<p>It has been a number of years since I have been a dues paying NMRA member so I am talking from memory (which may be out of date).</p><ul><li>I think that a certain percentage of a clubs members must be individual NMRA members before the club is recognized by NMRA. This is the primary reason for the club requirement.</li></ul><p>Benefits:</p><ul><li>Of course the local club membership.</li><li>Regional meets - if you are close enough - these are good show & tell and information exchange gatherings.</li><li>National meets - same thing.</li><li>A Master Modeler certificate is prestigious if you would like to work toward one (or more) of those.</li></ul><p><em>...however it also appeared to obtain any info you have to pay</em> </p><p>The NMRA standards and recommended practices are all free on their web site. I have the now dated CD which does cost extra.</p><p>I have no idea what the dues are today but you are supporting the only standards body in our hobby (manufacturers aside). We could not have gotten to where we are today without them.</p><p>-John</p><p> </p>
