Regular Meetings

The society conducts monthly meetings, alternating between Virginia and Maryland locations. Meetings are open to visitors. The meeting format consists of brief society business, informal discussions of members' model projects and a program or presentation relating to a nautical or ship modeling topic. Meeting topics may include technique demonstrations, discussions of particular vessels or vessel types, and other subjects of general interest to the club. Members are also invited to bring their own projects, whether in-progress or complete, to share with other members. They are also encouraged to talk about modeling problems they are encountering. Often, a discussion with other members will identify a solution to these problems.   

Here are some photos from the November 2010 meeting.

January 2012 Meeting

The January 13, 2012, meeting will be at the Hollin Hall Senior Center at 10 a.m. The center is located at 1500 Shenandoah Road, Alexandria, VA 22308. The meeting will be in either room 213 or 217.

Special-Interest Group Meetings

The special-interest group meets last Saturday of the month in a member's home. Discussions of models, modeling techniques, research, and reference material are always lively, with virtually everyone taking home some new ideas to use on their own models. Meeting locations change from month to month, and are generally published in the club's monthly newsletter, the Lynx.

Volunteers are needed to host the January and February meetings. Please contact a bridge officer if you're able to host. Watch this space for location of the November special-interest meeting.

(If you are a WSMS member and don't have your user name and password, please e-mail one of the bridge officers to get them.)
