The Manitoba Hobby Expo is coming soon! Please note that the date has been changed to the first weekend of October. The WMRC will be there in full force! We've rented a record number of tables to sell donated model railroad equipment, with proceeds going to St.Amant. It'll also be a great time to join or renew your membership while you're there. 

Come join all the fun on Saturday, October 3rd and Sunday, October 4 between 9 and 5 at the Red River Exhibition Place, 3977 Portage Avenue. Admission is just twelve bucks, youths between the ages of four and twelve get in for six bucks, and kids under three get in for free!

Rod Foell wins WMRC's Tyro award

Congratulations to Rod Foell, one of our newest members, who won the club's Tyro award for his model of a steam engine with a carriage at a station. Rod is seen being presented the award by WMRC model contest chair Murray Brown. 

The Tyro award is a special presentation given to a member not only for their extraordinary modelling skills, but also because the modeller is a first time recipient of any WMRC modelling award. Given his skills as a modeller we're sure so see many more awards given to him in the future!

It was written by Myron Love (who first wrote an article about the club 40 years ago) and features an interview with WMRC president John Bate. You can get a copy of Lifestyles 55 at your local Winnipeg library and many other outlets, or you can read the article online by clicking here.
