Anyone is invited to attend a meeting of our club. Meetings are held on the 2nd Sunday of each month at 6:00pm. The meetings are usually held in the Ohio Division of Aviation Building at 2829 W. Dublin Granville Road, directly behind the Beightler Army National Guard building.
Membership for our chapter is $12.00 per year, $15.00 per year for a family membership, and $7.00 per year for a Junior membership. Although many of our members are also IPMS USA Nationals member, it is not required.
At all meetings we have a contest, with every month having a theme. If you do not feel like entering the theme contest, there is a open contest each month as well. Some contests are judged and others voted. So, if you have ever felt like learning how to judge, from some of the best in the business, come and try your hand.
Also on certain months we have a raffle, where great prizes can be won, and in October we have a kit raffle where amazing amounts of plastic, etched brass and resin exchange hands for very little money, only to come back next year.

Two awards result from our monthly meetings, Modeler of the year and Model of the year
Our Modeler of the year is chosen by points scored at our monthly contests. Each model entered into the contest earns a point. Each model entered into a themed contest earns a additional point. The winner gets three extra points, second place two points and third gets one. The winner is announced at our annual invitational contest, BlizzardCon in February.
Our Model of the year is the winning model from the December contest, the Best of each of the monthly winners. The Winner of the December 2008 contest, and the Model of the Year for 2009 is Bob Jones's Okinawa Sherman.
