Greetings to Members and Friends of MFHB! As you know, at 7.00 pm on Wednesday 21 August, we are having a monster plane and model auction at the National Service Club to raise funds to rebuild the Deans’ Shelter. If you have anything in the rafters gathering dust that you want to donate to the cause and want it to go to a good home, hit me up or contact Barrie Russell. We need to know by the end of this week so we can put it on the list of auction stuff. It’s going to be a good one, so donate generously and then bid vigorously. This is our one auction for the year so let’s make it a good one. Pres. Marty.
The deadline for Model Flying World September edition is Friday 23rd August you're going to put an article in the magazine, please inform Murray (editor@mfnz.org) as soon as possible and he'll book you space in the layoutIf you want the magazine on time, please send your articles on time!RegardsPaul CleggAdministrator, Model Flying NZemail: admin@mfnz.orgphone: 021 986 566
