All, This is in response to a query by John Eichmann. Our club organization is similar to that of Eric Reis. We have no officers or dues. I function as the club coordinator (basically, the secretary's job in a more formal setting). We try to get together at least once a month, round robin at different members' homes. General meetings are to disseminate S news, watch a train tape, play with the host's trains, have show 'n tell, shoot the bull, etc. We do not produce a newsletter. We also have work sessions that are usually more focused on a particular goal. I would say that the club's energy has focused more in the last couple of years on construction of modules to incoporate into our display layout that we take to train shows to promote S model railroading. Individual members are responsible for financial underwriting and storing their own modules. We all help with the construction phase (at least, the basic initial stuff). We started out with 4 members going on 12 yea! rs ago; today, we have 10 members, with 6-7 core active members. Although most of us started out in AF, our interests range from collecting AF to scale operation. We are currently upgrading our layout to standardize DCC operational capability. The club does basically what the members are interested in; it is their organization. Hope this helps.
