Dear Major Macsporran,

Thank you for your generous offer which I will unfortunately have to decline.
While the club magazine sounds like a riveting read I’m afraid the rest of the “benefits” may not go down well with swmbo.
I’m afraid my work bench may not look so tidy after she has finished flaying me alive across it should I indulge in the full club activities.
I trust you will understand and I wish you well with your club.

Yours sincerely etc.
 
I’ve just had a tidy up of my spray booth bench, thought I’d share a pic for the enjoyment of my fellow TBC members 😂


Geoff.

Frankly that is a disgrace to the ‘I know there is a bench under there somewhere and I assure you I know where everything is’ club ethos. I was prepared to let you in as an executive member, but after this shocking revelation, you can rest assured that any such consideration will be terminated with extreme spilling of paint on the membership papers.

Yours Huffily.
 
Its a good effort, but not quite minimalistic enough for me.
Those bottles/jars on the right need a proper home and a paper roll holder would be handy too.
Like the taped down paper, my wife uses lining paper for her desk when she is linocut printing.
 
Sounds like a very exclusive club there McSporran.

Looks like it could be a welcome distraction for single and divorced modellers, that is if you can actually find any of that ultra rare species who actually always keep their benches tidy.

Warning !
Married modellers run acute personal risk of becoming an endangered species should they join said club !

You’re right, I must try harder 😔
