The reinauguration of our club HQ happened on the last Saturday of March. Your editor couldn't make it, but the gang was there. The reason for the special meeting was the end of the overhaul we did in the facilities of the club, now with much better resources and workbenches:



The guys brought their latest models:













And since it was a special occasion, there was snacks to everybody, for free:



Family time for some. Here is Lenon, his boy and wife...



... and thoghtful time for others. I don't know what made Alex stare so seriously to those models...



The meeting started early in the afternoon and went all the way until evening.



 
The guys from Caxias do Sul came and presented the club with a wonderful painting of a Spitfire. Here is Blanco receiving the gift (center), Copat (left) and Basso. A bit thank you guys!!!
