We are currently Contra Costa
County's only IPMS chapter and are based in Concord, California.
Our chapter was named after Mt. Diablo, a 3849' mountain that
was named a State Historical Landmark in 1977. Gracing Mt. Diablo's
peak is the historic Summit Building. The beacon at the top of
the rotunda of the Summit Building is lit each year for only one
day, Pearl Harbor day (December 7th). This is to honor those who
lost their lives in 1941. The club was founded in 1991 by a handful
of devoted modelers and has been growing ever since. Even though
the chapter is a small group in comparison to other clubs, we
have had a successful and fun time of it. Our chapter contains
several National IPMS Contest winners in addition to the many
Regional awards many of our members have been fortunate to receive
over the years. We pride ourselves in being low-key. This is not
the kind of club where by-laws are quoted.
Our dues are $20.00 per year.
