ScaleACT

A Special Message: ScaleACT & COVID-19

As ScaleACT-20 is not until the end of the year – 14th & 15th November – the ACTSMS has the luxury of time to monitor how the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation develops, and whether or not we can go ahead with the show.

The ACTSMS Committee has decided that we will make a ‘go/’no go’ decision in mid-August. Depending upon the situation, we may run the event as a two day event as usual, a reduced one day event, delay a couple of weeks, or cancel entirely. Our primary concern is the health and safety of our members and guests, and we will be complying with any official health directives as appropriate.

If you have any questions or comments about ScaleACT-20, please contact us via our email address actsms@hotmail.com

Thank you for your continuing interest in our show, and with luck we’ll see you as planned in November!

All the best, please stay safe and healthy, and enjoy the opportunity for modelling!

The ScaleACT-20 organising committee.

Until then – here is some information from previous ScaleACT’s to keep you busy!

Special RAAF award for Junior modellers
The RAAF Association (ACT Branch) is offering a special juniors (<13yrs) award. If a junior enters a model of an RAAF subject, they will be in the running for a special prize (one prize only will be available, and the choice of the winner will be made by our special guest RAAF Association judge).
If no juniors enter an appropriate RAAF model, the prize will instead become part of the “Best RAAF Model in Show”.
