Okay we are up to three confirmed by the poll. There needs to be five more to have any chance of bringing this to fruition.

GB Procedures.

General
-- The GBC may make exceptions to guidelines for special circumstances, complex subjects, commemorative events, etc.

-- There is no limit on the total number of concurrent GBs (BB, SB do not count), but no more than 3 aircraft specific GBs may run concurrently, regardless of the total.
-- Non-aircraft or mixed GBs are encouraged, 2-3 per year; the GBC will provide "encouragement" as necessary.

-- GBs may be proposed to start anytime within the current calendar year, but not more than 6 months out if in the next calendar year.
-- SKGB and SSGB of the same or similar kit/subject may not start within 36 months of a previous completion; for AOGB this is 24 months.

-- All GB's must have at least six (6) confirmed and active participants to calendar, conduct, and continue. Undersubscribed GB are good SB candidates.

Just to make it clear, you are saying it's time to request this be put on the calendar?

I opted for March April although I can be flexible. Got plenty of Spitfires ready and waiting.

We are now on the 2018 draft calendar for 28 April 17 to 3 June 17. I will be building a Canadair Argonaut C4 in BOAC colors.

I might add a couple of Spitfires after building my Argonaut C4. I know I will have build my Eduard Spitfire Mk.IX quarto in 1/72 by then. However, I could hold off my Eduard 'Aussie Eight' combo in 1/72, Eduard Spitfire Mk.XVI combo in 1/72, Revell Spitfire Mk.II or my 1/72 Airfix Spitfire Mk.Va. Which Spitfire might be among your choice?

I will build my Tamiya Mosquito in 72nd scale. I may start a bit early just to ensure it is done on time by the guild's completion time frame. I'm looking forward to my first group build of a model as a member of the forum.

Isn't that a bit odd? Those dates weren't even an option in the date poll.
