1 EXPO 2017 ISSUE - PART 1 OCTOBER 2017 All photographs and articles published remain the copyright property of SMSC unless released. This Special Issue is so big that we had to be divide it into 2 parts. It is to pay homage to the various models exhibited at our fifth Expo, we will show all maritime related models exhibited by SMSC Members of which we have photographs on record. We hope that it is enjoyable reading.

2 VOTE OF THANKS This year we have again received support from various sponsors whose combined generous assistance has ensured the success of our EXPO. We wish to thank each of them for their assistance and encouragement: The Australian National Maritime Museum have assisted us from the inception of the Club by providing us with facilities to have our meetings when required, but more particularly their continued assistance for another year in sponsoring our EXPO is greatly appreciated. Some of our Members volunteer to demonstrate modelling on the Ramp in the Museum and we hope to continue our close ties with the Museum into the future. We again welcome the good folks from Bergs Hobbies of Parramatta as our sponsors. To Peter Berg and his staff, we sincerely thank you for your support and we hope that the relationship that has now been established continues into the future Ever since the time of the establishment of the Club we have received valuable and steadfast assistance from Gary Renshaw and Modellers Central. We greatly appreciate such continued support. Last, but not least, we have to thank the Organising Committee who have worked tiredlessly to put on the EXPO. Those who have not been involved in organising this event will never appreciate the dedication, time and effort that is needed to put on such a show, organising venue and exhibitors, liaising with other Clubs and making sure that the members of the public become aware of the event. Our thanks go to Anelia and Michael Bennett who laboured for long hours and have dedicated and expended incredible hours to ensure the success of EXPO 2017, greatly assisted by Harry Goedings who co-ordinated the committee and Alan Bideleux who spent many hours in putting on the show
