The 9th Model Makers & Collectors Exhibition was a great success with thousands flocking to the Derwent Entertainment Centre to see the miniatures, trains, boats, planes, radio controlled models, static models and helicopters. Thanks to the efforts of Brian Johnson, Ian Simpson and Peter Campbell. MMACA would especially like to thank the following participating organisations:

BRMA – British Railway Modellers of Australia – Tas Division; Broadmeadows Model Boat Group - Victoria; Hobart Diecast Model Collectors Group; Hobart Miniature Steam Locomotive Society Inc.; Hobart Model Railway Group; Hobart Phantom Fliers – Helicopters and Planes - inside; Hobart Rotor Sports – Helicopters - outside; Marine Modellers Association -Tas; Miniature Enthusiasts of Tasmania Inc.; STMACA Inc – Southern Tasmanian Model and Collectors Association; STMCC Inc – Southern Tasmanian Model Car Club; Tas Rail Modellers; Tassie Devils Submarine Group; Surrey Park Model Boat Club - Victoria; HMCC - Hobart Miniature Car Club – Slot Cars; Lake Illawong Model Boat Group – Victoria; and North West Radio Controlled Model Boat Group. Without their participation and the participation of individual exhibitors too numerous to name, the Exhibition would not have been possible.The MMACA also would like to thank the major sponsors, the Glenorchy Lions Club, Southern Cross Television and the Cunic Constructions for their support and assistance with the massive task of mounting and publicising the Exhibition. The support of McCanns Model World, Iron Horse Hobbies (NSW), A & R Models, and LPR Toolmakers (Vic) is also greatly appreciated.

Planning has already begun for the 2009 Exhibition and MMACA invites all previous exhibitors and new ones to consider being involved. It's a great experience and one which the thousands of visitors appreciate and enjoy.
