The following is a joint announcement from the San Marcos 2020 Convention Leadership team and the IPMS USA Executive Board.

We jointly appreciate all the feedback we received regarding this year‘s convention. We’ve taken your comments and concerns into careful consideration, while maintaining an ongoing dialogue and negotiation with the Embassy Suites convention center in San Marcos. These negotiations have been proceeding carefully due to the significant financial exposure that IPMS would be subject to if we simply decided to cancel the convention unilaterally.

It is with great disapointment that the IPMS Reno, "High Rollers",  today must announce the cancellation of our 21st show scheduled for October 3rd, 2020.  We are planning on going forward with a show in 2021 and will make announcements on this in the near future.  Should you have any questions please email our chapter contact:

Thye Event has been canceled.  It will be rescheduled to take place in 2022.

The March 2020 Executive Board Meeting Minutes have been posted.

The convention team is still moving forward with planning for the 2020 convention. While we are well aware of all the social distancing and quarantine policies in place around the country these are temporary in nature and we are continuing with the assumption that by late July these will be restrictions will be lifted. The planning team will continue to track this issue closely.

We would like to announce a new scale modeling themed podcast, "Plastic Model Mojo".

Plastic Model Mojo is hosted by IPMS members Michael Baskette and David Knights, and is published roughly bi-weekly. Launched in January of 2020, Plastic Model Mojo has published eight episodes. For a current list of listening options and social media outlets, please visit the www.plasticmodelmojo.com.

The January 2020 Executive Board Meeting Minutes have been posted.

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and due to the fact that all community buildings are closed in Monticello, Iowa until April 16, the Alexander Lippisch Chapter IPMS/USA has decided to cancel Fleacon 16 for this year.

Sorry,  but because of the Latest Virus Updates. We must Cancel our Event for March 21. 

Hopefully we will have this again at the same time next year. Thank you for your understanding and Support
