualification for incorrect entry.  Competition entrants will be given a ticket to accompany their models allowing a brief description of work done.  This will assist the judges in assessing the work.  Entry slips will be available shortly to be downloaded from the website. These can be completed in advance and brought in with the models on the day of the competition.

Northern Home Counties Branch
The current South Herts Branch has become aware that some members who live relatively close in terms of travelling distance have not attended meetings because the name of the branch suggests a very close catchment area. In reality, the branch already has some members travelling from far afield, and we need to emphasise that the Herts branch covers a wide sweep including north London boroughs, Bucks, Milton Keynes, Luton and so on. For this reason we have changed to a more generic branch name.
