We are in the same club as Mark & Sue Smith and enjoy it immensely. From reading posts regarding clubs in the past, I think a misunderstanding is clouding the perception of what a garden RR club is all about. Most clubs DO NOT have a "club layout" but are a collection of home layouts. Our Minnesota club has voluntary open houses at members homes throughout the warm weather months. Garden railroading around here is as much social as it is a hobby. A majority of our wifes also come to these open houses and have formed friendships with other women as well as the guys. Lets face it guys, having the wifes involved does make the whole experience much better. So don't put down membership in a garden railroad club based on horror storys of small scale clubs. Don't have a club?......Start One!!! Our club was started by one man who didn't even have a layout, only a track set up on the floor. This man rented a table at the Minnesota State Fair....hung a sign on the front of the table and now we have 80 some members. If this sounds like a plug for garden railroad clubs.....IT IS. Join a club or start one, you won't regret that decision. Yes I realize that some of you live in remote areas and club membership would involve long drives to an open house. Some of our members live as much as eighty miles away from the twin cities but still come to the open houses. And we go to their open houses also. May all your weeds be wild flowers......OLD DAD
