[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by gregmc Well I just recently joined. Just received my card the other day. Lin Young of the Grafton and Greenbrier talked me into joining and we are trying to get Division 9 of the Mid Central Region back on its feet. Division 9 encompasses a little of small portion of southern Ohio, eastern Kentucky and a large portion of WV. My understanding is that this division has been dormant for many years and its not because of a lack on model railroaders in this region. I imagine there are around 75-100 model railroaders just in the Charleston-Huntington area. Now that I am a member, I am not sure what I will do. I have checked out the golden spike and master modeler info and think I might try for them. Greg McCartney [/quote] Well you will have your hands full. Myself .Jim Hielmelman,and a couple of others tried to get div.9 going a couple years ago.I live in Clarksburg WV.When i was awarded my golden spike it took 1 year and two months to actually recieve this in the mail.If I had not been persistent in calling the national ,chattanooga it would still be in a file on someones desk in div 6.The NMRA is a great inst.it serves the model railroading community with the purest of values and intentions.Even afer the implamentation of there Long Range Plan,to revamp and better serve,it is as best in this area of the country looked upon as useless at the local divisional level.I wish you luck in the southern end of the state trying to get 9 on its feet,we are surround by two great div.2 the Keystone div,here in the north,and Lyn Young and 6 across the river in Gallioplis OH.I have let my membership expire,I had great hopes for 9 and the achievment program but after all the trouble i had to go through just to get my Golden Spike,it derailed my interest.To many years operating wth outdated policies,that did not serve the members I fear has done irreverserable damage.Good Luck on your achievement program goals .Terry
