This was one of our informal quarterly meetings where our members showed off their latest Meccano creations.
At around 2:00pm we had a short committee meeting, followed by the Model Tour in which members were invited to give a short talk about their models — in particular their entries for the Secretary’s Challenge!
The Big 3–0 Secretary’s Challenge
This Challenge was to build a model using parts that contain the numbers 3 or 0. For example, members could use as many 3½” perforated strips (part № 3) as they liked, fishplates (10), 2” pulleys (20a), spring clips (35) etc. Luckily they could also use regular nuts, bolts and washers — but none of the long bolts.
