The Chingford and District Model
Engineering Club is over 60 years old. Our members come from all walks of life,
and do not necessarily have an engineering background. Membership is open to
either sex (several of our female members are qualified train drivers) and
starts at 12 for Apprentices, 14 for juniors and
18 years for full
membership.
|
 |
 |
 |
Weekly club meetings are held every
Sunday Morning throughout the year and on Wednesday Evenings (from 7pm )
between May to September at our club track site in Ridgeway Park, Chingford. |

These meetings are informal and include
general maintenance of the site track and rolling stock and members running
their own or club Locomotives. We also have B.B.Q's and special running
evenings.
|
 |
 |
As we need qualified drivers to operate the
Locomotives on our public running days, Wednesday Evenings are also used for
Driver Training. |
 |
|
 |
From September to May our Wednesday
Night meetings are held at St. Edmunds Church Hall, Larkswood Road, Chingford,
from 7.30pm until 10pm. These meetings are slightly more formal, with film
shows, lectures, demonstrations and discussions on a wide variety of
subjects. |
 |
 |
|
| |
The club seeks to promote all forms of
model engineering and model making,
as shown on our club badge
(Boats, Planes, Trains & Static Models). |
| |
| |
We do not have a boating lake or flying
facilities, but with a membership of
over eighty you will always
find someone with the answer to any problem you may have with your current
project. |
| |
| |
Virtually every Sunday Morning
throughout the year you will find a group
of members at the track
finding something to do, if it's only having a cup
of tea and a chat
(there's a lot of that). |
| |
| |
| |
So if you are fed up with watching the
telly, working on your own, or just fancy
a breath of fresh air, why
not call in one Sunday Morning or Wednesday Evening
and see what we
get up to, you might find you like it. |
| |
| |
| |
The club keeps a large stock of
materials available to members at very low cost.
We also have a
library of books and videos on associated subjects always
available,
as is our club workshop which is fully equipped to do the
larger jobs. |
