[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by man o war My wife joined the local club with me and for the most part she is accepted however there are a few males who do seem to resent her presence as this is their territory. [/quote] I don't know if there was any resentment when I joined the 2nd club but I would at first just sit and talk to the guys about what they were doing and at the same time I was learning how to install decoders, disassemble a locomotive, install kadees. I found that the guys are always willing to be very helpful. I do not do scenery on the layout as that is not my thing even though I know how to do it. I volenteered to be the supply person. I took on the task of keeping other members updated on what is going on in the club with weekly updates by email. I sit in on the board meetings to see what is going on. We have been there 3 years now and I haven't felt anyone resents my presence. One thing I like to do is coment on the guys locomotives! And that makes them feel good if I think it is a nice locomotive! The first club I joined was in need of a secretary so I took over that position and then the next year became the President. After being President for 2 years I went back to being the Secretary. Sometimes it just takes time to settle in!
