Monthly Club Competition

Every month throughout the year, except April (AGM) and December (Christmas) the club holds a competition with points awarded for the modeller of the year. Monthly subjects are listed at the bottom of this page.

A new club trophy has been designed and after much deliberation it was decided that it should be known as the "Alan Hall Trophy" in honour of one of the founders of the club, who now resides in Malta. Alan is well known for his many years in the modelling world and still publishes the popular Warpaint series.

Each month a different subject class will be judged, and the modeller getting the most points at the April AGM will be presented with the Alan Hall Trophy to keep for the coming year and a miniature to keep forever.

Club Competition Rules

The rules are very simple:

1. Only one model per member per month.

2. Judging will be by ballot of all members present

3. Models must not have been entered into any previous club competition

4. Entries can be anything to do with the subject area

Points will be awarded as follows:

5 points = entering the competition

3 points = winning entry

2 point = second place

1 point = third place

This is done to encourage more members to enter. It means that the more prolific modellers will win over those who only enter occasionally.

In the event of a tie for first place at the end of each year, then the winner will be decided on the number of first, second and third places each had obtained throughout the year.
