Well, the show at the Roanoke Civic Center was a success; RVIPMS reported approximately 350 entries were on the tables such that several categories had to be split.  Particularly impressive was the number (and quality) of the Junior entries.  The IPMS/Tidewater folks once again took the Shootout award with the most points garnered, including Best Aircraft.  Lots of excellent work was on hand, some of which can be seen in the Members Gallery.  Overall, a well run event just perfect as a one day show.  Next year, there will be no Shootout as RVIPMS is running the 2-day Regional Convention.  From the May RVIPMS newsletter, these details:
