Miniatures Club decisively beat Bentley School at the annual Aerodrome Tournament. This year it was at Hiller Aviation. This venue is probable for next year but without the lecture going on simultaneously. Special thanks to Katharyn Roberts for running a table, to Matt Gilbert for making the trek to help, to Steven, Katie, and Justin for their support and help as monitors.
