It may be strange to you of whom I am and how I got your contact. However, I am Mr Edward Hamson a citizen of republic of Sierra- Leone. Also I am the accountant general / treasurer of the then republic of Sierra- Leone I am 43 years old of age and happily married. I got your contact through a reliable and a confident source with pleasant motives which I shall reveal to you as soon as you are interested to know. As you must have heard about my country (Sierra-Leone) and the serious suffering for humanity and the national unrest killing and hostility in the hands of the rebels this event have caused much more death and destruction of properties in the country. As a matter of fact my people have become emergency refugees in other Africa countries. Consequently I am badly affected because the rebels needed my assistance and co-operation by releasing the national treasury department to them which I Strictly refused their entry. Therefore out of my four children two was kidnapped including my father and they were eventually killed by the rebels. Further more, all my investments and other asst were burst to pieces. Even my life and my wife and rest of my family are in danger. But it was not only me in the government facing this hard time, all top the government official were also maltreated after all these, I patiently continued but I now see it necessary to quit Africa with my family since the trouble never make any step of reconciliation and Africa continent is very unreliable now as there’s political and ethnic war in every part. Presently, I am taking refugee with my family in Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire under the United Nations refugee umbrella. Unfortunately Côte d’Ivoire is Having political unrest and many equally burst to pieces soonest, so I am tired and sincerely need your support and assurance to invest wisely and relocate to your country through your productive ideas and qualities. I have $18.5 million US dollar to be invested in your country though your support and this existing amount is right safe and presently not in SIERRA LEONE but lodge in the custody of a security and finance company some where around west Africa region which I may disclosed to you as soon as I receive your complacence. I would be contented to have your private contact for security reasons and I am very optimistic to release a reasonable percentage of this amount to you for your assistance. I anticipate your speedy response remain. Please kindly contact me immediately you receive this message through my telephone number or my electronic box .

So yes, all you have to do is register at the front gate (you'll need complete ID, vehicle registration, submit to a thorough vehicle search upon entering) but other than that, it's open. Not sure of the dates but it is seasonal, say April through October. If you plan on a trip this way give me a shout and I'll set it up for you.

Some are a set amount per month/year ect. Some are (like ours) a pass the hat type. Every club that has a news letter charges a set amount that covers basic printing costs. The only free clubs I have belonged to are the ones that have not been IPMS chartered. We pay the 19.00 a year to IPMS for the national membership, and then we have the local dues plus News Letter subscription..

I pay $25/yr to be a member of my plastics club and $85/yr for membership in the RC club. I've been in a lot of clubs but don't think I've ever been in one where I didn't have to pay money to join. It sounds like your expenses are pretty moderate. Do you really think that guys would balk at the thought of paying $10/yr to be able to hang out with you (grin)?

I belong to two clubs. One - Brisbane Scale Modellers - charges A$25 per year membership (discounted for juniors and pensioners) but pays something like A$40 per month to use the school facilities. They now also charge members "a gold coin" to enter the bimonthly competition The other - Riverside Scale Model Club - charges A$15 for membership, but meets in a local church community centre for *nothing*. We give the centre a donation of A$100 each year but don't have to. Needless to say, the former club has lately had problems making ends meet despite being twice as large, virtually all due to the cost of the venue. >Anyway, do any of the IPMS clubs that you belong to charge >dues or voluntary dues? Has anyone ever experienced moving from a free >club >to a dues-paying club? I've never experienced a free club - though to be sure, it's possible to attend either of my clubs for months on end without anyone asking whether you're a paid up member. >Of course, we are considering other means to raise funds too; e.g. >modelling >shows, raffles (we already have that), kit auction and so on. BSM was (at one time) *very* well off, due to a series of kit auctions. They catalogue, promote and conduct the auctions for 10% of the take Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately ;-) the number of deceased estates is down, the other clubs in town also run an occassional auction, and swap meets have eaten into the market, so BSM's cash flow is now a bit restricted. Bear in mind that there are a LOT of clubs in Brisbane, and you may not have these restrictions Shane _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2002 00:26:02 +0200 (CEST) From: knut.erik.hagen@login-3.eunet.no (Knut Erik Hagen) To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: German WW1 decals from FCM of Brasil Message-ID: <20020912222602.EC20F347A9@login-3.eunet.no> Hei, Just found this one listed as to be released from FCM of Brasil: http://intermega.globo.com/fcm/ww1_48-01.htm Eders Knut Erik ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 18:38:04 -0400 From: "Mike Muth" To: Subject: Roden Message-ID: <02b201c25aad$0f9ec2a0$bcd2bacc@ptdprolog.net> Neat...they show the falcon on Linke-Crawford's as red.

This mainly covers the cost of the quarterly magazine and the newsletter. For our monthly meetings members pay $2 each although visitors are free. This goes towards both the cost of the venue (about $50 a month) and also the rising cost of public liability - in case you faint at seeing some members actually FINISHING something and hurt yourself. For me, the benefits of being in a club are worth the money.

Many have meeting rooms which can be scheduled on a monthly basis for no charge. Before I lost interest in the local club here, they had annual dues which were something like $10-$12. The collected dues helped buy raffle kits for club meetings, and also helped re-imburse the editor (me) of the monthly newsletter for supplies and postage costs. This also fed the kitty to buy trophy packages for other chapter's Regionals and the National.
