CL/FF EVENT SANCTION COORDINATOR
AMA Headquarters, Competitions Department; (800) 435-9262, Ext. 252; cpierce@modelaircraft.org
On February 10, 2024, I attended the annual Atoms RC’ers Swap Meet and Auction at the Hillsborough Town Complex in Hillsborough, New Jersey. I have been fortunate enough to attend all but one of the Atoms swap meet events. Not only do I always have a great time, but I have always learned a few new things, have seen some great ideas, and caught up with many friends.
With my good friend and video blogger, Adam Lilley.
Auction time!
Like so many others, the Atoms event has always been a mecca for regional modelers to not only buy and sell, but to also share aeromodeling stories and experiences. The fancy name for this is networking. Simply put, it’s an opportunity for modelers to connect with modelers, create new friendships, and renew old ones!
Interesting colors.
Joe Flood gets ready for the swap meet.
The “Glue Guy,” Lewis Schwab.
Be they small or large, the clubs that have these events realize the importance, not only for themselves but for aeromodeling in their region. If you’d like information or ideas about how to host these events, please drop me a line.
Remember, it’s not about what you fly, it’s about the friends you make.
