Wrightreat 2021

 

With Covid19 restrictions in place, we are still a go for Wrightreat 2021. Six-foot social distancing is a requirement so the event will be limited on attendance.  So please contact me if you would like to attend. Masks must be worn when not in your building space.  

Wrighttreat has now become an annual event where like-minded modelers come together and build, talk and share modeling techniques. We have reserved the Phantom - Sabre room at the Hope Hotel for the retreat.  The event is simple, bring along a model or models to work on and some building tools.  Don't worry if you forget something, someone should be able to help you out. The room will open 0900ish Friday morning and we will roll right through until Sunday afternoon. Each evening, we typically lock the room up around 1100 pm and start up again at 0800 the next morning. If you suffer from insomnia, we can make an arrangement to stay and build through the night.  Feel free to stay for a day, two or all three if you are able to. :-) 

Additionally, If you have some models or modeling items to sell, please feel free to bring those items along as well.    The event costs $10 for the weekend to help offset the costs of renting the room for the weekend.

Please the WFSM Wrighttreat website for more information.  If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask via my email.  wrighttreat@ipmsdayton.com
