Report from our March 2010 Newsletter
Saturday 16 January 2010
Eltham United Reformed Church
Eltham
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 Optical Illusions Secretary’s Challenge
This Challenge was an idea from Chris Fry. It was to build a model demonstrating an optical illusion. There are plenty of examples, from the impossible buildings of Dutch artist M. C. Escher to the dragon whose eyes follow you round (see Constructor Quarterly issue 83).
