Member’s meetings

Bi-monthly meetings are held throughout most of the year. These vary from guest speakers to 'Bits and Pieces' evenings.

Guest speakers talk about past or current projects, often they are the authors of articles currently in model engineering publications. Another favourite are the 'Bits and Pieces', where members share tips and demonstrate project progress.

No matter what your interest, they are always fascinating.

7.30 PM start (see below).     New members made most welcome.
