NOTE: Swap of Matchbox (Ted Taylor) and Busy Lizzie GBs

[JohnRatzenberger]

Please see the Calendar, just updated.

We had already renamed the Matchbox II GB, scheduled for October, as the Ted Taylor Tribute.

Now, with his recent passing, we felt it better to move that GB forward by swapping it with the Busy Lizzie GB.

So, the Ted Taylor Tribute GB, ex-Matchbox II GB, will now be 15 August to 30 September, with 6 weeks to give plenty of time for participation. Martin R will be GBL, perhaps joined by others.

The Busy Lizzie GB, originally a 6-week GB due to holidays, will now be conducted 1-31 October with AndrewR as GBL.

Because of the great significance we attach to the Ted Taylor Tribute GB, we have opened up that forum already to allow chat, remembrances, and for folks to get their threads lined up.

Many thanks, John. Ted was a much-loved and respected modeler of very long standing and I am sure many here have been influenced in some way by his build sin Scale Models and other magazines back in the seventies and eighties. I would like to invite anyone who feels sad at Ted's passing to join the GB in tribute to our friend and fellow UAMF member.

That's a really good idea, John. Well done.
