OSWCC South had their March meeting on 3.14.09 at the home of first time host, Jerry Stephens. There was a great turnout, a lot of buying and selling, food and fun. Jerry has an amazing collection with some very rare items that many of us had never seen before. Check out the photos here.

The South membership spent a perfect summer day at the home of OSWCC President Mark Schnack on August 9th. There was great food, good conversation and a lot of Clone Wars merchandise for sale and show. Check out the photos here.

A big thanks to everyone who came out and made the 2008 Summer Social a big success! Folks from all over Ohio (and even Kentucky!) made the trip to Cincinnati for a great day of Star Wars fun. There was a great buy-sell-trade area, presentations from Kim Simmons and Scott Simmons about their involvement with the vintage line at Kenner, prizes, gaming, food, an auction, raffles, and more! There were even a few Imperials and Jedi sighted at the Social. We hope you enjoyed the day with us, we had an awesome time hosting it. Some of the photos are here with more to come.

Check out the photos from the South June meeting here. Thanks to everyone who came out and helped make it such a good time!

Next up…Summer Social 2008 here in balmy Cincinnati, Ohio on July 12th… see you all there!

The South crew got together last Saturday and had a great time. Here are the photos from the meeting, and since the photos have been sparse the last two months, we more than made up for it this time.  Enjoy all 81 of them!

The South meeting will be hosted this Saturday, May 10th at the home of Chris Crothers. The meeting will feature the usual food, sales and show & tell. The fun starts at 3:00 PM.

We are experiencing some difficulty with the forums, so if you need directions either check the forum events thread for October 2006 (Chris’s last meeting) or email me at oswcc.south@oswcc.com.  See you there!

The photos from the South April meeting are up here.

Come join the South crew this Saturday for our monthly meeting. Dale Meyers will be hosting, and there is a change in the normal meeting time. We’re going to get started at 2:30 PM and wrap up at 6:30 PM. Directions are in the forums. This meeting will feature the members of the club who are also into costuming, including members of the 501st! If you are into Star Wars costuming, bring some costumes or props to show off, and if you’re interested in getting into costuming bring your questions. We’ll also have the usual show & tell, sale tables and more.

The South meeting for today, March 8th has been postponed to next Saturday, March 15th due to Hoth like conditions in Cincinnati. Bryan Moore will still be hosting, and other meeting details remain the same.
